Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a throttling indicator for a shared resource associated with a modem at the UE. The UE may determine a configuration of the modem based on a configuration received from a Radio Resource Control layer of the UE. Based on the modem configuration and the throttling indicator, the UE may identify a throttling level to apply to the modem. The UE may adjust the modem configuration for communicating with a base station based on the throttling level in order to reduce resource usage below a usage threshold. By reducing usage of the shared resource by the modem, the UE may have a greater availability of the shared resource to meet the needs of other components of the UE. This may provide an improved user experience at the UE, among other benefits.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) prioritizes searches and/or measurements of neighbor cells/frequencies based on a level of mobility of a UE. In one instance, the UE identifies a priority of a layer of a radio access technology (RAT) to be measured or searched and identifies a level of mobility of the UE. A sensor module of the UE may determine the level of mobility of the UE and generate an indication corresponding to the level of mobility of the UE. The UE prioritizes a periodicity of interlayer search and/or measurement based on the priority of the layer to be measured and the level of the mobility of the UE.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) controls power consumption of the UE based on mobility information and channel conditions experienced by the UE. In one instance, the UE determines its level of mobility based on a Doppler frequency spread of received communications. The UE disables a motion sensor when the level of mobility is above a first threshold. The UE then controls the communications based on the motion sensor and channel conditions experienced by the UE when the level of mobility is below the first threshold.
Abstract:
Various embodiments in the disclosure provide methods implemented by a processor executing on a mobile communication device to dynamically determining whether the power saved by powering down the RF chain between the end of the last reception activities and the beginning of the next reception activities will exceed the power expended to reinitialize the RF chain's components and registers for the next reception activities. Based on this determination, the device processor may configure the RF chain either to power down fully, as in conventional implementations, or to enter a low-power mode in which power is maintained to the power rails supplying the memory registers storing RF communication data, thereby avoiding the power surge of restarting the registers and part of the power drain associated with writing the communication data back into the registers. In some embodiments, the mobile communication device may be a multi-SIM device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be enabled for voice over long term evolution (VoLTE). The UE may include an audio layer to encode and decode voice information and a packet layer to transmit voice packets. The packet layer may store parameters related to a discontinuous reception (DRX) in a shared memory. The audio layer may obtain the DRX parameters and encode voice information based on the parameters. For example, the audio layer coding may be synchronized with the wake period of the DRX cycle. The audio layer may encode voice information during a wake up period of the packet layer DRX cycle, and the packet layer may transmit the voice packets while awake. The audio layer may perform back to back encodings at the beginning of the DRX cycle. The packet layer may extend the wake period to transmit the voice packets.
