Abstract:
Techniques are provided for controlling downlink data transfer during carrier aggregation. For example, a method may control a secondary component carrier downlink (DL) in a wireless communication network using carrier aggregation. The method may include detecting, by a mobile entity, an event indicating a resource constraint at the mobile entity related to a data transmission from a base station to the mobile entity on a secondary component carrier of a carrier aggregation enabled connection. The method may include, in response to detecting the event, controlling the data transmission by signaling a status of the secondary component carrier DL to the base station.
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.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus are provided that may help improve user experience during a media session when a mobility procedure of a user equipment (UE) involved in the session causes disruption in reception of packets. According to certain aspects, upon detecting an event indicating a mobility procedure is likely to occur, the UE may increase size of a buffer used to store packets during the session and/or reduce the rate at which packets are played out from the buffer to reduce service (e.g., voice/data) interruption.
