Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine a predicted tune-away for a set of voice frames. In some aspects, the user equipment may alter a vocoder rate from a first vocoder rate to a second vocoder rate that is less than the first vocoder rate based at least in part on determining the predicted tune-away for the set of voice frames. In some aspects, the user equipment may drop, in connection with an occurrence of the predicted tune-away, a subset of packets for a time period corresponding to the predicted tune-away. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. A first user equipment (UE) may determine that the first UE is to transfer a call from the first UE to a second UE, wherein the first UE and the second UE share a mobile device number (MDN). The first UE may initiate a call transfer procedure to transfer the call from the first UE to the second UE while the call is in an active state.
Abstract:
In various aspects, the disclosure provides for Enhanced Voice Services (EVS) encoding, including encoding an audio signal to obtain an encoded audio signal and a bitrate associated with the encoded audio signal; establishing a source format for the encoded audio signal based on the bitrate; reformatting the encoded audio signal with a pre-selected pattern to generate a packet, wherein a capacity of the packet is based on the source format. And, in various other aspects, the disclosure provides for EVS decoding, including obtaining a data rate associated with a packet; discarding one or more pre-selected patterns from the packet to recover an encoded audio signal based on the data rate; and decoding the encoded audio signal to generate a decoded audio signal.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) are provided. The apparatus sends a request to a second UE for establishing a call connection, receives from the second UE an acknowledgment for establishing the call connection, establishes at least one first dedicated bearer between the first UE and a network for communicating media packets with the second UE, sends first dummy data to the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer, receives at least one of second dummy data or a media packet from the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer, and exchanges media packets with the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer after receiving the at least one of the second dummy data or the media packet from the second UE.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to video telephony and, more particularly, to techniques for detecting a video pause in a video telephony application. In one example of the disclosure, a method for video telephony comprises detecting, at a receiving device, that video data packets associated with a video telephony call have stopped arriving from a sending device, and determining that the sending device has paused a video portion of the video telephony call based on information contained in video control packets.
Abstract:
In-band signaling may be used between two stations to determine the capabilities of the stations and/or send actionable information between the stations participating in the call. The in-band signals are indicative that the station that is transmitting the in-band signals can use in-band signals as a conduit to send and/or receive various types of information and are used to probe whether the receiving station can operate similarly. If the receiving station detects and reacts to the in-band signals, then both stations can pass control information and data as well as enhancements between each other, without any need of infrastructure upgrade and/or quality compromise to legacy phone users. Additionally or alternatively, out of band interfaces and watermarking may also be used.

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:
Aspects are provided which allow a UE to disable measurements of reference signals from 5G base stations which are inapplicable to EN-DC. The UE may receive a reference signal from a base station. The UE may identify a frequency range. The UE may determine whether to measure the reference signal based on whether the reference signal is within the identified frequency range. The UE may refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to the determination. The UE may also refrain from measuring the reference signal in response to a SIB received at the UE not including a ULI, or in response to a frequency associated with the reference signal not being in a list of supported bands for EN-DC. As a result, inter-RAT handovers from LTE base stations to 5G base stations are prevented, UE power consumption is thereby saved, and support for EN-DC is maintained.
Abstract:
A wireless device determines a biased wireless device position and a receiver clock error for a plurality of satellites, the biased wireless device position and the receiver clock error being associated with a biased ambiguity. The wireless device calculates, upon determining the biased wireless device position and the receiver clock error, the biased ambiguity for each of the plurality of satellites. The wireless device applies the biased ambiguity to a carrier phase measurement for each of the plurality of satellites, the carrier phase measurement being associated with the receiver clock error and an absolute location of the wireless device. The wireless device determines, upon applying the biased ambiguity to the carrier phase measurement for each of the plurality of satellites, the absolute location of the wireless device based on the biased ambiguity for all of the plurality of satellites.
