Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, devices and/or apparatuses for logical channel prioritization by a user equipment (UE) within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless communications network. The UE may have multiple logical channels each associated with one or more applications or services of the UE. The UE may identify whether a quality of service (QoS) obligation to allocate at least a portion of uplink resources to a logical channel for a time period is present, and may also identify whether the logical channel has control data to be transmitted from the UE. If a QoS obligation and/or control data are present for the logical channel, the UE may allocate at least a portion of the uplink resources to the logical channel.
Abstract:
Aspects generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods, systems and apparatus for timing synchronization during a wireless uplink random access procedure. For example, certain aspects relate to a technique for receiving first timing advance information associated with uplink wireless communications with a base station (BS), transmitting a random access connection request message to the BS, receiving a random access response from the BS while the first timing advance information is within a valid time period, the random access response comprising second timing advance information associated with uplink wireless communications with the base station, determining, after receiving the random access response, that the valid time period for the first timing advance information has expired, and utilizing the second timing advance information for uplink communications with the BS after determining that the valid time period for the first timing advance information has expired. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for decoding Multimedia Broadcast and Multicast Service (MBMS) data. A User Equipment (UE) may receive a Multicast Control Channel (MCCH) and Multicast Channel Scheduling Information (MSI) in a same subframe of a scheduling period, the MCCH and the MSI relating to one or more MBMS services provided in a Multimedia Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) area. The UE may configure at least a first control layer for the one or more MBMS services based on the MCCH and retain the MSI at least until the configuring is complete. The UE may thereafter configure at least a second control layer for the one or more MBMS services based on the MSI.
