Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure can improve the round trip time delay of reverse link transmissions of an access terminal. The access terminal determines a first traffic-to-pilot power (T2P) ratio after a session negotiation. Then, the access terminal determines a second T2P ratio of a first subpacket of a physical layer packet, wherein the second T2P ratio may be boosted relative to the first T2P ratio. The access terminal transmits the at least one subpacket at the second T2P ratio utilizing a reverse link. Therefore, the physical layer packet may be early terminated, and round trip time delay of the reverse link may be reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for efficiently decoding data received in the form of data packets is provided. The design includes at least one decoding unit (606, 608) configured to receive and decode multiple packet groups, each packet group comprising a plurality of data packets received over at least one wireless transmission channel; a buffer arrangement (610, 612) configured to collect complete and incomplete packet groups received over each wireless transmission channel, and a processor (614) configured to direct data packets from the at least one decoding unit (606, 608) to specific locations in the buffer arrangement (610, 612). The processor further inserts later received data packets into associated packet groups maintained in the buffer arrangement (610, 612) to minimize sequence gaps in the data packets. The design subsequently provides multiple packet groups and any later received data packets from the buffer arrangement (610, 612) to a resequencer (616).
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communication devices and methods configured to operate with multiple communication protocols in tune-away operations. Some aspects of the present disclosure may improve the legacy tune-away operations at an access terminal. An access terminal establishes a call utilizing a first communication protocol, tunes away from the call to receive cell signaling utilizing a second communication protocol, and tunes back to the call utilizing the first communication protocol. Following the tuning back, during a first predetermined number of subframes and if the size of a reverse link (RL) packet is smaller than a first packet size and larger than a second packet size, the access terminal forces the RL packet to be a low latency (LoLat) packet.
