State-driven secondary cell activation and deactivation

A method and system for selectively activating and deactivating secondary cells in a wireless communication system are disclosed. According to one aspect, the invention provides a finite state machine having a plurality of states facilitating secondary cell activation and deactivation decisions. The states of the finite state machine include a deactivated state and an activated state. In the deactivated state, a secondary cell is deactivated and a media access control element, MAC CE, for deactivation is sent to the UE. The base station in the deactivated state is not allocating resources for maintaining transmission on the secondary cell. In the activated state, the secondary cell is active and a MAC CE for activation is sent to the UE. In the activated state, the base station is ready to transmit on the secondary cell.

Incoming call

A user apparatus in an idle mode and prioritizing a radio resource (401) of a cell is configured to, in response to a paging message received over the cell (402) and a subsequent connection request rejection (404) received over the cell to determine whether or not to cease to prioritize (407) the radio resource.

License based traffic management in hybrid networks

Systems and methods for managing traffic in a hybrid environment include monitoring traffic load of a local network to determine whether the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed a maximum traffic load, where the maximum traffic load is a traffic load for which a service can be provided by the local network, based on a license. An excess traffic load is determined if the traffic load exceeds or is likely to exceed the maximum traffic load. One or more external networks which have a capacity to provide the service to the excess traffic load are determined, to which the excess traffic load is migrated. The local network includes one or more service instances for providing the service for up to the maximum traffic load, and the service to the excess traffic load is provided by one or more additional service instances in the one or more external networks.

INACTIVE COMMUNICATION MODE

There are provided measures for enabling/realizing an inactive communication mode, namely an inactive mode for the operation of terminal equipment and network equipment in a communication system. Such measures exemplarily comprise operation in a connected mode, in which a data plane connection and a control plane connection are established between a terminal equipment and a network equipment, transition from the connected mode to an inactive mode upon data plane inactivity, and operation in the inactive mode, in which the data plane connection is released and the control plane connection is maintained between the terminal equipment and the network equipment.

Dormant Mode Measurement Optimization

Methods performed by a wireless device operating in a dormant mode comprise performing a measurement on each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources or demodulating and decoding information from each of a plurality of resources from a predetermined set of resources, such as a set of beams. The methods further include evaluating the measurement or the demodulated and decoded information for each of the plurality of resources against a predetermined criterion, and then discontinuing the performing and evaluating of measurements, or discontinuing the demodulating and decoding and evaluation of information, in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met, such that one or more resources in the predetermined set of resources are neither measured nor demodulated and decoded. The methods further comprise deactivating receiver circuitry, further in response to determining that the predetermined criterion is met.

The present disclosure provides a method of controlling an output power of a terminal during a carrier aggregation operation and an apparatus suitable for the method. During the carrier aggregation operation, the terminal may control the power allocation such that more transmission power is allocated for the primary cell when there exists a bearer established already for a particular service such as the VoLTE service, so as to facilitate high quality services according to a service using situation of the terminal.

ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT OF CASTING REQUESTS AND/OR USER INPUTS AT A RECHARGEABLE DEVICE

Implementations set forth herein relate to management of casting requests and user inputs at a rechargeable device, which provides access to an automated assistant and is capable of rendering data that is cast from a separate device. Casting requests can be handled by the rechargeable device despite a device SoC of the rechargeable device operating in a sleep mode. Furthermore, spoken utterances provided by a user for invoking the automated assistant can also be adaptively managed by the rechargeable device in order mitigate idle power consumption by the device SoC. Such spoken utterances can be initially processed by a digital signal processor (DSP), and, based on one or more features (e.g., voice characteristic, conformity to a particular invocation phrase, etc.) of the spoken utterance, the device SoC can be initialized for an amount of time that is selected based on the features of the spoken utterance.

Power-efficient passive discovery by network devices

Disclosed are techniques to minimize the electricity consumption of battery powered devices during network discovery and other phases of network operation. Example techniques include efficiently listening for other mains powered and battery powered devices within communication range of the battery powered device by, for example, shortening its listening window depending on how close the time reference maintained by the battery powered device is estimated to be to the time reference used by the other mains powered and battery powered devices within communication range. Other techniques include slowing the rate of listening by the battery powered device when the battery powered device is unlikely to be able to receive discovery messages or is already connected to the network. Other techniques include using knowledge of the network to listen for discovery messages on a channel or channels on which other devices are likely to be transmitting.
