Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus of handling in-device co-existence interference in a wireless communication environment. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting in-device co-existence interference between a LTE module and an ISM module in user equipment. The method further includes identifying subframes and corresponding HARQ processes in a set of subframes allocated to the LTE module which are affected by the ISM module operation. Additionally, the method includes reserving the remaining subframes and corresponding HARQ processes in the set of subframes for the LTE module operation. Furthermore, the method includes indicating to a base station that the remaining subframes and the corresponding HARQ processes are reserved for the LTE module operation to resolve the in-device co-existence interference. Moreover, the method includes receiving scheduling pattern indicating subframes and corresponding HARQ processes reserved for the LTE operation or derived DRX parameters from the base station based on the indication.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for determining a configuration for a radio frame. A transition from a period of inactivity to a period of activity is detected in a configured discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. A category of at least one subframe of the radio frame that is likely to be encountered during the period of activity is determined, if a dynamic reconfiguration of time division duplex (TDD) uplink (UL)-downlink (DL) configurations is enabled. The category of the least one subframe includes one of a flexible subframe and a fixed subframe.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of configuring a set of Radio Access Network (RAN) parameters including Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configurations for user equipment in a wireless networking system. The method includes determining traffic characteristics associated with user equipment based on the number and types of applications running in it. The method further includes steps of modifying and updating the DRX configurations and the RAN parameters for different situations of wireless transmission and reception. The updated DRX configurations and the RAN parameters for communication with the user equipment results in an efficient power consumption management.
