Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for event reporting based spurious dedicated physical channel (DPCH) removal in soft handover include user equipment (UE) management of spurious channels. In one aspect, the disclosure provides methods and apparatus for wireless communication that may include determining that a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) is spurious, removing the DPCH from soft combining, and sending a report indicating that a cell associated with the DPCH is unavailable. Further, the methods and apparatus may include incrementing a counter for the cell associated with the DPCH in response to removing the DPCH, determining whether the counter exceeds a removal threshold, and increasing a time to trigger for sending a report to add the cell to an active set in response to the counter exceeding the removal threshold. A cell associated with a removed DPCH may also be excluded from measurements of a current frequency.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands in windup mode. In one aspect, the method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a plurality of DLTPC commands from a base station, analyzing on one or more transmitted uplink (UL) TPC commands, detecting a windup mode based on the one or more DLTPC and ULTPC commands, and rejecting one or more DLTPC down commands in the windup mode.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) include sending an uplink enhancement message to a network entity when an uplink enhancement condition has been detected. Further, the methods and apparatus include receiving communication from the network entity in response to sending the uplink enhancement message. Moreover, methods and apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity include detecting an uplink enhancement condition. Additionally, the methods and apparatus include transmitting a network entity originated uplink enhancement message to a UE in response to detecting the uplink enhancement condition.

Abstract:
Techniques for performing cell reselection to obtain good performance are disclosed. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) performs cell reselection to a cell by applying one or more performance-based suitability criteria defined to provide good performance. In one design, the UE obtains a measured value for a cell (e.g., a femto cell) and also determines a threshold value for the cell. The threshold value is not broadcast by a wireless system. The UE determines the threshold value based on a target performance for a physical channel (e.g., a page indicator channel) from the cell. The UE determines a suitability criterion for the cell based on the measured value and the threshold value for the cell. The UE determines whether the cell is a suitable cell and also determines whether to perform cell reselection to the cell based at least on the suitability criterion.
Abstract:
The present methods and apparatus relate to interference mitigation at a user equipment during wireless communication, comprising determining that a first portion of a first radio access technology (RAT) activity scheduled during a first time slot overlaps in duration with a second portion of a second RAT activity scheduled during a second time slot; excluding the first portion of the first RAT activity based at least in part on determining that the first portion of the first RAT activity overlaps in duration with the second portion of the second RAT activity; and performing a non-overlap portion of the first RAT activity during the first time slot, wherein the non-overlap portion of the first RAT activity is a portion of the first RAT activity that remains after excluding of the first portion of the first RAT activity.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands based on signal-to-interference-ratio estimates (SIRE). The method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a DL transmit power control (TPC) command from a base station; calculating a signal-to-interference ratio estimate (SIRE) for the DL channel; determining a scaling factor for a DLTPC rejection threshold based on the DL channel SIRE; adjusting the DLTPC rejection threshold based on the determined scaling factor; and rejecting or accepting the DLTPC command based on the adjusted DLTPC rejection threshold.
