    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for resuming radio channel measurements and estimations after an interruption in reception. In one exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, an adaptive solution is provided for channel estimation based at least in part on the reception interruption duration. In one variant, an LTE UE determines a windowing length and/or “shape” for a time domain channel estimation algorithm based on at least the interruption duration. In an alternate variant, an LTE UE determines the interpolation coefficients for a filter based on the interruption duration.

    Abstract: Outer loop link adaptation for device resumption. A user equipment (UE) and base station (BS) may be in communication in a first network (e.g., an LTE network). Communication between the UE and the BS may be interrupted, e.g., due to a long fading environment, the UE tuning away to a second network (e.g., a CDMA network). Accordingly, the measured error rate may increase dramatically. After resumption from the interruption, a negative offset may be applied to a reported SINR value from the UE due to the previous increase in error rate. Upon improvement in the error rate, a larger, positive offset adjustment may be added to the negative offset, allowing the estimated SINR to return to reported SINR more quickly. Additionally, the error rate estimation may be adjusted to converge to a more recently measured more quickly by decreasing a feedback filter coefficient.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for estimating baseband power consumption and using the baseband power consumption estimation to select baseband operation features. According to some embodiments, one or more baseband power consumption modifiers occurring during an estimation window may be identified. Baseband power consumption of the wireless device during the estimation window may be estimated based on the identified baseband power consumption modifiers occurring during the estimation window. Baseband data throughput of the wireless device during the estimation window may also be estimated. One or more baseband operation characteristics may be selected based at least in part on the estimated baseband power consumption during the estimation window, possibly in conjunction with the estimated baseband data throughput during the estimation window, current wireless medium conditions, and/or other considerations.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry in a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device establishes a connection via one or more component carriers to a wireless network using wireless circuitry that includes multiple radio frequency receive signal chain. The wireless communication device monitors traffic activity and measures downlink radio frequency receive signal conditions for each component carrier. The wireless communication device reconfigures the wireless circuitry to use a number of RF receive signal chains that matches a maximum supportable modulation and coding scheme (MCS) value for each component carrier to MCS values assigned by the wireless network to the respective component carrier. The wireless communication device reduces the number of RF receive signal chains for a component carrier only when reliable decoding of the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or the physical hybrid automatic repeat request indicator channel (PHICH) can be reliably decoded.
