Publication number: 20240137871Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced power saving mode (PSM) for an active time duration of a PSM with extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) configuration in a wireless communication system. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) is configured to enter a deep sleep mode during inactive times of a PSM, and to operate in eDRX mode during the active times of the PSM. Operating in eDRX mode during the active times includes dividing each of the active time durations into at least one eDRX idle period and at least one eDRX paging period. The UE determines whether a set of criteria for implementing a variant of the PSM is met, and when the set of criteria is met, the UE implements the variant of the PSM, which includes powering down the UE to a deep sleep mode at least during eDRX idle periods.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Pravin Singh, Anshita Agrawal, Raghuveer Ramakrishna Srinivas Tarimala, Liangchi Hsu, Hemanth S, Banuprakash Venkatarathnam Uppacharla

Patent number: 11968674Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control message indicating a resource configuration for uplink and downlink transmissions. The UE may determine an uplink buffer threshold for a modem buffer of the UE based on the resource configuration. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a feedback request message requesting that the base station provide feedback for at least one previously transmitted uplink packet based on a comparison of an amount of previously transmitted uplink data and scheduled uplink data stored in the modem buffer relative to the uplink buffer threshold. The UE may receive, based on transmitting the feedback request message, a feedback response message corresponding to a first previously transmitted uplink packet of the at least one previously transmitted uplink packet.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Arnaud Meylan, Sitaramanjaneyulu Kanamarlapudi, Vishal Dalmiya, Kuo-Chun Lee, Shailesh Maheshwari, Vaishakh Rao, Arun Prasanth Balasubramanian, Subashini Krishnamurthy, Leena Zacharias, Sivashankar Sekar, Saket Bathwal, Liangchi Hsu, Raghuveer Ramakrishna Srinivas Tarimala

Patent number: 11963053Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, via a first subscription of the UE, a trigger event for a conditional handover of the UE from a source network entity to a target network entity. The UE may determine, based at least in part on the trigger event, that a target band associated with the target network entity is not compatible with a serving band associated with a second subscription of the UE. The UE may store the trigger event for the conditional handover in a buffer of the UE. The UE may perform an action related to the conditional handover based at least in part on a condition being satisfied. Numerous other aspects are described.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Kuo-Chun Lee, Qingxin Chen, Arvind Vardarajan Santhanam, Reza Shahidi, Mouaffac Ambriss, Liangchi Hsu, Tom Chin

Publication number: 20230319626Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Techniques are described to enable wake-up signal (WUS) error handling at a user equipment (UE). The UE may detect an error pattern when attempting to receive a WUS from a base station based on a configuration for receiving the WUS. For example, the base station may transmit the configuration for receiving the WUS to a set of UEs including the UE. Based on detecting the error pattern, the UE may perform a mitigation operation based on determining the error pattern, such as waking up multiple cells to receive a transmission indicated by the WUS, transmitting a radio link failure indication to the base station, etc. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may transmit multiple WUSs to the UEs, such as a first WUS according to the configuration and a second WUS according to a reconfiguration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Kuo-Chun Lee, Arvind Vardarajan Santhanam, Liangchi Hsu, Peter Pui Lok Ang
