Abstract:
A communication system operates in the first power state during a communication session. The system transitions from the first to a second power state, when a first predefined time period expires after transfer of a packet and before a transfer of a next packet, for any of and no more than a first N packets in the communication session. Alternatively or in addition, the system transitions from the first to the second power state when: (a) the first predefined time period expires after transfer of a packet and before transfer of a next packet in the communication session and (b) the size of each packet transferred thus far in the communication session is not greater than S.

Abstract:
A method for wireless communication is described. A primary radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) supporting a plurality of radio frequency (RF) receive paths is provided. Standalone RF resources of a core-resource RFIC to integrate with the plurality of RF receive paths of the primary RFIC to enable an additional functionality of the primary RFIC are then added. A minimum set of RF resources necessary to add support for an additional RF receive path may be determined, and RF resources, including one or more of an antenna, an RF front end, and a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and switches of the primary RFIC, may be shared. A digital baseband integrated circuit (IC), i.e. a modem, may be operated to support both a first of the plurality of RF receive paths from the primary RFIC and a second of the plurality of RF receive paths from the core-resource RFIC.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to interference cancellation. A method of performing interference cancellation in a wireless device having a receiver, a coefficient controller and an analog interference cancellation (AIC) circuit includes utilizing the receiver to receive a signal; utilizing the coefficient controller to compute a first cost function value using a first set of coefficients, to compute a second set of coefficients using a first coefficient control algorithm, to compute a second cost function value using the second set of coefficients, to compare the second cost function value with the first cost function value, and to determine whether to apply the first set or the second set of coefficients based on the comparison; and utilizing the AIC circuit to apply the first or second set of coefficients to filter a reference signal and the receiver to subtract the filtered reference signal from the received signal for interference cancellation.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to interference cancellation. A method of performing interference cancellation in a wireless communications device having one or more transmit antennas, one or more transmitters, one or more receive antennas, one or more receivers, one or more coefficient controllers and one or more analog interference cancellation (AIC) circuits includes using the one or more coefficient controllers for determining coefficients for one or more adaptive filters within the one or more AIC circuits.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to an application-layer handoff of an access terminal from a first system of an access network to a second system of the access network during a communication session within a wireless communications system. In an embodiment, the access terminal sets up a communication session on the first system. A multimedia client measures application-layer performance parameters for the communication session supported by the first system, and determines whether to handoff the communication session to a second system based at least in part on the application-layer performance parameters. If the multimedia client determines to handoff the communication session to the second system, the multimedia client initiates the handoff and the communication session is transitioned to the second system.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may communicate over a first wireless wide area network (WWAN). The first WWAN may be supported by a first subscriber identity module (SIM) of the UE. The UE may also communicate simultaneously over a second WWAN supported by a second SIM. The UE may process the second WWAN communication with a portion of a WWAN module and a portion of a wireless local area network (WLAN) module.
Abstract:
Apparatus, methods, and computer program products providing power savings in Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS)-configured Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) with Connected State Discontinuous Reception (C-DRX) are provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE). The UE receives a packet when the UE is in a persistent scheduling mode. The UE transmits a negative-acknowledgement (NACK) message when the packet is not successfully decoded. The UE refrains from transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK) message when the packet is successfully decoded. The UE may enter a power save state immediately after the packet is successfully decoded. The packet may be addressed to the UE in a unicast message. The packet may be received during an on-duration of a C-DRX cycle. The packet my include VoLTE downlink (DL) traffic. The packet may be received on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
Abstract:
Techniques for aggregating wireless communications are provided. These techniques include a method for aggregating wireless communications traffic in a femtocell. The method includes receiving at a femtocell a stream of data packets for a mobile device from a wireless router, selecting a transmission mode for sending data packets of the stream of data packets from the femtocell to the mobile device. The first transmission mode includes transmitting the data packets from the stream via a Long Term Evolution (LTE) interface of the femtocell. The second transmission mode includes transmitting the data packets from the stream via a WiFi interface of the wireless router. The third transmission mode includes transmitting a first portion of the data packets to the mobile device via the LTE interface and routing a second portion of the data packets to the wireless router for transmission to the mobile device via the WiFi interface.
Abstract:
Aspects of regulating broadcast overhead messages within a wireless communications network are disclosed. In an example, an access network periodically sends a message advertising an announced multicast session on each of a plurality of carriers, the message indicating that the announced multicast session is being carried on a target carrier among the plurality of carriers. The access network determines whether to cease transmission of the periodic message within each non-target carrier based on a number of times the periodic message has been sent in each of the plurality of carriers, and ceases transmission of the periodic message within each non-target carrier based on the determining step.
