Abstract:
Aspects of the method and apparatuses relate to performing user equipment (UE) only discontinuous transmission (DTX) smart blanking. One aspect of the method and apparatuses includes maintaining a list of voice configurations that would trigger user equipment (UE) discontinuous transmission (DTX). Further, the aspect includes receiving a current voice configuration for the UE from a network, and determining whether the current voice configuration of the UE received from the network fails within the list of voice configurations that would trigger UB DTX. Further, the aspect includes enabling uplink UE DTX at the UE when the current voice configuration of a UB falls within the list of voice configurations.
