Abstract:
A pre-allocation grant schedule for communications between a wireless communication device (UE device) and a base station may be conducted according to requests made by the UE device. The UE device may provide information to a base station, requesting the base station to end a previous pre-allocation schedule and/or to start a new pre-allocation schedule. A request for stopping a previous pre-allocation schedule and starting a new pre-allocation schedule may be transmitted at the same time or in subsequent frames, respectively, depending on whether transition is from talk to non-talk mode or non-talk to talk mode. The base station may determine a pre-allocation schedule using the information received from the UE device, and may begin communicating uplink grants to the UE device according to the pre-allocation schedule requested by the UE device. The UE device may in turn may communicate with the base station according to the received uplink grants.
Abstract:
A device, system, and method perform an adaptive link adaptation. The method, at a user equipment (UE) connected to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network via an evolved Node B (eNB), includes determining a type of wireless traffic being utilized by the UE based upon at least one application executed on the UE, the wireless traffic being one of a data only, a voice only, or a combination thereof. The method includes determining a block error rate (BLER) target value to be used in a channel state feedback operation associated with a link adaptation operation for a connection between the UE and the eNB.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing collisions of transmission data for a first subscriber (e.g., a voice subscriber) with transmission data for a second subscriber (e.g., a data subscriber) at a dual sim dual active (DSDA) user equipment (UE) are described herein. A DSDA UE may be configured to implement a modified skipUplinkTxDynamic feature that avoids collisions by buffering transmission data of the data subscriber and sending a (later) scheduling request (SR) for a grant for that data. A DSDA UE may regulate data subscriber transmissions to avoid a transmission duration for the voice subscriber. A DSDA UE may reduce certain transmissions for a voice subscriber (subject to a block error rate (BLER) threshold for the voice subscriber) to lower the probability of collision. A DSDA UE may operate a data subscriber and a voice subscriber in the same cell to avoid collisions due to RF tuning and/or relative slot overlap.
Abstract:
Described herein are apparatuses, systems and methods for adaptive downlink scheduling and link adaptation. The methods including, at a base station connected to a user equipment (“UE”), determining an initial modulation and coding scheme (“MCS”) for a plurality of subframes to be transmitted to the UE, wherein each MCS relates to a coding rate value for the subframes, determining an MCS pattern for the plurality of subframes based on the initial MCS, wherein an MCS for one of the subframes has a higher coding rate value than the initial MCS, and transmitting the plurality of subframes to the UE according to the MCS pattern.
