Abstract:
Described herein are apparatuses, systems and methods for adaptive downlink scheduling and link adaptation. The methods including, at a base station connected to a user equipment ("UE"), determining an initial modulation and coding scheme ("MCS") for a plurality of subframes to be transmitted to the UE, wherein each MCS relates to a coding rate value for the subframes, determining an MCS pattern for the plurality of subframes based on the initial MCS, wherein an MCS for one of the subframes has a higher coding rate value than the initial MCS, and transmitting the plurality of subframes to the UE according to the MCS pattern.
Abstract:
Embodiments herein relate to a user equipment device (UE) and associated methods for performing time-division (TD) multiplexing communications. The UE may determine that one or more downlink and/or uplink subframes are potential non-scheduled subframes. The UE may reallocate resources to the determined one or more downlink and/or uplink subframes. The reallocation of resources may comprise powering off a transmitter or receiver of the UE during the determined one or more downlink and/or uplink subframes. The reallocation of resources may also comprise extending a measurement gap to include the determined one or more downlink and/or uplink subframes.
Abstract:
A device, system, and method perform an adaptive link adaptation. The method, at a user equipment (UE) connected to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network via an evolved Node B (eNB), includes determining a type of wireless traffic being utilized by the UE based upon at least one application executed on the UE, the wireless traffic being one of a data only, a voice only, or a combination thereof. The method includes determining a block error rate (BLER) target value to be used in a channel state feedback operation associated with a link adaptation operation for a connection between the UE and the eNB.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing collisions of transmission data for a first subscriber (e.g., a voice subscriber) with transmission data for a second subscriber (e.g., a data subscriber) at a dual sim dual active (DSDA) user equipment (UE) are described herein. A DSDA UE may be configured to implement a modified skipUplinkTxDynamic feature that avoids collisions by buffering transmission data of the data subscriber and sending a (later) scheduling request (SR) for a grant for that data. A DSDA UE may regulate data subscriber transmissions to avoid a transmission duration for the voice subscriber. A DSDA UE may reduce certain transmissions for a voice subscriber (subject to a block error rate (BLER) threshold for the voice subscriber) to lower the probability of collision. A DSDA UE may operate a data subscriber and a voice subscriber in the same cell to avoid collisions due to RF tuning and/or relative slot overlap.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device (UE) may use carrier aggregation to conduct wireless communications according to a first radio access technology (RAT) on a primary component carrier (PCC) and one or more secondary component carriers (SCC (s) ). The UE may allocate power to the PCC for transmission of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) on the PCC, and allocate power to the SCC (s) for transmission of the PUSCH on the SCC (s) such that power to the PCC and the power to the SCC (s) are allocated based on a power measurement associated with the PCC and one or more downlink metrics associated with the PCC. The UE may allocate power to the PCC and the SCC (s) based on a comparison between a specified threshold value and a measurement value indicated by the power measurement, and whether the one or more downlink metrics meet a specified set of criteria.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for a wireless device to determine whether use of a secondary component carrier (SCC) would be preferred in a carrier aggregation scenario, and to take action to encourage or discourage the serving cell to add or release the SCC based on the determination. For example, in some embodiments, when the SCC is preferred, reports of positive performance of serving cells and/or a neighbor cell may be reported, while reports of negative performance of the serving cells may be delayed or suppressed. Inversely, in some embodiments, when the SCC is not preferred, reports of negative performance of the serving cells may be reported, while reports of positive performance of the serving cells and/or the neighbor cell may be delayed or suppressed. In some embodiments, the UE may determine whether the SCC is preferred based on volume of data traffic.
