Abstract:
In a WCDMA mobile communication system, when the amount of packet traffic transmitted to or received from a UE decreases during a predetermined time in a CELL_DCH state in which a WCDMA packet data connection has been established, the UE transitions to a CELL_FACH state by a radio network controller (RNC). Thereafter, it is determined if there is no transmitted or received packet traffic during a certain time in the CELL_FACH state (which is an RRC state in which an RRC connection has been connected, and the dedicated physical channel has been released). When it is determined that there is no transmitted or received packet traffic during the certain time, the UE requests a network to release the RRC connection by utilizing a Signaling Connection Release Indication (SCRI) message. The invention enables a UE to check a packet transmission or reception flow, and to directly transmit the SCRI message to the network.

A wireless terminal 100A is compatible with an OFCDM system and has a signal processing section 151, a synchronous detection section 162, etc. The signal processing section 151 performs Fourier transform when the wireless terminal is compatible with the OFCDM system; the signal processing section 151 performs Fourier transform and inverse Fourier transform compatible with an OFDM system when the wireless terminal is compatible with the OFDM system and a CDMA system. When the wireless terminal is compatible with the OFCDM system, the synchronous detection section 162 uses taps used in the systems when the wireless terminal is compatible with the OFDM system and the CDMA system. When the wireless terminal 100A is placed out of the area in the OFCDM system, it is switched to a configuration compatible with the OFDM system and the CDMA system.
Abstract:
Incremental interference cancelation (IC) capability management and signaling is disclosed. A mobile device selects certain groups of its individual IC capabilities to deactivate in response to various operating conditions it is experiencing. The mobile device reports its currently active IC capability to a serving base station, which uses information to determine whether to modify any existing communication conditions with respect to the reporting mobile device. The base station detects and analyzes the current communication conditions with respect to the reporting mobile device in light of the mobile device's currently active IC capabilities. The base station may modify such conditions through actions such as signaling the mobile device to activate or deactivate certain other groups of IC capabilities. The base station can make other modifications such as changing the communication schedule for the mobile device, modifying the control loop for channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting, and the like.

Method for reducing power consumption in a multimode device is disclosed. The multimode device includes a COMM1 component and a COMM2 component. In one aspect, a COMM1 component may be a UWB component and a COMM2 component may be a CDMA component. According to a disclosed embodiment, the time for a next scheduled COMM1 wakeup process to be performed by a COMM1 module is established. Thereafter, if the next COMM1 wakeup process is scheduled to be performed before the next COMM2 wakeup process, a COMM2 wakeup process is synchronized to be performed by a COMM2 module at the same time as the next COMM1 wakeup process. Following, when the time arrives for the COMM1 module to perform the next COMM1 wakeup process, the COMM2 module also performs the COMM2 wakeup process.
