    Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption in connected mode discontinuous reception is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device sending a transmission for a pending HARQ retransmission process and receiving an ACK for the transmission. The method can further include the wireless communication device determining a subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in the pending HARQ retransmission process to monitor for an uplink grant in response to receiving the ACK and monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities for an uplink grant. The method can additionally include the wireless communication device entering a sleep state for any uplink transmission opportunities remaining in the pending HARQ retransmission process after monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in an instance in which an uplink grant for the pending HARQ retransmission process is not received for any of the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing radio measurements during discontinuous reception. In one exemplary embodiment, the distribution of Long Term Evolution (LTE) DRX measurements is staggered or distributed across multiple DRX cycles (which may be contiguous or non-contiguous) so as to reduce the transceiver activity and power consumption. The exemplary UE in one implementation only performs a subset of measurements during each DRX cycle. By staggering or distributing cell measurements over multiple DRX cycles, the UE can improve power consumption, while still conforming to measurement requirements.

    Abstract: Adaptive generation of channel quality indicators based on a current communication scenario. A plurality of sets of channel quality indicator information may be stored for each of a plurality of UE communication scenarios. The information may be usable in generating a channel quality indicator. During operation of the UE, a current communication scenario of the UE may be determined. A first set of channel quality indicator information may be selected based on the determined current communication scenario being experienced by the UE. At least one channel quality indicator may be determined based on the selected first set of channel quality indicator information. Finally, the channel quality indicator may be provided to a base station.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to determine a frequency adjustment in a mobile wireless device are disclosed. A method includes determining a coarse frequency error estimate and multiple fine frequency error estimates; selecting at least one candidate fine frequency error estimate having a frequency value closest to a corresponding frequency value for the coarse frequency error estimate; and determining a frequency adjustment based on a combination of the coarse frequency error estimate and the selected at least one candidate fine frequency error estimate. In an embodiment, the method further includes calculating a confidence metric for the coarse frequency error estimate; when the confidence metric exceeds a threshold value, determining the frequency adjustment based on the candidate fine frequency error estimate; otherwise, determining the frequency adjustment based on a fine frequency error estimate in the plurality of fine frequency error estimates closest to a most recent previous fine frequency error estimate.

    Abstract: Connected-mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) cycle scaling by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. The UE may establish a connection with a network via a wireless link, which may operate according to LTE. The UE may communicate with the network via the wireless link using C-DRX over a plurality of C-DRX cycles. Each C-DRX cycle may include a period of time during which the UE operates in a reduced-power state and a scheduled on-duration period of time. An indication may be received to remain in the reduced-power state during the scheduled on-duration period of time of at least one C-DRX cycle. The UE may remain in the reduced-power state during the scheduled on-duration period of time of at least one C-DRX cycle in response to the indication.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for network-based detection and mitigation of hybrid client device reception outage events. For example, in one embodiment, a cellular device uses a single-radio solution to support circuit-switched calls on a CDMA 1X network and packet-switched calls on LTE. Periodically, the cellular device tunes away from LTE and monitors CDMA 1X activity, and vice versa. During these tuned-away periods, the network adjusts operation to mitigate adverse effects (e.g., underutilization of radio resources, synchronization loss, etc.).
