A communication device and method adapted for network data decoding and connection modes switching in a mobile communication system consisting of connecting to a network in a first mode comprising decoding data received from the network; receiving a message from the network; transmitting a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the message to the network; identifying a retransmission of the message from the network; and switching to a second mode comprising skipping data decoding based on the identified retransmission of the message from the network.

Communication device and method for decoding data from a network

While a user equipment (UE) is in a connected mode, the UE may receive only a limited quantity of data. During this phase, a receive diversity configuration may not be enabled, in an effort to conserve power on the UE side. However, in marginal signal conditions and a poor radio environment, downlink performance at the UE side may be enhanced by enabling receive diversity, irrespective of the limited data received by the UE. However, while receive diversity may improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the UE end in marginal signal conditions, the UE may also incur a penalty on power consumption. Therefore, certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for dynamically controlling the receive diversity of a wireless device to improve the downlink procedure performance, while minimizing power consumption due to the usage of a second receive chain when in connected mode.

Method and apparatus for power aware receive diversity control

Methods and apparatus for processing data received at a user equipment comprises determining a protocol data unit (PDU)-specific Layer 1 decoding metric of a Layer 1 decoded PDU. The methods and apparatus further comprises determining whether to perform a Layer 2 decoding of the Layer 1 decoded PDU based on the PDU-specific Layer 1 decoding metric.

Apparatus and methods of processing a protocol data unit

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands in windup mode. In one aspect, the method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a plurality of DLTPC commands from a base station, analyzing on one or more transmitted uplink (UL) TPC commands, detecting a windup mode based on the one or more DLTPC and ULTPC commands, and rejecting one or more DLTPC down commands in the windup mode.

Methods and apparatus for DLTPC rejection in downlink windup mode

The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for expedited mobile device handover that include performing one or more handover tasks in parallel that have previously been performed exclusively in serial. For example, the disclosure presents a method for wireless device handover, which may include acquiring a target cell, ascertaining a system frame number (SFN) of the target cell, calculating a connection frame number (CFN) for a dedicated channel (DCH) transmission, and reconfiguring a dedicated physical channel (DPCH) based on the calculated CFN. In addition, such an example method may include, while performing at least one of the ascertaining of the SFN, the calculating of the CFN, and the reconfiguring of the DPCH, contemporaneously performing at least one of establishing a downlink dedicated physical channel (DL-DPCH), establishing a synchronization with the target cell, and establishing an uplink dedicated physical channel (UL-DPCH) subsequent to the downlink synchronization.

Method and apparatus for expedited wireless device handover

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rejecting unreliable downlink (DL) transmit power control (TPC) commands based on signal-to-interference-ratio estimates (SIRE). The method includes receiving by a user equipment (UE) a DL transmit power control (TPC) command from a base station; calculating a signal-to-interference ratio estimate (SIRE) for the DL channel; determining a scaling factor for a DLTPC rejection threshold based on the DL channel SIRE; adjusting the DLTPC rejection threshold based on the determined scaling factor; and rejecting or accepting the DLTPC command based on the adjusted DLTPC rejection threshold.

Methods and apparatus for sire-based DLTPC rejection

A particular method includes transmitting a message corresponding to a reporting event detected at a mobile device, where the reporting event is associated with a network condition that decreases a likelihood of the mobile device successfully decoding a reply to the message. The method also includes, in response to transmitting the message, increasing a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) target of the mobile device.
