  • Patent number: 9521562
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. A first device, such as a user equipment (UE) may be configured with a peak data rate that corresponds to the radio frequency (RF) capacity of a modem and a sustained data rate that corresponds to the baseband capacity. The first device may receive a set of data blocks during a transmission burst from a second device. The quantity of data blocks in the burst may be based on the peak data rate. The first device may store time domain samples or frequency tones for the data and then power down the RF components for an interval based on how long it will take to process the data. The first device may then process the data at the sustained data rate. After the rest interval, the first device may power up the RF components and receive another burst of data.

  • Patent number: 9438284
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed for implementing joint non-linear interference cancellation (NLIC) in communication receivers with multiple receiver antennas to cancel or mitigate self-jamming interference from the same aggressor transmitter. A victim receiver may exploit the correlated nature of the interference signals received by the multiple receiver antennas to reduce the computational complexity of an NLIC scheme and improve performance. The victim receiver may select an Rx antenna/Rx chain that experiences the strongest interference from the aggressor transmitter and may perform a full NLIC operation using Tx data from the aggressor transmitter to estimate the strongest interference signal. The NLIC operation may estimate each remaining interference signal by applying a complex coefficient from a single-tap adaptive filter to the estimate of the strongest interference signal.

  • Publication number: 20160150474
    Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure provide for methods, apparatus, and computer software for low-power synchronization of wireless communication devices. In one example, an asynchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) channel may be utilized for uplink communication. By utilizing asynchronous CDMA on the uplink, synchronization requirements are relaxed relative to other forms of communication. Accordingly, a synchronization period after coming out of a sleep state can be short, reducing power consumption during re-synchronization. In another example, a low-power companion receiver, rather than the full-power WWAN receiver, may be utilized to acquire a sync signal while the device is in its sleep state. Once synchronism is achieved via the low-power companion receiver, the full-power radio may power up and perform communication with the network. By shifting the synchronization from the full-power radio to the low-power companion radio, power consumption during re-synchronization can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20160128128
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques and apparatus for efficient support of connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) by using a wireless device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) with a second receiver. A wireless device with two receivers may place one receiver in a low power mode and take the receiver out of the low power mode in response to a signal received from a serving base station (BS) of the wireless device. A BS may direct a wireless device to enter a low power DRX (LP-DRX) mode or enhanced DRX mode having longer low power cycles than a non-enhanced DRX mode, and the wireless device may place a primary receiver in a low power mode in response to the directive from the BS. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20160127991
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-program products for performing dynamic bandwidth switching between control signals and data signals of differing bandwidths are disclosed. Frame formats are disclosed in which control signals are transmitted at different bandwidths than data signals. Receiver architectures for receiving the signaling formats are disclosed. A receiver can receive a relatively narrowband control signal while consuming a relatively low power and then dynamically adjust characteristics of various components to receive a data signal at a higher bandwidth while consuming a relatively higher power.
