Patent number: 11304198Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described Generally, the described techniques provide for dynamically adjusting PDCP data splitting based on traffic parameters. In some examples, a wireless device may allocate data between first and second radio access technologies. The wireless device may receive a first set of data traffic parameters from a medium access control layer at the wireless device, where the data traffic parameters are associated with the first radio access technology. The wireless device may receive a second set of data traffic parameters from a medium access control layer at a second wireless device, where the data traffic parameters are associated with the second radio access technology. The wireless device may adjust the data allocation to the first and second radio access technologies based on receiving the first and second sets of data traffic parameters.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Alvin Siu-Chung Ng, Long Duan, Ming Yang, Mukesh Kumar Mittal, Rajasekar Arulprakasam, Chun Chung Patrick Chan, Abhijeet Prasad, Neelakanta Venkata Seshachalam Chimmapudi

Patent number: 11115990Abstract: Wireless communication techniques that include autonomous beam selection performed by a mobile device are discussed. A mobile device may receive a first SSB on a current-serving reception beam and receive other SSBs on different reception beams. The mobile device may autonomously switch beams during communication without instruction from another device. A UE can adjust from one beam to another while performing wireless communication using a current-serving reception beam to performing wireless communication using a second reception beam. A switch can occur upon determining that the quality of wireless communication performed using the second reception beam on which a second SSB was received is higher than the quality of wireless communication performed using the current-serving reception beam on which the first SSB was received. Other features are also described.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sejoe Thomas, Abhijeet Prasad, Neelakanta Venkata Seshachalam Chimmapudi, Alvin Siu-Chung Ng

Publication number: 20200322904Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine, based on a tracking area update (TAU) accept message that a tracking area is out of synchronization. In some aspects, the wireless communication device may trigger, after expiration of a timer, a TAU procedure based on determining that the tracking area is out of synchronization. Numerous other aspects are provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2016Publication date: October 8, 2020Applicant: Qualcomm IncorporatedInventors: Liying HOU, Yinming LIANG, Alvin Siu-Chung NG

Publication number: 20170164324Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus optimizing the performance of a radio access technology, such as LTE, in a single radio wireless communication system supporting multiple radio access technologies, such as both LTE and 1x CDMA. The methods and apparatus effectuate this optimization in a single radio LTE (SRLTE) device, for example, through increasing system parameters, such as Slot Cycle Index (SCI) related to a maximum allowed periodicity of when a wireless device tune away from a LTE data call to monitor paging from 1x CDMA. Increasing the SCI value in the wireless device reduces the periodicity of 1x CDMA paging tune away from an LTE data call, thereby optimizing the LTE performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Alvin Siu-Chung Ng, Chun Chung Patrick Chan, Tsun Sang Cheong, Tak Wai Wu

Patent number: 9538421Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a first device. The first device operates a ROHC compressor in a first state at a ROHC sublayer to compress a first packet to be transmitted to a second device. The first packet includes information for a ROHC decompressor to establish a ROHC context. The information enables the ROHC decompressor to decompress a second packet compressed by the ROHC compressor when operating in a second state. The first device determines, at a sublayer or a layer lower than the ROHC sublayer, whether the first packet has been successfully received at the second device. The first device continues operating the ROHC compressor in the first state in response to a determination that the first packet has not been successfully received at the second device.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Chun Chung Patrick Chan, Tsun Sang Cheong, Alvin Siu-Chung Ng, Tak Wai Wu

Publication number: 20160278105Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for reducing a call setup time in wireless communication systems, particularly for systems employing SVLTE where an LTE network is used for data and a 1×CDMA network for voice. The methods and apparatus feature the capability during mobile terminated (MT) calls to modify a normal mode of operation of a predefined operation in a mobile terminal (e.g., call switched fallback (CSFB)), wherein processes normally performed for between a first network (e.g., LTE) are not performed in the mobile terminal, allowing a page response message to be sent directly, and thus sooner, to the other network (e.g., 1×CDMA) in response to an MT call page. This hybrid operation allowing the skipping of normal processes reduces the time for call set up.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2015Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Alvin Siu-Chung Ng, Chun Chung Patrick Chan, Tsun Sang Cheong, Tak Wai Wu
