In one embodiment a method includes determining, by an eNodeB, if Transmit Time Intervals (TTI) bundling is configured for a User Equipment (UE); and when TTI bundling is not configured, then sending an Access Network Bitrate Recommendation (ANBR) Medium Access Control (MAC) SE for VoLTE CODEC decrease.

Abstract: A method, computer readable media and a system for determining a Voice over LTE (VOLTE) codec is presented. In one embodiment a method includes discovering a packet header size used in a session using a Silence Insertion Descriptor (SID); inspecting downlink packet sizes coming into a receive buffer; determining when three consecutive packet sizes are greater than zero, then setting a first factor, a second factor, and a third factor equal to zero; calculating a header size; and determining a voice encoding codec by subtracting a header overhead value from the packet size.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for an adaptive Transmit Time Interval (TTI) Bundling Configuration using a measurement gap. In one embodiment the method includes scheduling allocation of a TTI bundle wherein pat of the TTI bundle overlaps a measurement gap; transmitting, by a User Equipment (UE), only a part of the scheduled TTI bundle; and scheduling other UEs to use the resources not used by the scheduled TTI bundle.

Abstract: In a first embodiment, a method for determining a dynamic RACH response backoff indicator is disclosed, comprising: estimating a load on the PRACH, based on a number of preambles detected for each PRACH slot, noise floor level, and other Phy features; and using this as an input to perform dynamic backoff indicator selection. In a second embodiment, a method for determining dynamic RACH response backoff indicator is disclosed, comprising: determining, by using the information provided by the connected UEs, how much effort was required to connect with an eNB; and deciding, by a dynamic core allocation, if a zero backoff indicator can be used or a non-zero backoff indicator value is needed to be used.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for enhancing downlink link adaptation (DLLA) for spectral efficiency maximization, comprising: providing an outer loop link adaptation (OLLA) routine with a first path for a first transmission mode and a second path for a second transmission mode; modifying, upon receiving a retransmit message for a first transmission with the first transmission mode, a first offset coefficient; modifying, upon receiving a second retransmit message for a second transmission with the second transmission mode, a second offset coefficient; and calculating a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) offset for the first transmission based on the first offset coefficient.
