Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for configuring maximum allowed transmit power for wireless communications systems. Some embodiments treat multiple traffic types, such as voice traffic and data traffic, separately with respect to one or more maximum allowed transmit power limits. In some cases, at least first transmit power limit for at least a first traffic type and/or at least a second transmit power limit for at least a second traffic type may be determined. At least the first transmit power limit with respect to the first traffic type or the second transmit power limit with respect to the second traffic type may be utilized. Some embodiments are configured to utilize flexible bandwidth carriers.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are provided that may enable wireless communications systems that utilize flexible bandwidths to transmit at the same or similar rates as wireless communications systems that utilize normal bandwidths. Some embodiments identify a target rate for a broadcast channel of a first bandwidth carrier system and transmit broadcast information utilizing the target rate. The target rate is higher than a scaled rate that results from scaling the rate for a broadcast channel of a second bandwidth carrier system by a bandwidth scaling factor. The first and second bandwidth carrier systems may be flexible and normal bandwidth carrier systems, respectively. To compensate for the bandwidth scaling and effectively maintain the rate at which information is transmitted in normal bandwidth carrier systems, different optimized schedules for system and master information transmission, different channelization codes and channels, and/or different scaled spreading factors may be identified and utilized.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are described for selecting or identifying a first band number from one or more additional band numbers mapped to a frequency division duplexing (FDD) band used in universal mobile telecommunications (UMTS). The one or more additional band numbers may be different from a second band number assigned to the FDD band. Each of the one or more additional band numbers may correspond to a different factor N (e.g., N=2, N=4) for use in UMTS scaling. A signal indicative of the first band number may be transmitted to, for example, a network entity, where the signal indicates support of UMTS scaling operations in the FDD band using the factor N corresponding to the first band number.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines an operational state of a header compressor or a header decompressor by determining a transition between different operational states associated with the header compressor and/or by determining a transition between different operational states associated with the header decompressor. A persistent scheduling mode is changed in response to a change in the operational state of the header compressor. The persistent scheduling mode may be changed by activating uplink persistent scheduling when the operational state of the header compressor changes from a first order state to a second order state, and/or by deactivating the uplink persistent scheduling when the operational state of the header compressor exits the second order state.
