Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for power conservation in a wireless communications system. In embodiments, power conservation may be achieved by adaptively controlling power modes of a wireless communication device, and implementing lower power modes with various modes of the device. According to one aspect, the mode of the device may be a beacon monitoring mode or a delivery traffic indication message (DTIM) mode. In such a mode, the device may receive a portion of a beacon in a first power mode. The device may transition to a second, different (e.g., higher) power mode using information contained in the received portion of the beacon as guidance.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for power conservation in a wireless communications system. In embodiments, power conservation may be achieved by adaptively controlling power modes of a wireless communication device, using a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value as a factor for guidance. According to one aspect, the device may be in a reception mode. While in a first power mode, the device may receive control information for incoming data that is being transmitted via a transmission frame. The control information may be located in a first portion of the frame with the data following in a second portion of the frame. The control information may include or otherwise indicate an MCS value corresponding to the MCS applied to the incoming data. Based on the MCS value, the device may be adaptively switched to a second power mode for receiving the incoming data.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) uses information regarding dynamic resource allocation in a mobile wireless service (MWS) radio access technology (RAT) to improve MWS and wireless connectivity network (WCN) RAT coexistence. The UE may receive an indication of time and frequency resources of future activity of the MWS RAT. The UE may schedule communications of the WCN RAT based at least in part on the indication of the time and frequency resources of the future activity.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for communicating with a second apparatus in a wireless communications network are described herein. In some aspects, a first wireless communication unit is configured to communicate with the second apparatus via a first wireless protocol. The first wireless communication unit may transmit a first message to the second apparatus. A second wireless communication unit is configured to communicate with the second apparatus over a communication link via a second wireless protocol. The second wireless communication unit may be further configured to disconnect the communication link if the first wireless communication unit does not receive a second message from the second apparatus within a predetermined amount of time after transmission of the first message.
Abstract:
A wireless device includes a first circuit to transmit wireless signals, a second circuit to receive satellite signals, and a processor. The processor is to selectively adjust a transmission rate of the wireless signals in response to a comparison between a first priority value assigned to the wireless signals and a second priority value assigned to the satellite signals. The processor may also monitor one or more operational parameters associated with the wireless signals, and in response thereto dynamically adjust one or both of the first and second priority values.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) uses information regarding the timing of scheduling mobile wireless services (MWS) RAT communications to improve MWS and wireless network connectivity (WCN) radio access technology coexistence. To allow sufficient time for an uplink grant to be received by the UE in advance of the scheduled uplink time, an uplink grant may be sent in advance of the scheduled uplink time. In some instances, the UE may receive an indication of scheduled uplink time of the MWS RAT via a physical layer communication. The UE may schedule communications of the WCN RAT based at least in part on the indication of future activity.
