Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to instructing, from a layer of a modem processor, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from a network node. The instructing can be performed based on transmitting a signal to the network node and/or receiving signals from the network node, and at a time that allows the host processor to wake up before receiving data from the modem processor for processing.
Claims26
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving a control signal from a network node;
- detecting, via a modem processor, one or more properties of the control signal at a layer of the modem processor, wherein the control signal comprises a control channel indicating resources for receiving a corresponding data signal, and wherein the one or more properties include a transport block size informed based on decoding the control channel;
- instructing, from the layer of the modem processor and based at least on detecting the transport block size informed based on decoding the control channel, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the corresponding data signal received from the network node at a time before the modem processor completes processing of the corresponding data signal;
- and
- sending, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, the data received in the corresponding data signal from the network node to the host processor.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting, via a transceiver, a first signal to a network node;
- receiving a flow identifier from a host processor;
- instructing, from a layer of a modem processor, based on determining that the first signal corresponds to the flow identifier, and based on detecting transmitting of the first signal to the network node, the host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the network node;
- receiving, via the transceiver, a second signal from the network node;
- and
- sending, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, data received in the second signal from the network node to the host processor.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- receive a control signal from a network node;
- detect one or more properties of the control signal at a layer of a modem processor, wherein the control signal comprises a control channel indicating resources for receiving a corresponding data signal, and wherein the one or more properties include a transport block size informed based on decoding the control channel;
- instruct, based at least on detecting the transport block size informed based on decoding the control channel, a host processor to utilize an increased power consumption state for processing data from the corresponding data signal received from the network node at a time before the modem processor completes processing of the corresponding data signal;
- and
- send, subsequent to and based on instructing the host processor to utilize the increased power consumption state, the data received in the corresponding data signal from the network node to the host processor.
