Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for reporting a user equipment (UE) transmission power headroom (UPH) of a secondary uplink carrier at the UE. For example, the method may include activating the secondary uplink carrier upon receiving a message from a base station in communication with the UE to activate the secondary uplink carrier, determining whether the UE has data available for transmission from the UE to the base station, computing a UPH value of the secondary uplink carrier in response to determining that the UE has data available for transmission, and transmitting the computed UPH value to the base station. As such, timely reporting of a secondary uplink carrier UPH to improve performance may be achieved.
Abstract:
In an aspect, this disclosure provides for determining a power imbalance between a first radio frequency (RF) carrier and a second RF carrier of a dedicated physical control channel for uplink transmission, determining whether the power imbalance is greater than a power imbalance threshold, and blocking data transmission on one of the first RF carrier or the second RF carrier when the power imbalance is greater than the power imbalance threshold.
Abstract:
Aspects related to allocating transmission power in wireless communications are described. It can be determined whether data is to be transmitted on an uplink control channel in one or more upcoming transmission time intervals (TTIs). Based on this determination, transmission power is allocated to an uplink enhanced dedicated channel in the one or more upcoming TTIs. Where uplink control channel data is not to be transmitted in the one or more upcoming TTIs, transmission power that would have been used for the uplink control channels can instead be allocated to the enhanced dedicated channel.
Abstract:
Compressed configuration data may be read from a non-volatile memory of a computing device, decompressed, and used to configure circuitry of the computing device. The decompressed configuration data may be in the form of key-value pairs. A lookup table of most frequently occurring values in the original or uncompressed configuration data may be used to determine the values.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may receive a first set of transmissions, each transmission of the first set of transmissions corresponding to a respective interference metric of a first set of interference metrics. The wireless node may receive a second set of transmissions in association with a selected reception mode of a plurality of reception modes, wherein the selected reception mode is based on an estimated power metric and an estimated performance metric. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify, based at least in part a determination to transmit one or more packets, a scheduling request (SR) occasion in which to transmit an SR for uplink resources to transmit the one or more packets, the SR occasion occurring prior to a start of a connected discontinuous reception (CDRX) on duration of the UE. The UE may determine whether the SR occasion occurs within a threshold amount of time prior to the start of the CDRX on duration of the UE. The UE may transmit the SR in the SR occasion based at least in part on the determination of whether the SR occasion occurs within the threshold amount of time prior to the start of the CDRX on duration of the UE. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to enable enhanced machine type communication (s) (eMTC) and/or narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices to transition to idle mode after releasing a connection, such as a radio resource control (RRC) connection, more quickly than with previously known techniques. An example method includes determining, based on an indication received in a narrowband signal on a narrowband region of a bandwidth comprising a plurality of narrowband regions, whether to wait for a delay period, determined based on a configuration received from a network entity, before releasing a radio resource control (RRC) connection and releasing the RRC connection at a time in accordance with the determination.
