摘要:
At least one feature pertains to a method of communication that comprises aligning a measurement task that utilizes a resource within a user equipment, such that at least a portion of the measurement task is performed during a time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, and executing the measurement task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment. In one example, the measurement task may be a searcher task, the resource may comprise receiver circuitry, and the time that the resource is enabled corresponds to a DRX monitoring interval of a downlink channel, such as a high speed shared control channel. By aligning and executing the searcher task during the time that the resource is enabled in the user equipment, searcher overhead may be reduced. Reducing searcher overhead allows the user equipment to save power by disabling the receiver circuitry.
摘要:
In a cellular communication system, apparatus and methods relating to a power-optimized demodulator front end (demfront) receiver subsystem of a user equipment (UE) can reduce power utilization by optimizing the operation of the demfront receiver subsystem. For example, in an aspect, the apparatus and methods include enabling a first receiver of a device for receiving a control channel on a downlink from a node, determining that the control channel schedules the device to receive data on the downlink, enabling a second receiver of the device that consumes more power than the first receiver to receive the data on the downlink, and re-enabling the first receiver for receiving the control channel on the downlink subsequent to receiving the data.
