Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for defending against false semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation detection and/or missed SPS release. According to certain aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect one or more conditions for a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation or release are met based on a downlink transmission, generate one or more metrics related to downlink transmission, and determine a valid SPS activation or release has occurred if the one or more metrics satisfy one or more criteria. According to certain aspects, a UE may determine a valid semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation has occurred, detect a number of PDSCH CRC failures, and implicitly declare an SPS release based on the detection.

Defense against false detection of semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation or release

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reporting after resumption of Long Term Evolution (LTE) after a temporary suspension. In certain aspects, in order to minimize performance penalty to LTE on resumption after an LTE tune away for example to service a different Radio Access Technology, information available from before the LTE tune away may be used in addition to one or more additional parameters for determining how to perform LTE CQI calculation/update after tuning back to LTE. In certain aspects, a decision regarding whether a User Equipment (UE) reports a CQI based on channel conditions before the LTE tune away or reports a CQI based on channel conditions after tuning back to LTE may be based on a value of the Doppler estimate, a time duration of the LTE tune away, or a combination thereof.

A method and apparatus for determining available downlink bandwidth are described. The described aspects may include estimating an available link capacity of a cell for a user equipment. The described aspects may include estimating an available fraction of cell resources for the user equipment. The described aspects may include estimating available bandwidth of the cell for the user equipment as a function of the estimated available link capacity and the estimated available fraction of cell resources. Available bandwidth may be estimated for a cell in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system when the user equipment is in an idle mode and/or a connected mode. Available bandwidth may be estimated for a cell in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system when the user equipment is in an idle mode and/or a connected mode.
