Abstract
Techniques and examples of flexible signaling of capability of use equipment (UE) processing time in wireless communications are described. Accordingly, a UE establishes wireless communication with a network node of a wireless network. The UE also determines whether the UE is capable of operating in a second mode in addition to a first mode. The UE then transmits to the network node a report indicating capability of the UE to operate in the second mode and a condition with respect to a throughput associated with operating in the second mode. The UE performs a task in less time in the second mode than in the first mode.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- establishing, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), wireless communication with a network node of a wireless network;
- determining, by the processor, whether the UE is capable of operating in a second mode in addition to a first mode;
- and
- transmitting, by the processor, to the network node a report indicating capability of the UE to operate in the second mode and a condition with respect to a throughput associated with operating in the second mode,
- wherein the UE performs a task in less time in the second mode than in the first mode, and
- wherein the report further indicates a parameter related to the throughput of the UE in the second mode.
A method, comprising:
- establishing, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), wireless communication with a network node of a wireless network;
- determining, by the processor, whether the UE is capable of operating in a second mode in addition to a first mode;
- transmitting, by the processor, to the network node a report indicating capability of the UE to operate in the second mode and a condition with respect to carrier aggregation (CA) associated with operating in the second mode;
- and
- determining, by the processor, whether a number of configured carriers in a band is less than or equal to a maximum number of configured carriers supported for CA when operating in the second mode indicated in the report,
- wherein the UE performs a task in less time in the second mode than in the first mode.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of wireless communicating with a network node of a wireless network;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor capable of:
- determining whether the apparatus is capable of operating in a second mode in addition to a first mode;
- transmitting, via the transceiver, to the network node a report indicating capability of the apparatus to operate in the second mode and either or both of:
- a condition with respect to a throughput associated with operating in the second mode, and
- a condition with respect to carrier aggregation (CA) associated with operating in the second mode;
- and
- determining whether a number of configured carriers in a band is less than or equal to a maximum number of configured carriers supported for CA when operating in the second mode,
- wherein the apparatus performs a task in less time in the second mode than in the first mode.
