  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED USER EQUIPMENT ASSISTANCE INFORMATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20170013557
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for communicating enhanced user equipment (UE) assistance information between nodes in wireless communication systems. The UE achieves power savings and latency requirements more effectively by communicating its preferences, constraints and/or requirements to an evolved Node B (eNodeB) in the form of UE assistance information. The UE assistance information may include, for example, an indication of a preferred set of discontinuous reception (DRX) settings, current data traffic conditions, expected data traffic conditions, power or performance preferences, and/or an indication of the UE's mobility between cells.

  • Compact Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection Structure
    Publication number: 20160372459
    Abstract: A multi-gate Schottky depletion-mode field effect transistor (FET), at least one diode and two resistors comprise a compact electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure. This ESD protection structure can be laid out in a smaller area than typical multiple diode ESD devices. The multi-gate FET may comprise various types of high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) devices, e.g., (pseudomorphic) pHEMT, (metamorphic) mHEMT, induced HEMT. The multiple gates of the Schottky field effect device are used to form an ESD trigger and charge draining paths for protection of circuits following the ESD protection device. Both single and dual polarity ESD protection devices may be provided on an integrated circuit die for protection of input-output circuits thereof.

  • Communication of power consumption configurations during handover
    Patent number: 9515689
    Abstract: Technology for communicating user equipment (UE) power consumption configurations is disclosed. One method can include selecting, at the UE, a Power Preference Indication (PPI) state of a power consumption configuration of the UE. The UE can receive, from a source evolved node B (eNB), instructions to begin a PPI Prohibit Event Interval during a handover from the source eNB to a target eNB, wherein the UE cannot send the PPI state to the source eNB during the PPI Prohibit Event Interval. The UE can send the PPI state to the target eNB after the PPI Prohibit Event Interval ends and handover has either successfully completed or failed from the source eNB to the target eNB.

  • Congestion measurement and reporting for real-time delay-sensitive applications
    Patent number: 9516541
    Abstract: Embodiments describe mechanisms for an eNB, possibly assisted by a UE, to detect and possibly alleviate user plane congestion. In some embodiments, the eNB implements UE assisted packet dropping, where the UE requests the eNB drop packets in a sub-QCI that meet designated criteria, such as exceeding a sub-QCI delay threshold. Other embodiments, detect periods of congestion and send congestion indication to the core network when the congestion period exceeds a threshold or when the user experience is degraded. Some embodiments implement both sets of functionality.

  • Measuring link performance using multiple radio access networks
    Patent number: 9456368
    Abstract: Technology for measuring link performance using multiple radio access networks (RANs) is described. Data packets of a flow can be received, at a mobile node via a first connection with the mobile node with a first RAN. An active measurement can be initiated when a Real-time Traffic Flow Measurement (RTFM) triggering condition occurs. A second connection can be formed with the mobile node with a second RAN. Selected packets of the flow can be received for the active measurement using the first RAN and using the second RAN. An RTFM execution event can be communicated to a virtual access network (VAN) to move the flow from the first RAN to the second RAN when the active measurement of the selected packets is received via the second RAN is greater than a selected threshold value.

  • INTRA-QCI SCHEDULER AND METHOD FOR INTRA-QCI SCHEDULING IN A WIRELESS ACCESS NETWORK
    Publication number: 20160270104
    Abstract: Embodiments of an intra-QCI scheduler and method for assisted intra-QCI scheduling are generally described herein for operating within a wireless access network in which data flows are mapped to bearers using quality-of-service (QoS) class identifiers (QCIs). In some embodiments, the intra-QCI scheduler may classify packets of one or more data flows having a same QCI with a sub-QCI based on intra-QCI classification information received from user equipment (UE). The sub-QCI may indicate a scheduling priority for packets of data flows having the same QCI. The intra-QCI scheduler may schedule packets for downlink transmission over a radio bearer between the eNodeB and the UE based on the sub-QCI. The use of sub-QCIs allows the eNodeB to provide QoS support for data flows of applications that have been mapped to a default bearer.
