In some embodiments, a wireless device (e.g., a cell phone) has a transceiver, a processor, and a memory. The processor store periodic downlink (DL) data received from the transceiver in a periodic DL buffer in the memory, aperiodic DL data received from the transceiver in an aperiodic DL buffer in the memory, periodic uplink (UL) data in a periodic UL buffer in the memory, and aperiodic UL data in an aperiodic UL buffer in the memory. The processor determines in what order to handle the stored data in the periodic and aperiodic DL and UL buffers and handles the stored data in the determined order.

Various embodiments may provide systems and methods for managing transmit (TX) timing of data transmissions. The methods include applying a plurality of radio frequency (RF) channel factors related to data uplink transmissions by the wireless device to a TX timing model configured to provide as an output a TX timing for a data transmission to a base station and a number of carriers for sending the data transmission, and selecting a TX time and a number of carriers for sending a next data transmission to the base station based in part on the TX timing model output.

A method for reducing power consumption of a terminal that communicates with a base station in a mobile communication system using a multi-carrier sturcture composed of a primary component carrier and at least one secondary component carrier comprises: receiving a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter group for multi carriers from the base station; and setting the multi carriers to the same parameter value, by using the received parameter group. The method for reducing power consumption of the terminal further comprises: performing a downlink control channel receive operation on each carrier according to a DRX cycle. As the base station in the mobile communication system using the multi-carrier structure simplifies the DRX process for reducing power consumption of a terminal by reducing signaling load for the multi-carrier control of the terminal, it becomes possible to reduce power consumption of the terminal.

The disclosure describes procedures for allocating network resources for a mobile device communicating within a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The mobile device can be configured to decode a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), acquire first and second physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) decode indicators from a payload of the same PDSCH communication, decode a PDCCH for downlink control information (DCI) associated with a first application data type based on the first PDCCH decode indicator a second application data type based on the second PDCCH decode indicator. The first PDCCH decode indicator can identify an upcoming LTE subframe where the mobile device is required to decode the PDCCH for DCI associated VoLTE resource assignments and the second PDCCH decode indicator can identify an upcoming LTE subframe where the mobile device is required to decode the PDCCH for DCI associated with high bandwidth best effort (BE) data resource assignments.

This disclosure relates to techniques for dynamic selection of connection attempt throttling algorithms based on user context. According to some embodiments, a wireless device may monitor certain current conditions of the UE, such as battery level, user activity level, motion level, and/or other conditions. Depending at least in part on the current conditions of the UE, cellular connection attempt parameters may be selected. In some conditions the cellular connection attempt parameters may be selected such as to allow more aggressive pursuit of cellular connectivity, while in other conditions the cellular connection attempt parameters may be selected such as to allow less aggressive pursuit of cellular connectivity.

An information processing apparatus of this invention directed to a process for adjusting a switching interval which defines an interval between two switching operations that change the activation state of the base band units. The apparatus comprises a traffic history storage unit that stores traffic history data, and a control unit that determines the switching interval based on the traffic history data stored in the traffic history storage.

Systems and methods of adaptive bandwidth (BW) management are provided by a control unit of distribution and central units to monitor power and traffic loads at a plurality of nodes in a network; a BW management unit communicating with the control unit to reassign a set of network slices with a set of smaller bandwidth parts (BWPs); the BW management unit configured to define a smaller BWP from a slice mapping for the slice reassignment during a AC power outage, the slicing mapping includes network slices tied to smaller BWPs in the network; and the BW management unit configured to adapt BW for users at the node by reassigning of at least one network slice with a defined smaller BWP at the node in response to a condition determined by the BW management unit, the condition of at least one of a AC power outage, and reduced traffic load at the node.

An apparatus and method reduce power consumption in a broadband wireless communication system. A transmitting end apparatus that includes a plurality of transmit (Tx) antennas includes a control block, a Processor (DSP) block, a modem block, and at least one power controller. The control block determines a traffic amount based on an amount of used resources. The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) block performs scheduling by using a subset of Tx antennas and a subset of resources on a frequency axis if the traffic amount is less than a threshold. The modem block applies boosting to a signal transmitted using the subset of resources. And at least one controller turns off an operation of at least one power amplifier that corresponds to at least one Tx antenna that is not included in the subset of Tx antennas.

A wire device receives: configuration parameters of: a primary cell with a primary physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and a secondary cell with a secondary PUCCH; a transmit power control (TPC) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI); a primary TPC index of the primary PUCCH; and a secondary TPC index of the secondary PUCCH. The wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) associated with the TPC RNTI. The secondary TPC index identifies a TPC command in an array of TPC commands in the DCI. The wireless device adjusts a transmission power of the secondary PUCCH based on the TPC command.

The embodiments of the present invention provide a method, apparatus for cross-protocol opportunistic routing, an electronic device, and a storage medium, the method includes: when there is a first data packet in a low-power wireless network, simulating the first data packet to generate a second data packet including to-be-transmitted data in the first data packet; obtaining identification information of a destination node in the first data packet, and selecting a low-power node with the lowest delay to the destination node in the low-power wireless network, except the first low-power node, as a forwarding low-power node based on the identification information of the destination node; sending the generated second data packet to the forwarding low-power node, so that the forwarding low-power node forwards the to-be-transmitted data to the destination node. By using high-power nodes, when there is a data packet in the low-power node, the data packet can be sent in time without being transmitted in a reserved idle channel, thereby reducing the transmission delay of the data packet from the source node to the destination node in the low-power wireless network.
