Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for uplink transport protocol acknowledgment shaping and downlink data shaping at a user equipment. A method that may be performed by the UE generally includes determining an allowed number of transport protocol acknowledgments to transmit in a transmission time interval (TTI); and transmitting one or more transport protocol acknowledgments in the TTI based, at least in part, on the determined allowed number of transport protocol acknowledgments. Another method that may be performed by the UE generally includes determining an allowed number of downlink data units to transmit in a TTI; and transmitting one or more data units in the TTI based, at least in part, on the determined allowed number of data units.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for avoiding out of order uplink data reception upon data radio bearer (DRB) release or quality of service (QoS) flow addition. An exemplary method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE), includes obtaining an indication that a first data radio bearer (DRB) is released or handed over to a second DRB, wherein a first mapping maps a first quality of service (QoS) flow to the first DRB; obtaining a second mapping that maps the first QoS flow to a second DRB; editing service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) headers of uplink protocol data units (PDUs) in an uplink transmission buffer associated with the first DRB, based on a difference between a first configuration of the first DRB and a second configuration of the second DRB; and transmitting the uplink PDUs via the second DRB.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a modem may receive, from an applications processor of a user equipment (UE), a registration message associated with keep alive offloading. Accordingly, the modem may filter incoming transmission control protocol (TCP) packets to determine a current sequence number and a current acknowledgement number. The modem may further receive, from the applications processor, an indication to perform a keep alive procedure. Accordingly, the modem may transmit, periodically, TCP keep alive packets based on the current sequence number and the current acknowledgement number. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to uplink buffer management are provided. In some aspects, a user equipment receives a synchronization acknowledgment message destined for a device tethered to the user equipment and transmitted by an application server at a network to which the user equipment is connected. In some aspects, the synchronization acknowledgment message includes an application server receiver window size indicating available buffer space in a receive buffer of the application server. The user equipment can modify the application server receiver window size in the received synchronization acknowledgment message prior to transmitting the received synchronization acknowledgment to the tethered device.
Abstract:
A configuration to enable a UE to send data to a modem, from an AP, in the absence of an uplink grant from the modem. An apparatus receives data transmissions from a base station. The apparatus stores the data transmissions in a memory of the AP of the apparatus. The apparatus identifies, by the AP, an uplink grant based at least in part on a size of a modem buffer. The apparatus determines, by the application processor, whether to send data to the modem based at least in part on the identified uplink grant. The apparatus sends, by the AP, the data when the identified uplink grant exceeds a threshold.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to smart processing of wireless wide area network (WWAN) packets transmitted over wireless local area network (WLAN). According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) capable of communicating via at least first and second radio access technologies (RATs) is provided. The method generally includes dynamically switching to a location, within the UE, as an anchor point for processing packets based, at least in part, on operating states of the first and second RATs and routing packets received via at least one of the first and second RATs to the dynamically switched location of the anchor point.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a modem. The apparatus detects reception of a low latency data packet. The apparatus starts a data activity timer determined based on the detection of the reception of the low latency data packet. The apparatus sends a disable low power message from the apparatus to a host device to disable a low power state of a link between the apparatus and the host device based on a duration of the data activity timer.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for offloading checksum processing in a user equipment (UE) (e.g., from an application processor to a modem processor). Such offloading may speed up packet processing, increase data rate, and/or free up resources of the application processor for other tasks.
