  • Publication number: 20220225080
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for signaling a message regarding UE receiver performance degradation between a user equipment and a network. Close UL/DL frequencies or harmonic relationships may cause MSD. A user equipment may indicate an actual or improved maximum sensitivity degradation value for a configuration, or that there is no maximum sensitivity degradation for a configuration, using capability transfer signaling, RRC reconfiguration signaling, and/or measurement reporting. The indicated maximum sensitivity degradation for a configuration may be found in a table. The user equipment may additionally signal information about configuration(s) it supports and/or measurements it has made related to cross band transmit-to-receive degradation and/or SINR. A UE may implicitly indicate a MSD value through selection of a bandwidth combination set. MSD may be used by the network to assist in making cheduling decisions.

  • Patent number: 9439103
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for modem coordination. A method may include establishing a coordinated communication session with a base station on a first communication channel. The method may further include causing transmission, to the base station, of an indication of an occurrence of an irregular transmission of data on a second communication channel. The second communication channel may be with a station logically separated from the base station. The base station maybe configured to respond to the indication of the occurrence of the irregular transmission by modifying transmission on the first communication channel to avoid interfering with the irregular transmission. The method may additionally include causing transmission, to the base station, of an indication of completion of the irregular transmission to allow the base station to resume normal transmission on the first communication channel. Corresponding apparatuses and systems are also provided.
