Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or component thereof. The apparatus may be configured to transmit to a base station a first request to transmit data in a buffer. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit to the base station a second request to transmit the data in the buffer in absence of a grant in response to the first transmit request. The apparatus may be further configured to remain awake for at least a portion of a scheduled discontinuous reception (DRX) sleep state following the transmission of the second request.
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:
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:
A technique for uplink data throttling includes buffer status report (BSR) scaling. A target data flow rate may be determined based on at least on condition of a wireless device. The buffer status report may be adjusted to cause the target flow rate and transmitted by the wireless device. The wireless device may then receive a flow control command based on the buffer status report.
Abstract:
A processor integrated circuit has one or more processor cores and a power management controller in a North-Bridge that generates a first power state recommendation for the one or more processor cores. The North-Bridge also receives a second power state recommendation from a South-Bridge integrated circuit. The North-Bridge determines a final power state for the one or more processor cores based on the first and second power state recommendations.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the conversion of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and more particularly to a conversion of water into hydrogen and oxygen using sunlight and an inorganic catalyst. More specifically, the invention relates to systems and processes for generating hydrogen molecules from sunlight and water, such as a process comprising the steps of: i) contacting the water with nanoparticles of an inorganic photocatalyst compound in a reaction zone of a reaction chamber; ii) concentrating sunlight with an optical intensifier such that the intensity is increased by a factor greater than 2; iii) heating the reaction zone to one or more reaction temperatures greater than 140°C using the concentrated sunlight; and iv) exposing water in the heated reaction zone and in the presence of the inorganic photocatalyst compound, while at the one or more reaction temperatures, to the concentrated sunlight so that a reaction occurs that generates hydrogen molecules from the water; wherein the photocatalyst includes an element selected from Cu, Al, Ti, Ga, Cd, Zn, W, Fe, Sn, Si, or any combination thereof, the water is in the form of water vapor, the step of heating the reaction zone includes a step of converting the sun light into thermal energy, the reaction zone is free of any electrode for a photoelectrochemical process; and wherein the photocatalyst is characterized by one of the following: (1 ) the nanoparticles are calcined nanoparticles; (2) the nanoparticles includes an element selected from Cu, Al, Ti, Ga, Cd, Zn, W, Fe, Sn, Si, or nay combination thereof; or (3) both (1 ) and (2).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for prioritizing data packets when stateful compression is enabled for wireless communications is disclosed. For example, the aspects include receiving a plurality of data packets scheduled in a first order for transmission. The described aspects further include prioritizing one or more data packets of the plurality of data packets as one or more prioritized data packets, each prioritized data packet being scheduled in an order for transmission different from the first order for transmission. The described aspects further include compressing one or more unprioritized data packets of the plurality of data packets into one or more compressed unprioritized data packets. The described aspects further include scheduling the one or more prioritized data packets and the one or more compressed unprioritized data packets in a second order for transmission, the second order differing from the first order.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for optimizing performance of random access procedures by a user equipments (UE). According to aspects, the UE may be configured to obtain one or more settings for uplink transmissions to an eNodeB, the one or more settings having been determined from a previous connection with the eNodeB, and perform a random access procedure based on the obtained one or more settings.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the disclosure relate generally to uplink flow control of wireless devices for mitigation of overload issues. A user equipment (UE) may reduce an average transmit power for the uplink channel based on whether an overload metric (e.g., temperature metric) exceeds a threshold value. The UE may perform duty cycling for an uplink control channel when an overactive uplink control channel is a dominating factor in a thermal issue. The UE may further reduce a maximum power transmit limit (MTPL) for one or more uplink channels, such as physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
