Abstract:
A method and apparatus can be configured to receive, by the apparatus, a configuration for a carrier. The carrier deploys at least one cell to be used for carrier aggregation. The method can also include detecting the at least one cell. The method can also include determining that the at least one cell is a secondary cell for carrier aggregation based on the at least one cell being detected.
Abstract:
Various communication systems may benefit from insight regarding when a device is performing power saving operations. For example, wireless communication systems may benefit from secondary cell state activation and deactivation of measurement gaps. A method can include determining, by a user equipment, whether a secondary cell is in an activated state or an inactivated state. The method can also include selectively enabling or disabling measurement gaps for the user equipment based on the determined state of the secondary cell.
Abstract:
Various methods are provided for reducing uplink transmissions. One example method may comprise causing operation of use equipment in a uplink synchronized state, wherein updates are received periodically in a on duration period, on duration periods are related to discontinuous reception (DRX) short cycle timer, receiving instruction to disable uplink transmission during one or more on duration periods related to short cycle timer of DRX, and causing disablement of uplink transmission in accordance with instruction.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for determining whether a user equipment is in an inactive connected mode, i.e. applies discontinuous reception DRX mode, during a period of inactive data reception; and disabling a timer for triggering a measurement report at the user equipment, when the user equipment applies DRX mode, wherein the disabled timer inhibits the measurement report related to a target cell from being sent by the user equipment. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
