Abstract: In one aspect, a User Equipment (UE) performs Radio Resource Management (RRM) measurements on downlink signals with a first cycle period equal to the UE's Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle period. The RRM measurements cycle period is lengthened when UE detects that a signal quality measurement of the primary cell is greater than the sum of a positive offset and a signal quality measurement of a neighboring cell having the best signal quality among all of UE's neighboring cells. In another aspect, a UE de-multiplexes a paging indication which precedes a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in time and is generated using the same sequence generation formula as that for generating a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) in the SSB. From the de-multiplexed paging indication, the UE detects that it is paged for message reception and wakes up to receive the message in a next data reception period of the UE's DRX cycle.

Abstract: Various examples and schemes pertaining to uplink data compression (UDC) in mobile communications are described. A processor of an apparatus receives a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Session Data Unit (SDU) and performs uplink data compression (UDC) to compress a data portion of the PDCP SDU to generate a UDC packet. The processor also generates a message authentication code with integrity (MAC-I). The processor also ciphers at least a data portion of the UDC packet to provide a ciphered UDC packet. In case the PDCP SDU contains a Service Data Application Protocol (SDAP) header, the processor extracts the SDAP header from the PDCP SDU prior to performing the UDC, and the processor prepends the SDAP header to the ciphered UDC packet. The processor further constructs a PDCP Protocol Data Unit (PDU) by prepending a PDCP header to either the SDAP header or the ciphered UDC packet.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for the RRC message segmentation. In one novel aspect, the UE obtains the size Z of the RRC message and the size limit L of the underlying transmission at layer S of the UE protocol stack, wherein the layer S either the RRC layer, the PDCP layer, or a sublayer between an RRC layer and a PDCP layer. The UE triggers RRC message segmentation upon detecting Z is greater than L. In another embodiment, the layer R of the protocol stack of the UE receives, in order, a sequence of chunks of an RRC message, reassembles of the RRC message, wherein the layer R is selected from a same layer as the layer S and a layer higher than the layer S. In one novel aspect, the size limitation L is either predefined or obtained through network notification or UE inquiry.

Abstract: A method of uplink data compression (UDC) error handling is proposed to handle UDC error and to maintain compression memory synchronization between a transmitter and a receiver. Specifically, UDC checksum operation is proposed to maintain compression memory synchronization between compressor at the transmitter and decompressor at the receiver. The transmitter attaches a checksum to each UDC packet and keeps processed uncompressed data in a compression memory. The receiver decompresses each UDC packet and keeps processed uncompressed data in a compression memory. If the UDC compression memory is unsynchronized and a checksum mismatch is detected, the receiver sends an error indication to the transmitter, which resets its compression memory. The transmitter sends a reset indication to the receiver to reset its compression memory. The UDC compression memory is re-synchronized and UDC is restarted from the beginning.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for TCP bufferbloat resolution. In one novel aspect, the TCP client monitors a TCP throughput, determines a TCP throughput stability based on a changing rate of the TCP throughput, adjusts a RWND size dynamically based on the determined TCP throughput stability, and sends the dynamically adjusted RWND size to the TCP server for flow control. In one embodiment, the TCP throughput is stable if the changing rate of an increase or decrease of the TCP throughput is smaller than a threshold, otherwise, the TCP throughput is unstable. The TCP client decreases the RWND size if the TCP throughput is stable, otherwise the TCP client increases the RWND size. In one embodiment, the increase of the RWND size uses the default RWND size adjustment method and the decrease of the RWND size is further depending on the increasing or decreasing state of the TCP client.

Abstract: A power supply failover system/method providing uninterruptable power to protected load devices (PLD) is disclosed. The system includes a failover switch controller (FSC) with inputs from an AC I/V monitor (AIV), AC cycle counter (ACC), failover switch timer (FST), and overcurrent protection timer (OPT). The FSC utilizes these inputs to control failsafe switching of a bypass phase switch (BPS) and AC phase switch (ACS) to the PLD when power from the APS is determined to be good by the AIV. When power from the APS is determined to be compromised by the AIV, the FPS disables the ACS/BPS and enables a DC switch (DCS) and battery isolation switch (BIS) to connect a DC source to the PLD after a time period determined by the FST. APS/DCS overcurrent protection is limited by OPT intervals allowing a smooth transition between the APS to DCS during power failover/failback.

Abstract: A dual input power supply system/method providing uninterruptable power to a protected load device (PLD) is disclosed. The system includes hybrid switch devices (HSD) comprising semiconductor and relay/contactors that minimize the OPERATE/RELEASE times associated with switchover from a primary power source (PPS) to a secondary power source (SPS). An operate/release controller (ORC) monitors the condition of power provided by the PPS and SPS and determines the optimal transfer time to activate the HSD and switch between the PPS and SPS based on the PLD configuration. Use of the HSD in conjunction with the ORC permits a wide variety of series permutated AC/DC primary (PPS) and secondary (SPS) power sources, EMI snubbers (EMS), bridge rectifier diodes (BRD), AC-DC converters (ADC), and DC-DC converters (DDC) to service the PLD, while simultaneously reducing storage capacitors normally required to cover the OPERATE/RELEASE times associated with traditional PPS/SPS switchover/failover delays.
