Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for communicating physical layer wireless parameters over an application programming interface. A wireless modem of a wireless device may measure at least one physical layer wireless parameter. The wireless modem may report the at least one physical layer wireless parameter to an application running on the wireless device over an application programming interface between the wireless modem and the application. A behavior of the application may be adapted to control wireless communications between the application and a network based on the at least one physical layer wireless parameter reported by the wireless modem. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for generating and managing a set of sectors, the signals received from which are utilized to generate an interference estimate for use by an interference cancellation circuit. The set of sectors generally includes a subset of the combined set of sectors in the Active Set and the Candidate Set for an access terminal. A finger of a receiver at an access terminal can be assigned to each sector in the set of sectors for interference cancellation to improve receiver operations. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed for selecting between a Rake receiver and an interference cancellation engine (ICE) for receiving forward link signals in a wireless communication network. Selection can be based on one or more of various factors in the channel. These factors can include an average SINR of at least one of the first receiver or the second receiver, a dispersion of a downlink channel, a flatness metric, a number of locked fingers at the first receiver or the second receiver, or a size of an Active Set. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are claimed and described.
