    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reducing power consumption in a wireless device operating in a discontinuous transmission (DTX) mode while using a voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) service. The wireless device detects a period of voice inactivity and transmits one or more silence descriptor (SID_UPDATE) frames to a second wireless device in place of encoded speech frames. The SID_UPDATE frames are transmitted periodically based on measurements of comfort noise parameters. The wireless device determines a difference between weighted averages of comfort noise (CN) parameters of two sequences of encoded speech frames. When the difference exceeds a difference threshold, a SID_UPDATE frame is transmitted. Additionally, in some embodiments, a SID_UPDATE frame is transmitted when the weighted average of CN parameters exceeds a parameter threshold and/or when a time between SID_UPDATE frames or time elapsed after entering a silence state exceeds one or more time thresholds.

    Abstract: A device and method for throttling carrier aggregation (CA) in a device connected to a CA enabled network. The method includes determining that a carrier aggregation state of the device is enabled by a network component of a CA enabled network to which the device is connected, determining at least one condition indicating that the carrier aggregation functionality is unnecessary, generating a throttling indication to indicate to the network that a secondary serving cell (SCell) providing a secondary component carrier (SCC) in the carrier aggregation functionality is to be disabled and transmitting the throttling indication to the network component.
