Abstract:
Idle power consumption of a user equipment (UE) is affected by an adaptive cell reselection process to prevent ping-pong cell reselection. The adaptive cell reselection includes adapting triggering threshold values for reselection based on signal strengths. The triggering threshold value may be increased for cell reselection while the UE receives a good signal from a serving cell. When the serving cell signal is poor, the cell reselection triggering threshold value is decreased to allow for fast cell reselection.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication include determining whether to move a receive window by more than a change in an uplink transmit timing of a user equipment (UE). The methods and apparatuses further include moving the receive window by an amount larger than the change in the uplink transmit timing when a determination is made to move the receive window by more than the change in the uplink transmit timing. Moreover, the methods and apparatuses include identifying at least one cell with receive time within the receive window at the UE.
Abstract:
Techniques for handling fingers with large delay spread through utility optimization are described. A first signal may be received, through a finger of a plurality of fingers in a receiver, at a time that is later than a reference time after a reference signal is received by a reference finger of the plurality of fingers. The reference signal may be included in an on-time group corresponding to a cell. The first signal may be included in a late group corresponding to a virtual cell. The first signal and the reference signal may be compared to one another. Based on the comparing, it may be determined whether to wait for additional signals in the late group or process the signals in the on-time group.
Abstract:
One or more aspects of the present disclosure aim to enable a reduced call drop rate and/or improved call performance in calls using 3GPP Release 99 Dedicated Physical Channel (DPCH) signaling, while reducing, or at least not causing a substantially large rise in power consumption at a wireless device, by utilizing selection diversity at a receiver. According to an aspect of the disclosure, a UE invokes a measurement period for detecting a downlink dedicated control channel (DCCH) based on a condition of a radio channel, during an initial portion of a transmission time interval (TTI). The UE samples one or more characteristics of a radio channel utilizing one or more of a plurality of receive chains. If the DCCH is detected during the measurement period, the UE selects one or more receive chains from among the plurality of receive chains in accordance with the one or more sampled characteristics. The UE receives a downlink transmission utilizing the selected one or more receive chains.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may reduce the difference in transmit power between the uplink channel and enhanced high speed channel so that the base station may decode the uplink channel. The UE may determine the transmit power level for the uplink channel, such as dedicated physical channel, and the transmit power level for the enhanced high speed channel, such as shared information channel, and reduce the power difference when the power difference is greater than a threshold. The power difference may be reduced by increasing or decreasing the power of the enhanced high speed channel and/or increasing or decreasing the power of the uplink channel.
