摘要:
A method of wireless communication is presented. The method includes receiving a transport format combination indicator (TFCI) indicating a number of blocks and a block size for data to be sent on downlink time slots of a current frame and/or a subsequent frame. The method also includes determining when data is not expected to be received on an allocated downlink time slot and performing neighbor cell measurement during the allocated downlink time slot.

Methods and apparatus for using a location of a mobile station (MS) and information about neighbor base stations (BSs) to assist network entry and initialization, scanning, and/or handover operations are provided. The location of the MS may be ascertained by determining the Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the MS internally or by receiving the location from, e.g., a GPS device external to the MS. The information about neighbor BSs may be retrieved from a BS information database based on the location of the MS. The BS information database may reside within the MS, be broadcast periodically to the MS in an effort to update the MS's internal database, or be stored in the network operator's database. Knowledge of the MS's location and information about neighbor BSs may reduce the time spent during network entry, scanning, or handover, and thereby, power consumption; and may increase the bandwidth usage efficiency.

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which the method of wireless communication includes identifying a reference cell; selecting a plurality of candidate cells based on a criteria; determining a characteristic for the reference cell and the plurality of candidate cells; and setting a position based on the determined characteristic.

In a wireless communication system, a user equipment (UE) may be capable of communication on multiple radio access networks. A UE may be in simultaneous communication with one radio access network, such as TD-SCDMA for circuit-switched voice calls and with another radio access network, such as TDD-LTE for packet-switched data communications. When the TDD-LTE network is idle, the UE may evaluate signal strength of the respective network for potential cell reselection. The UE may measure only a serving TD-SCDMA cell for purposes of switching packet-switched service to the TD-SCDMA network, thereby avoiding a situation where the UE attempts to connect to a different TD-SCDMA cell for purposes of packet-switched communications than the cell presently affiliated with the UE for circuit-switched communications.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for synchronizing TD-SCDMA and TDD-LTE systems. Certain aspects provide a method that generally includes obtaining, from a base station (BS) of a first radio access technology (RAT), timing and a system frame number (SFN) for a BS of a second RAT, and performing network acquisition operations with the BS of the second RAT using the timing and the SFN.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for resolving paging interval conflicts between two different radio access technology (RAT) paging intervals and for avoiding missing paging messages for a multimode terminal (MMT). Certain aspects provide a method for detecting messages associated with paging, by an MMT supporting multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), from first and second networks using first and second RATs, such as Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) IxRTT (Radio Transmission Technology), Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO), or Wideband CDMA (WCDMA). The method generally includes using a first MIMO receive chain of the MMT to detect a first message associated with paging from the first network and simultaneously using a second MIMO receive chain of the MMT, different from the first receive chain, to detect a second message associated with paging from the second network.

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure improve a robustness of some critical MAC management response massages transmitted from a base station (BS) to a mobile station (MS). In this way, a reliability of transmission can be increased and a messaging failure that results in out of sync state between the MS and the BS can be avoided.
摘要:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose techniques for enhancing a measurement gap for TD-SCDMA measurement. Certain aspects provide a method that generally includes receiving, from a base station (BS) of a first radio access technology (RAT), a message indicating a measurement gap in which a user equipment (UE) is to take a measurement in a second RAT, the message comprising an indication of a start position of the measurement gap and a duration of the measurement gap; and taking a measurement during the measurement gap.
摘要:
Avoidance of uplink synchronization oscillation in TD-SCDMA systems begins when a user equipment receives a downlink SS command from a Node B. The user equipment obtains a previous uplink timing, which may be from a previous sub-frame associated with the downlink SS command. The user equipment would obtain this previous sub-frame associated with the SS command directly from the Node B as an identification of the Node B's sub-frame delay. The user equipment will then calculate the uplink timing for its next updated uplink signal by combining the previous uplink timing with the synchronization adjustment associated with the SS command. The user equipment then transmits its next uplink signal using the new uplink timing.
摘要:
Open loop power control in Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) multi-carrier systems is facilitated through the determination of a value for open loop control on a primary carrier frequency which is then used to perform open loop control on at least one secondary carrier frequency in the multi-carrier system. This determined open loop control value may be applied using the value determined on the primary carrier frequency, or may be further adjusted using an estimated difference between received power of the primary carrier frequency and the secondary carrier frequencies, in selected aspects. When the pilot signals in the secondary carrier frequencies are transmitted at different power levels, this open loop control value may be further adjusted with a transmit power level offset.
