Abstract:
Techniques for uplink transmit power command (ULTPC) rejection threshold optimization in WCDMA for power control algorithm 2 (PCA2) are described. Uplink transmit power control commands may be received on a five-slot interval. The uplink transmit power control commands may be decoded for each of the five slots. The decoded uplink transmit power control commands may be compared for each of the five slots to a threshold. The threshold may he optimized to minimize overall transmit power control decision error. A bit decision may be made for each of the five slots based on the comparison and an overall transmit power control command may be determined based on the bit decision for each of the five slots over the five-slot interval.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for wireless communication that includes measuring energy on a first path metric and second path metric, comparing the energy on the first path metric and second path metric to a predetermined threshold and determining if Dedicated Control Channel (DCCH) energy is present.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate common data channel resource usage report for receiving additional channel resources in a wireless network. An access point can initially receive a set of channel resources from a network controller for providing wireless network access to one or more devices. The access point can grant and/or deny requests for one or more of the channel resources from a plurality of devices and can feedback information to the network controller regarding the granting/denying. The network controller can determine a load on the access point based at least in part on the feedback information and adjust channel resource allocation based on the load. Thus/ where an access point has granted resources close to capacity to one or more devices, the network controller can provide additional resources to the access point based on received feedback information related to the granted resources.
Abstract:
To create additional communication gaps for a user equipment to perform inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) measurement, the user equipment may discontinue communications during time slots of specific transmission time intervals (TTIs) based on a block error rate of a previous TTI. The time of the discontinued communications may then be allocated for inter-RAT measurement.

Abstract:
Idle power consumption of a user equipment (UE) is affected by an adaptive cell reselection process to prevent ping-pong cell reselection. The adaptive cell reselection includes adapting triggering threshold values for reselection based on signal strengths. The triggering threshold value may be increased for cell reselection while the UE receives a good signal from a serving cell. When the serving cell signal is poor, the cell reselection triggering threshold value is decreased to allow for fast cell reselection.

Abstract:
Aspects of the methods and apparatus relate to improving the overall decision quality of the Fractional-Dedicated Physical Channel (F-DPCH) channel. One aspect of the methods and apparatus relates to detecting bad channel conditions of a serving base station and improving the serving base station F-DPCH decoding performance in such bad conditions based on the serving base station signal-to interference ratio (SIR) estimation. Another aspect of the methods and apparatus relate to improving the overall decision quality of the F-DPCH channel in soft handover (HO) scenarios by increasing the non-serving base station F-DPCH channel rejections thresholds based on certain SIR estimations. The F-DPCH channel rejections thresholds are based on either the SIR of the non-serving base station, or a difference between non-serving base station SIR and serving base station SIR.
