Many environments or operational conditions create repetitive radio frequency (RF) interference conditions resulting from repetitive mechanical or electrical activity. This activity may create oscillations in the RF conditions between an MTC UE and a serving base station. Aspects of the present invention are directed to improving data efficiency and battery life by optimizing communication based on a detected periodicity of repetitive mechanical or electrical activity at the UE by monitoring the oscillations of at least one RF condition between the MTC UE and the base station, and scheduling communication between the UE and the network during periods associated with favorable radio conditions.

Scheduling in repetitive RF environments

Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for traffic volume reporting during radio access network (RAN) connection setup. In one aspect, the RAN broadcasts an indicator that it accepts traffic volume measurements (TVM) from access terminals (ATs) and an associated TVM threshold. An AT measures its traffic volume before requesting a connection with the RAN. If the traffic volume is above the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the measured traffic volume from the AT is above the threshold. If the traffic volume is below the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the traffic volume is below the threshold.
