Abstract:
A method, apparatus are described for a cloud based radio access network (RAN). The method may include transmitting a first message from a base station to a user equipment (UE), determining that a second message from the UE is not received by a media access control (MAC) scheduler within a pre-determined time, delaying re-transmission of the first message or transmission of a third message from the base station to the UE, and scheduling other hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes of the UE in intervening sub-frames. The method may include receiving a first message from a UE at a base station, determining that a second message from the base station cannot be constructed within a pre-determined time from delays in receiving assignments from a Cloud, constructing and transmitting the second message to UEs based on assignments received earlier from the Cloud, and suspending an HARQ process associated with other UEs.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information scheduling transmission of periodic multimedia traffic bursts to the UE with a first periodic cadence. The UE may receive control signaling from the UE indicating that the UE is to periodically transmit sounding reference signals to the base station according to a second cadence, which may be a multiple of the first periodic cadence. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may receive control signaling indicating that the UE is to transmit a sounding reference signal at a time associated with a beginning of at least one of the periodic multimedia traffic bursts. The UE may transmit one or more sounding reference signals to the base station in accordance with the control signaling.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A device may manage an end-to-end delay budget for wireless communications. The communication device may receive semi-static control signaling indicating a packet delay requirement. The communication device may receive dynamic control signaling from a different device indicating a packet delay measurement for one or more of a packet or a group of packets associated with the wireless communication in one or more of a downlink or an uplink. The communication device may adjust a packet delay parameter to compensate a delay for one or more of the downlink or the uplink based on the packet delay requirement and the packet delay measurement, and may communicate in the downlink, the uplink, or both based on the adjusted packet delay parameter.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described related to a duty cycle configuration for power saving. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a duty cycle for cycling between a first power state associated with a first configuration and a second power state associated with a second configuration. In some examples, the first and second configurations may indicate a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration, restricted reception or transmission of one or more channels within the BWP configuration, or both for the UE. The UE may communicate first data traffic in accordance with the first configuration while operating in the first power state. The UE may transition from the first power state to the second power state in accordance with the duty cycle. The UE may communicate second data traffic in accordance with the second configuration while operating in the second power state.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) and a base station may identify a burst periodicity for communication bursts over one or more cells, such as secondary cells (SCells) in accordance with a multi-carrier communication scheme. The UE and the base station may determine a cell dormancy pattern for switching the SCells between an active state and a dormant state based on the burst periodicity. The base station and the UE may use one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) for communications and may configure the UE to perform BWP switching over the SCell during the dormancy sate switching operation. The base station and the UE may communicate the bursts while the SCells are in the active state and may switch the SCells between the active state and the dormant state based on the cell dormancy pattern.
Abstract:
In some aspects, multi-slot transport block (TB) configurations for communicating data between wireless devices, such as between a base station and a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system are described. Some examples of multi-slot configurations enable the communication of large payloads. For example, an application of a wireless device may jointly process data from a large file or other large set of packets. In such examples, the wireless device transmitting the large file may utilize a multi-slot TB including multiple TB segments corresponding to respective slots of a transmission. Similarly, a wireless device receiving the large file may utilize the multi-slot TB configuration for receiving the data.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. According to one or more aspects, a device, such as a user equipment (UE), may receive downlink control information, and may determine assignment information for processing batch-based feedback based on the downlink control information. The UE may determine the batch-based feedback for a batch of downlink transmissions (for example, transmissions associated with packets of information) that are configured to be processed together by the UE. The UE may receive a downlink transmission from the base station, and may construct a codebook based on assignment information and the downlink transmission. In some examples, the UE may determine acknowledgment feedback for the downlink transmission based on the codebook. The UE may transmit the acknowledgment feedback to the base station.
Abstract:
A configuration to allow a base station to be synchronized with an application server to enable the base station to align uplink transmissions of a UE with downlink reception periods of the UE. The base station communicates with a UE using periodic uplink traffic bursts and periodic downlink traffic bursts. The base station selects a time offset to at least one of uplink traffic or downlink traffic to increase an overlap between the uplink traffic bursts and the downlink traffic bursts. The base station sends the time offset to an AF.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for configuring discontinuous reception (DRX) cycles within a DRX time period at a user equipment (UE). DRX configurations may provide that different DRX cycles have non-uniform cycle durations within the DRX time period. Such non-uniform cycle durations may provide DRX ON-durations that are aligned with a periodicity of downlink traffic to the UE in which the downlink traffic may be unaligned with timing boundaries used for wireless communications between the UE and a base station, such as slot boundaries or symbol boundaries.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for traffic burst awareness in wireless systems. An application function, such as via an application server, can determine one or more burst parameters associated with a traffic flow for at least one service. The application function can send the one or more burst parameters to a network. The burst parameters may include a burst factor associated with a minimum bit rate for providing service coverage for the traffic flow and/or a burst spread. A core network and/or access network (AN) entity can obtain the burst parameters and utilize the burst factor for communicating with a user equipment (UE). The CN and/or AN may use the burst parameters for admission control, resource allocation, and/or setting sleep mode parameters.
