Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for continuing high-speed packet access (HSPA) during the baton handover in Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCD-MA) systems. In aspects of the disclosure, one techniques for performing a baton handover from a source node B (NB) to a target NB by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The technique generally includes receiving a first signal instructing the UE to perform the baton handover from the source NB to the target NB, the first signal including non-scheduled transmission grant information and transmitting data to the target NB during the baton handover in accordance with the non-scheduled transmission grant information, wherein the data is re-transmitted to the target NB a predetermined number of times.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication comprising switching an uplink (UL) from a source cell to a target cell; and receiving a Synchronization Shift (SS) command from the source cell, wherein the SS command is generated by the target cell. In one aspect, the method and apparatus further comprise switching a downlink (DL) through the target cell; completing a physical channel reconfiguration; and sending a Physical Channel Reconfiguration Complete message to the Radio Network Controller (RNC) through the target cell.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus enable high-speed downlink data transmissions to continue while a baton handover is in progress. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method of wireless communication includes switching an uplink from a source cell to a target cell while maintaining a downlink with the source cell, and transmitting over the uplink to the target cell at least one metric of quality of the downlink In one example, the metric of quality may be a CQI. In another example, the metric of quality may be a HARQ ACK/NACK. The metric of quality of the downlink may be transmitted from the target cell to the source cell, directly or by way of a radio network controller.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for improving redirection in a TD-SCDMA circuit-switched fallback from TDD-LTE systems. Certain aspects provide a method that generally includes initiating a call setup (CS) procedure for leaving a base station (BS) of a first radio access technology (RAT) for a call on a second RAT, receiving, in response to the CS procedure, a message from the BS of the first RAT comprising a system frame number (SFN) for the BS of the first RAT and an offset number for a BS of the second RAT for setting up the call, and generating an estimated SFN for the BS of the second RAT based on the SFN for the BS of the first RAT and the offset number.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for performing a time division duplex-long term evolution (TDD-LTE) measurement in a time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) system. Certain aspects provide a method that generally includes obtaining measurements of downlink (DL) transmission from a base station (BS) of a second radio access technology (RAT), maintaining uplink (UL) transmission with a BS of a first RAT while obtaining the measurements, and performing network acquisition operations with the BS of the second RAT based on the measurements.
Abstract:
By controlling whether operations are offloaded to a protocol stack hardware accelerator as a function of data rate, power consumption may be reduced, for example, when data rates result in fragmented or segmented data not suitable for processing by the stack hardware accelerator.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for policing traffic in communications systems are described herein. According to systems and methods herein, tokens are generated for a packet data network based on a peak transmission rate associated with the packet data network. Packets are selected for transmission over the packet data network based on availability of tokens.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method for hardware activation of dual USIM TD-SCDMA multimode mobile terminals. The technique effectively provides for efficient power consumption. In one aspect, a mobile terminal may register dual mobile identifiers on a first radio access technology (RAT) using a first hardware module. If a call is set up, the mobile terminal activates a second hardware module and registers the unused mobile identifier with the second RAT.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for scheduling TD-SCDMA idle intervals, wherein a frame for inter-RAT measurement is selected based on a number of UEs allocated.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for effective measurement in a second Radio Access Technology (e.g., TD-SCDMA) while receiving service in a first Radio Access Technology (e.g., GSM).
