Abstract: Techniques for prioritizing time critical data for transmission during a power-limited state in DC-HSUPA operation are described. A user equipment (UE) may be in a power-limited state. The UE may identify non-scheduled, time critical data and scheduled data as available for transmission. The UE may detect that a minimum transport block size is about to be selected for a transmission on a secondary uplink carrier. The UE may prioritize the non-scheduled, time critical data over the scheduled data and transmit the non-scheduled, time critical data on a primary uplink carrier based on the prioritizing. The UE also may transmit the scheduled data during a transmission time interval (TTI) that is different from the TTI during which the non-scheduled, time critical data was transmitted. The non-scheduled, time critical data and the scheduled data may be transmitted using transmit diversity.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining features provided by a cell and for indicating a service capability corresponding to the determined features. A user equipment may connect to a cell and determine one or more features provided by the cell. Information relating to the one or more features can be stored in a storage medium. An indicator may be displayed to identify a service capability corresponding to the stored information, as well as a capability of the user equipment.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network includes receiving a power saving request from an application on a wireless device and determining whether the wireless device has data waiting for transmission in response to the received power saving request. The apparatus and method also includes starting a buffer timer when the data waiting for transmission is determined to exist, buffering the power saving request until expiration of the buffer timer, and triggering transmission of a dormancy request to a network component based on whether the data waiting for transmission is determined to exist.

Abstract: The described aspects include a user equipment (UE) apparatus, network component, and corresponding methods of communicating power saving information using common uplink messages. By using a resource update message to communicate power saving information from a UE, the UE need not request and establish resources with the network for requesting a power state that uses less power than a current state. Similarly, in UE mobility, the UE can indicate previous power saving information to a target Node B to cause the target Node B to refrain from assigning resources to the UE.
