Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for signaling alignment for multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers. Tools and techniques are provided that may help ensure signaling alignment with respect to feedback messages, such as ACK/NACK messages, in multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers and/or systems that may utilize multiple different flexible bandwidth carriers. Some methods may include identifying timing for one or more subframes that carry one or more feedback messages for a first cell; and/or adjusting a timing for one or more subframes that carry one or more feedback messages for a second cell to align with the one or more subframes that carry the one or more feedback messages for the first cell. The first cell and/or the second cell may include at least one of the one or more flexible bandwidth carriers.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided for discontinuous reception (DRX) alignment for multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers. Tools and techniques are provided that may help ensure signaling alignment, such as with respect to DRX cycles, in multicarrier systems that may utilize one or more flexible bandwidth carriers and/or systems that may utilize multiple different flexible bandwidth carriers. Some methods may include identifying a DRX cycle for a first cell and/or adjusting a boundary for a DRX cycle for a second cell such that the boundary for the DRX cycle for the second cell coincides with a boundary for the DRX cycle for the first cell, where at least the first cell or the second cell comprises at least one of the one or more flexible bandwidth carriers.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product directed to a client estimation of round trip time via transport control protocol (TCP) signals over multiple radio access technologies. A TCP probe signal is transmitted to a server via a TCP connection, and an acknowledgment signal is received from the server via the TCP connection in response to the TCP probe signal. A round trip time is then estimated based on the acknowledgment signal.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may enable wireless communications systems that utilize flexible bandwidths to transmit at the same or similar rates as wireless communications systems that utilize normal bandwidths. Some embodiments identify a target rate for a broadcast channel of a first bandwidth carrier system and transmit broadcast information utilizing the target rate. The target rate is higher than a scaled rate that results from scaling the rate for a broadcast channel of a second bandwidth carrier system by a bandwidth scaling factor. The first and second bandwidth carrier systems may be flexible and normal bandwidth carrier systems, respectively. To compensate for the bandwidth scaling and effectively maintain the rate at which information is transmitted in normal bandwidth carrier systems, different optimized schedules for system and master information transmission, different channelization codes and channels, and/or different scaled spreading factors may be identified and utilized.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines an operational state of a header compressor or a header decompressor by determining a transition between different operational states associated with the header compressor and/or by determining a transition between different operational states associated with the header decompressor. A persistent scheduling mode is changed in response to a change in the operational state of the header compressor. The persistent scheduling mode may be changed by activating uplink persistent scheduling when the operational state of the header compressor changes from a first order state to a second order state, and/or by deactivating the uplink persistent scheduling when the operational state of the header compressor exits the second order state.
