Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for expedited mobile device handover that include performing one or more handover tasks in parallel that have previously been performed exclusively in serial. For example, the disclosure presents a method for wireless device handover, which may include acquiring a target cell, ascertaining a system frame number (SFN) of the target cell, calculating a connection frame number (CFN) for a dedicated channel (DCH) transmission, and reconfiguring a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) based on the calculated CFN. In addition, such an example method may include, while performing at least one of the ascertaining of the SFN, the calculating of the CFN, and the reconfiguring of the DPCH, contemporaneously performing at least one of establishing a downlink dedicated physical channel (DL-DPCH), establishing a synchronization with the target cell, and establishing an uplink dedicated physical channel (UL-DPCH) subsequent to the downlink synchronization.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for processing data received at a user equipment comprises determining a protocol data unit (PDU)-specific Layer 1 decoding metric of a Layer 1 decoded PDU. The methods and apparatus further comprises determining whether to perform a Layer 2 decoding of the Layer 1 decoded PDU based on the PDU-specific Layer 1 decoding metric.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands in windup mode. In one aspect, the method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a plurality of DLTPC commands from a base station, analyzing on one or more transmitted uplink (UL) TPC commands, detecting a windup mode based on the one or more DLTPC and ULTPC commands, and rejecting one or more DLTPC down commands in the windup mode.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands based on signal-to-interference-ratio estimates (SIRE). The method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a DL transmit power control (TPC) command from a base station; calculating a signal-to-interference ratio estimate (SIRE) for the DL channel; determining a scaling factor for a DLTPC rejection threshold based on the DL channel SIRE; adjusting the DLTPC rejection threshold based on the determined scaling factor; and rejecting or accepting the DLTPC command based on the adjusted DLTPC rejection threshold.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication include determining whether to move a receive window by more than a change in an uplink transmit timing of a user equipment (UE). The methods and apparatuses further include moving the receive window by an amount larger than the change in the uplink transmit timing when a determination is made to move the receive window by more than the change in the uplink transmit timing. Moreover, the methods and apparatuses include identifying at least one cell with receive time within the receive window at the UE.
