    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method to be performed at a station configured to connect to a Long Term Evolution radio access network (LTE-RAN) to utilize enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services using a Multicast-Broadcast Single-Frequency Network (MBSFN). The method including receiving a MBSFN subframe having a MBSFN subframe structure including a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, a first one of the OFDM symbols having a first reference symbol inserted therein, a second one of the OFDM symbols having a second reference symbol inserted therein, determining a rate of change of channel conditions being experienced by the station and performing a non-destaggered channel estimation when the rate of change of channel conditions is greater than a predetermined threshold, the non-destaggered channel estimation using a first Channel Impulse Response (CIR) at the first OFDM symbol and a second CIR at the second OFDM symbol.

    摘要: A user of a device desires that geographic position information of the device be kept private. A network may track a geographic position of a device using timing advance (TA) data and also a passive attacker may attempt to track the geographic position of the device by observing base station TA commands. In embodiments provided herein, a device diminishes or obfuscates geographic position information by using a timing change value while not disturbing synchronization of uplink signals from multiple devices arriving at a base station. To resist an averaging solution by an observer, the device in some embodiments adjusts the timing change value based on an internal timer. In an emergency call situation, the method permits the base station to obtain geographic position information based on TA procedures.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A method for adaptively disabling receiver diversity is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining an active data traffic pattern; defining a threshold channel quality metric based at least in part on a threshold channel quality needed to support a threshold quality of service for the active data traffic pattern; comparing a measured channel quality to the threshold channel quality metric; and disabling receiver diversity in an instance in which the measured channel quality metric satisfies the threshold channel quality metric.
