Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may have data in a buffer for uplink (UL) transmission. The UE may transmit a buffer status report (BSR) indicating the amount of data. The BSR may fail or a base station may not grant sufficient resources for transmission of the data. A BSR failure condition may be based on a radio link control (RLC) operating mode of the data. For example, the data may be an acknowledgement (ACK) for an acknowledged mode (AM) DL transmission. In this case, the UE may initiate a BSR retransmission (Retx-BSR) timer and determine whether any duplicate transmissions have been received. The data may also be associated with an unacknowledged mode (UM), and the BSR failure condition may include waiting for a time interval that is less than the Retx-BSR time interval. When the BSR failure condition is satisfied, the UE may transmit a scheduling request to the base station.
Abstract:
A method for 1x/LTE dual domain camping with a single radio UE is described. The method includes adaptively sharing a first receive chain and a second receive chain between a first radio access technology (RAT) modem and a second RAT modem of the single radio UE.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods for facilitating identification and/or acquisition of an access point are provided. Methods can include transmitting or receiving access point information (“API”) indicative of an identification of the access point (“AP”). The API can be provided at the AP through hardwiring or receipt of configuration information input by a user or transmitted to the AP by a network operator through Over-The-Air (“OTA”) signaling. The API can be computer-readable and, in some embodiments, the API can also be human-readable. The API can be transmitted on a paging channel from which user equipment (“UE”) can receive information. The frequency at which the API is transmitted can be fixed, dynamic and/or configurable. Upon receipt of the API, acquisition of the AP is attempted if the AP is determined to be a permitted AP.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In a first configuration, the apparatus is an eNB. The eNB configures a UE with aggregated carriers including a primary carrier from a primary cell and one or more secondary carriers from one or more secondary cells. In addition, the eNB sends, with the configuration, SIB13 information for at least one secondary cell of the one or more secondary cells from the primary cell. In a second configuration, the apparatus is a UE. The UE receives a configuration with aggregated carriers including a primary carrier from a primary cell and one or more secondary carriers from one or more secondary cells. In addition, the UE receives, with the configuration, SIB13 information for at least one secondary cell of the one or more secondary cells from the primary cell.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for improving the performance of a user equipment handover during a data call. In one aspect, a source base station determines to handover user equipment (UE) to a target base station. The source base station first determines whether the UE is in a data call prior to the handover. The source base station then modifies one or more of connected mode discontinuous reception (CDRX) and semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) parameters with the UE based on determining to handover the UE and determining that the UE is in the data call.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a probability of occurrence of an event expected to occur within a period of time is determined, where the event comprises one or more of a tune-away event and a suspension event. One or more transmission control protocol parameters are manipulated before the occurrence of the event when the probability of occurrence exceeds a threshold to increase a retransmission time out parameter value, or to maintain a desirable congestion window size. The transmission control protocol parameters may be manipulated by delaying, duplicating or dropping acknowledgements and/or by selectively dropping received packets before, during, or after the event.
