Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication and more particularly for recovering missing RLC PDUs. In aspects, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes determining whether one or more grant conditions are met, and transmitting a partial status protocol data unit (PDU) and a buffer status report (BSR) based on the one or more grant conditions being met before starting a status prohibit timer if the one or more grant conditions are met. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. In aspects, the apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). However, the apparatus may be implemented as another wireless communications device, such as a base station (e.g., evolved Node B). The apparatus may determine that the apparatus is to operate in a low-latency mode. The apparatus may configure at least one layer of the apparatus to operate in the low-latency mode based on the determination that the apparatus is to operate in the low-latency mode. The apparatus may communicate with a network through the configured at least one layer.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine, when engaged in a multimedia communication, that the user equipment is receiving an uplink grant without sending a scheduling request. A semi-persistent scheduling mode may not be activated when the user equipment is receiving the uplink grant. In some aspects, the user equipment may forgo transmission of at least one scheduling request based at least in part on determining that the user equipment is receiving the uplink grant. In some aspects, an access point may determine to perform scheduling to provide an uplink grant to a user equipment engaging in a multimedia communication. In some aspects, the access point may configure semi-persistent scheduling and scheduling request masking for a logical channel to cause the user equipment to forgo transmission of a scheduling request. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may transmit a session initiation protocol (SIP) message. The apparatus may initiate a timer based at least in part on the transmission of the SIP message. The apparatus may trigger, based at least in part on expiration of the timer, at least one of: a radio link failure (RLF) procedure for cell selection, or an out of service (OOS) procedure for radio access technology (RAT) selection.
Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to wireless communications. Protocol data units (PDUs) can be received at a network layer from one or more transmitting nodes using a link associated with each respective transmitting node. One or more missing PDUs can be detected based, at least in part, on sequence numbers of the received PDUs. A timer can be started based on the detection of the one or more missing PDUs. In response to expiration of the timer, and without receiving the one or more missing PDUs before the expiration of the timer, a lower network layer can be notified that the one or more missing PDUs are received to prevent attempted transmitting/retransmitting or other processing of the one or more missing PDUs.
Abstract:
A recovery mechanism for robust header compression (ROHC) is disclosed for wireless communication systems. The ROHC recovery mechanism may allow a receiver and/or transmitter in the wireless systems to establish or reestablish a context of a packet transmission session when an initialization and refresh message is lost. In the ROHC recovery mechanism, upon receiving a compressed packet that is not associated with a context, a receiver sends a message to a transmitter suggesting the transmitter to transition to another mode. Upon receiving a subsequent packet transmission that is not associated with a context, the receiver sends another message indicating that a context has not been established or has been lost. The transmitter may then send the receiver necessary information to establish a context for the packet transmission session.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). In some examples, the UE may identify an initialization and refresh (IR) packet at the radio link control (RLC) layer based the size of the IR packet, where the IR packet comprises a larger ciphered PDU size than a compressed RoHC packet. Accordingly, once the UE identifies the received packet as an IR packet, the UE may attempt to decipher the IR packet using one or more HFN offset values. In one example, the UE may determine whether the IR packet is deciphered correctly based on cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value of the deciphered IR packet. As a result, the present disclosure allows the UE to re-synchronize with the transmitting device by at least one of incrementing or decrementing an HFN value at the receiving device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, otherwise known as a user equipment (UE) may transmit a data transmission to a receiver. In some examples, the data transmission may be a radio link control (RLC) protocol data unit (PDU) transmission. The UE may store the data transmission in a retransmission buffer, and transmit a feedback request to the receiver in a subsequent data transmission based on a system memory utilization threshold for the retransmission buffer being satisfied due to storage of the data transmission.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes: attempting a random access channel (RACH) procedure, at a first coverage enhancement (CE) level, with a base station (BS); determining a random access response (RAR) reception from the BS failed; measuring signal quality of the BS observed at the UE in response to the determined RAR reception failure; determining whether to adjust the first CE level to a second CE level based at least in part on the measured signal quality; and starting a next RACH procedure attempt, at the first CE level or the second CE level, with the BS. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a UE, for example, that is preparing for a random access channel (RACH) procedure with a base station (BS). The method generally includes: measuring signal quality of the BS observed at the UE; determining a coverage enhancement (CE) level and a RACH attempt counter value based at least in part of the measured signal quality; and attempting the RACH procedure based at least in part on the determined CE level and RACH attempt counter value.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant identifying a next transmission opportunity. The UE may determine that transmission of a buffer status report (BSR) would interfere with transmission of additional queued data. In some cases, the transmission of BSRs may have precluded transmission of the additional queued data. The UE may determine that a number of prior transmissions in which control data or signaling data was not sent satisfies a threshold. The UE may further transmit a truncated BSR during the next transmission opportunity based at least in part on the threshold being satisfied. The truncated BSR may include buffer information for a highest priority logical channel group or buffer information for the logical channel group that includes the most queued data. The UE may also transmit additional queued data during the next transmission opportunity.
