    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for channel estimation in a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) are disclosed. A representative method includes a wireless communication device receiving multiple frames, each frame including multiple subframes, each subframe including multiple symbols. The wireless communication device determines whether subframes include MBMS data or not. For subframes that include MBMS data, the wireless communication device excludes all or certain symbols of the subframes that include MBMS data from a channel estimation process. The wireless communication device determines whether the subframes include MBMS data based at least in part on a channel impulse response and/or a channel energy response for one or more symbols of the subframes.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention provide apparatuses and methods for adaptive channel state feedback (CSF) estimation techniques. Downlink transmissions can be received at a mobile device. The downlink transmissions can be received after the mobile device has entered a power saving mode of operation. The downlink transmission received can be a discontinuous downlink subframe and can include one or more pilot symbols. A channel variation factor of the transmission channel can be determined based on the received downlink transmission. Based on the amount of variation of the transmission channel, either an earlier-received or a later-received pilot symbol can be used for CSF estimation. Further, either higher or lower weighted filter coefficients can be selected for use in CSF estimation based on the amount of variation of the transmission channel.

    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: A device and method selects an antenna configuration. The method performed at a user equipment includes determining at least one communication functionality that is being used, each communication functionality configured to utilize at least one antenna in a multi-antenna arrangement of the user equipment. The method includes receiving a first indication of whether a cellular communication functionality is being used, the cellular communication functionality configured to utilize at least one antenna in the multi-antenna arrangement. The method includes receiving a second indication of whether a coexistence condition is present. The method includes determining an antenna configuration for the multi-antenna arrangement to be used by the determined communication functionality based upon the determined communication functionality, the first indication, and the second indication. The method includes configuring the multi-antenna arrangement for the determined communication functionality based upon the antenna configuration.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry of a wireless device. The wireless device establishes a connection to a first wireless network using first and second receiving signaling chains. The wireless device obtains a configuration processing delay time for the first wireless network and sends a first channel status report having a rank indicator value of one before starting a tune-away event at a time based on the obtained configuration processing delay time. The wireless device reconfigures at least one of the radio frequency signaling chains to receive signals from a second wireless network during the tune-away event. The wireless device subsequently sends a second channel status report having a rank indicator value greater than one before ending the tune-away event and reconfiguring the at least one of the radio frequency receive signaling chains back to the first wireless network.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing radio measurements during discontinuous reception. In one exemplary embodiment, the distribution of Long Term Evolution (LTE) DRX measurements is staggered or distributed across multiple DRX cycles (which may be contiguous or non-contiguous) so as to reduce the transceiver activity and power consumption. The exemplary UE in one implementation only performs a subset of measurements during each DRX cycle. By staggering or distributing cell measurements over multiple DRX cycles, the UE can improve power consumption, while still conforming to measurement requirements.

    Abstract: QoS based uplink data buffering while TTI bundling is enabled by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. The UE may establish a packet-switched connection with a network via a wireless link. The UE may receive, at a media access control (MAC) layer, an indication to enable TTI bundling. The UE may selectively buffer uplink data at an application layer based on the indication to enable TTI bundling. The uplink data may be buffered selectively based on Quality of Service (QoS) considerations. Uplink transmissions may subsequently be performed using TTI bundling.
