Abstract:
A method for reducing power consumption in connected mode discontinuous reception is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device sending a transmission for a pending HARQ retransmission process and receiving an ACK for the transmission. The method can further include the wireless communication device determining a subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in the pending HARQ retransmission process to monitor for an uplink grant in response to receiving the ACK and monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities for an uplink grant. The method can additionally include the wireless communication device entering a sleep state for any uplink transmission opportunities remaining in the pending HARQ retransmission process after monitoring the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities in an instance in which an uplink grant for the pending HARQ retransmission process is not received for any of the subset of remaining uplink transmission opportunities.
Abstract:
Performing cell re-selection by a device. A first cell on which to camp may be selected. The device may camp on the first cell in an idle-mode. The device may be configured to perform searches for neighboring cells according to an idle-mode timeline while camping on the first cell. The device may transmit a connection request to the first cell in order to transition the device from the idle-mode to a connected-mode via the first cell. One or more searches for neighboring cells may be performed according to a connected-mode timeline after transmitting the connection request, in response to transmitting the connection request. The one or more searches may be performed before the device establishes the connected-mode with the first cell.
Abstract:
Adaptive generation of channel quality indicators based on a current communication scenario. A plurality of sets of channel quality indicator information may be stored for each of a plurality of UE communication scenarios. The information may be usable in generating a channel quality indicator. During operation of the UE, a current communication scenario of the UE may be determined. A first set of channel quality indicator information may be selected based on the determined current communication scenario being experienced by the UE. At least one channel quality indicator may be determined based on the selected first set of channel quality indicator information. Finally, the channel quality indicator may be provided to a base station.
Abstract:
Providing adaptive channel state feedback (CSF) reports in discontinuous reception (DRX) scenarios in a power-efficient manner. The described algorithm may be able to make adaptive decisions to carry over the CSF from previous DRX cycles based on channel conditions, DRX cycle length, and/or the requirements of CSF reporting for current DRX cycle. The proposed approach can allow for more efficient power consumption related to CSF reports in DRX scenarios where new CSF reports have little or no impact to throughput.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses to determine a frequency adjustment in a mobile wireless device are disclosed. A method includes determining a coarse frequency error estimate and multiple fine frequency error estimates; selecting at least one candidate fine frequency error estimate having a frequency value closest to a corresponding frequency value for the coarse frequency error estimate; and determining a frequency adjustment based on a combination of the coarse frequency error estimate and the selected at least one candidate fine frequency error estimate. In an embodiment, the method further includes calculating a confidence metric for the coarse frequency error estimate; when the confidence metric exceeds a threshold value, determining the frequency adjustment based on the candidate fine frequency error estimate; otherwise, determining the frequency adjustment based on a fine frequency error estimate in the plurality of fine frequency error estimates closest to a most recent previous fine frequency error estimate.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for network-based detection and mitigation of hybrid client device reception outage events. For example, in one embodiment, a cellular device uses a single-radio solution to support circuit-switched calls on a CDMA 1X network and packet-switched calls on LTE. Periodically, the cellular device tunes away from LTE and monitors CDMA 1X activity, and vice versa. During these tuned-away periods, the network adjusts operation to mitigate adverse effects (e.g., underutilization of radio resources, synchronization loss, etc.).
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to perform millimeter wavelength communication with increased reliability and power efficiency using sensor inputs. The sensor inputs may include motion, rotation, or temperature measurements, among various possibilities. The sensor inputs may be used when performing beamforming tracking, antenna configuration, transmit and receive chain measurements and selection, and/or in any of various other possible operations.
Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to perform substantially concurrent communications with a next generation network node and a legacy network node. The wireless device may be configured to stablish a first wireless link with a first cell according to a RAT, where the first cell operates in a first system bandwidth and establish a second wireless link with a second cell according to a RAT, where the second cell operates in a second system bandwidth. Further, the wireless device may be configured to perform uplink activity for both the first RAT and the second RAT by TDM uplink data for the first RAT and uplink data for the second RAT if uplink activity is scheduled according to both the first RAT and the second RAT.
