Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for bandwidth expansion in channel co-existence situations. An example method generally includes determining information regarding loading of at least one of downlink (DL) or uplink (UL traffic at a first base station that can share at least some bandwidth with at least one neighbor base station, and modifying bandwidth of one or more channels used by the first base station based, at least in part, on the loading information.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for off-loading user equipment (UE) from a small cell base station. For example, the method may include identifying a first and a second set of UEs from a plurality of UEs at a small cell base station, prioritizing the first and the second set of UEs, and off-loading one or more UEs from the first or the second set of UEs based at least on the prioritization. As such, off-loading of UEs from a small cell base station may be achieved.
Abstract:
Provided are methods and apparatus for selecting a communication channel. The methods and apparatus select a channel having the least interference and minimize a number of different channels in use. For example, a method for selecting a communication channel includes measuring a transmission characteristic for each channel in a plurality of channels to create a transmission characteristic measurement for each channel. The method also includes receiving, from at least one neighboring access point, data indicating the neighboring access point uses a channel in the plurality of channels. A utility value for each channel in the plurality of channels is calculated by weighting, based on the number of the neighboring access points using each channel in the plurality of channels, the transmission characteristic measurement for each channel in the plurality of channels. Further, the channel having the highest or the lowest utility value is chosen as the communication channel.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication may comprise, for example, automatically determining first power settings for a first radio access technology (RAT) based on second power settings for a second RAT, and automatically applying the first power settings as power settings for the first RAT.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, for a radio associated with the UE, an energy usage in a past transmit interval. The UE may determine, for the radio, a requested usage-aware energy reservation based at least in part on the energy usage in the past transmit interval. The UE may assign, for a next transmit interval, an energy budget limit for the radio based at least in part on the requested usage-aware energy reservation. The UE may transmit, via the radio, an uplink transmission based at least in part on the energy budget limit. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for adaptive antenna mode switching. An example method performed by a wireless device includes reporting first capability information indicating that the wireless device supports a first antenna mode associated with a first number of receive antennas, detecting radio conditions that favor a second antenna mode associated with a second number of receive antennas, and performing one or more actions to cause a switch to the second antenna mode based on the detected radio conditions.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for transmit energy allocation. A method that may be performed by a wireless device includes establishing first and second wireless communication connections and allocating an available energy between the first and second wireless communication connections by: allocating a first portion of the available energy to the first wireless communication connection based at least in part on one or more functionalities associated with the first wireless communication connection; allocating a second portion of the available energy to the second wireless communication connection based at least in part on one or more functionalities associated with the second wireless communication connection; and allocating a third portion of the available energy to the first and/or the second wireless communication connections based at least in part on energy efficiencies of the first and second wireless communication connections.
Abstract:
A first wireless device may select a first beam for communication with a second wireless device from a first set of beams associated with a first beam level. A second set of beams may be associated with a second beam level. The first beam may be associated with a first children list. The first children list may be associated with a first subset of beams of the second set of beams. Each beam in the first subset of beams may have an envelope area that intersects an envelope area of the first beam. The first wireless device may select a second beam for communication with the second wireless device from the first subset of beams based on an envelope area of the second beam intersecting the envelope area of the first beam. The first wireless device may communicate with the second wireless device.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may allocate, from an energy of the UE, a first amount of energy to a first communication link and a second amount of energy to a second communication link. The UE may identify a first energy request associated with the first communication link of the UE and a second energy request associated with the second communication link of the UE. The UE may allocate, from a remainder of the energy after the first amount of energy and the second amount of energy are allocated, a third amount of energy to the first communication link and a fourth amount of energy to the second communication link. The UE may transmit in accordance with the third amount of energy or the fourth amount of energy. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may measure a beam, according to a measurement configuration, to determine a channel condition value of the beam, modify the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of a beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value, and transmit, to a base station, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value. Numerous other aspects are provided.
