Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide wireless communication devices and methods configured to operate with multiple active connections. A user equipment establishes a first active connection associated with a first subscription. The user equipment also establishes a second active connection, simultaneous to the first active connection, associated with a second subscription. The user equipment provides modem information corresponding to connection qualities of the first active connection and second active connection, to an operating system of the user equipment. Furthermore, the user equipment mitigates contention between the first active connection and second active connection by degrading at least one of the first active connection or second active connection in accordance with a decision given by the operating system based on the modem information.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be configured to establish a first call for a first subscription, and accept a second call for a second subscription while maintaining the first call. A single transmit chain may be used to transmit uplink traffic associated with the first call and uplink traffic associated with the second call. A timesharing schedule for the transmit chain may determine when the uplink traffic associated with the first call is transmitted and when the uplink traffic associated with the second call is transmitted on the transmit chain. Downlink traffic associated with the first and second calls may be received using different receive chain. Downlink traffic associated with the first and second calls may be received using the same receive chain.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be configured to establish a first call for a first subscription, and accept a second call for a second subscription while maintaining the first call. A single RF transmit chain may be scheduled for uplink transmissions associated with the first call and uplink transmissions associated with the second call. A timesharing schedule for the transmit chain may determine timing for the uplink transmissions associated with the first call is transmitted and when the uplink transmissions associated with the second call is transmitted on the transmit chain. Downlink transmissions associated with the first and second calls may be received using different receive chain. Downlink transmissions associated with the first and second calls may be received using the same receive chain.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that provide for generation of an encoded transport block (TB) that includes a number of systematic code blocks (CBs) and a number of parity CBs. The systematic CBs may be transmitted to a receiver, and the receiver may attempt to decode the systematic CBs. In some cases, one or more parity CBs may be transmitted with the systematic CBs, and the systematic CBs may be successfully decoded even in the event that one or more of the systematic CBs are not successfully received. In some cases, a receiver may provide feedback that requests that additional CBs be transmitted to decode the systematic CBs that were received, and it is not necessary to retransmit the missing systematic CBs. In some cases, a quantized value of a number of additional CBs needed to decode the TB may be transmitted.
Abstract:
Decoding and encoding methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One method may include receiving a codeword over a wireless channel, the codeword being encoded using a polar code, identifying a set of repeated bit locations in the received codeword, and identifying a set of bit locations of the polar code used for information bits for the encoding. The set of bit locations may be determined based at least in part on recursively partitioning bit-channels of the polar code for each stage of polarization and assigning portions of a number of the information bits to bit-channel partitions of each stage of polarization based on a mutual information transfer function of respective aggregate capacities of the bit-channel partitions. The method may also include decoding the received codeword according to the polar code to obtain an information bit vector at the set of bit locations, and other aspects and features.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for implementing opportunistic mobile receive diversity (“OMRD”) on a multi-SIM wireless device. The wireless device may receive a request from a protocol stack associated with the first SIM to utilize the second RF resource for receive diversity, and determine whether a protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Upon determining that the protocol stack associated with the second SIM currently has a lower priority than the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, the wireless device may grant control of the second RF resource to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM. Granting control may provide, to the protocol stack associated with the first SIM, a capability to enable and disable receive diversity using the first and second RF resources.

Abstract:
A method for performing mobile receive diversity may include: enabling a first receive chain associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) to receive one or more signals from a second RAT; receiving second RAT signals on a second receive chain; enabling receive diversity on a modem associated with a second receive chain; generating, by a diversity receiver, a receive diversity signal based on the one or more second RAT signals received by the first receive chain during periods of time the first receive chain does not receive a signal from the first RAT; and outputting the generated receive diversity signal to a decoder for the second RAT.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of performing discontinuous reception (DRX) and long timescale discontinuous transmission (LDTX) in a wireless communications system. An access terminal (AT) includes a communications interface configured to receive a forward link (FL) transmission from a network, wherein the FL transmission includes a plurality of frames each including at least two half slots. The AT further includes a computer-readable medium with instructions and a processing circuit coupled to the communications interface and the computer-readable medium. The AT is configured to enable a LDTX mode including an LDTX on period and an LDTX off period. In the LDTX off period, the AT autonomously enables a DRX mode in at least a portion of a half slot based on data contained in the half slot.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provides an apparatus configured to perform discontinuous reception (DRX) in a wireless communications system. The apparatus is configured to receive a forward link (FL) transmission from a network. The FL transmission includes one or more frames, wherein each of the frames includes a plurality of power control groups (PCGs). The apparatus determines a FL setpoint. If the FL setpoint is less than a maximum setpoint value by an amount greater than a predetermined value, the apparatus autonomously enables DRX to receive a predetermined subset of PCGs among the plurality of PCGs.
