Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatus for dynamically assigning signal paths to multiple subscriptions in a user equipment (UE) that supports dual subscription dual active (DSDA) communications. The dynamic assignment of signal paths provide dynamic implementation of power classes for uplink transmissions based on communication parameters of the networks associated with the dual subscriptions.
Claims27
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining one or more communication parameters associated with one or more of a first subscription associated with a first subscription identity module (SIM) or a second subscription associated with a second SIM, the first subscription enabling wireless communications between the UE and a first network, the second subscription enabling wireless communications between the UE and a second network;
- estimating a transmit power or a power requirement for uplink transmission by the UE based on the one or more communication parameters;
- and
- assigning one of a first signal path or a second signal path to the first subscription based on the estimated transmit power or power requirement, wherein the first signal path is associated with a first hardware configuration supporting a first maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, wherein the second signal path is associated with a second hardware configuration supporting a second maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, and wherein the first maximum transmit power is a higher power than the second maximum transmit power.
1 more element
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- a memory comprising instructions;
- and
- one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
- determine one or more communication parameters associated with one or more of a first subscription associated with a first subscription identity module (SIM) or a second subscription associated with a second SIM, the first subscription enabling wireless communications between the apparatus and a first network, the second subscription enabling wireless communications between the apparatus and a second network;
- estimate a transmit power or a power requirement for uplink transmission by the apparatus based on the one or more communication parameters;
- and
- assign one of a first signal path or a second signal path to the first subscription based on the estimated transmit power or power requirement, wherein the first signal path is associated with a first hardware configuration supporting a first maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, wherein the second signal path is associated with a second hardware configuration supporting a second maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, and wherein the first maximum transmit power is a higher power than the second maximum transmit power.
4 more elements
An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:
- means for determining one or more communication parameters associated with one or more of a first subscription associated with a first subscription identity module (SIM) or a second subscription associated with a second SIM, the first subscription enabling wireless communications between the apparatus and a first network, the second subscription enabling wireless communications between the apparatus and a second network;
- means for estimating a transmit power or a power requirement for uplink transmission by the apparatus based on the one or more communication parameters;
- and
- means for assigning one of a first signal path or a second signal path to the first subscription based on the estimated transmit power or power requirement, wherein the first signal path is associated with a first hardware configuration supporting a first maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, wherein the second signal path is associated with a second hardware configuration supporting a second maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, and wherein the first maximum transmit power is a higher power than the second maximum transmit power.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations comprising:
- determining one or more communication parameters associated with one or more of a first subscription associated with a first subscription identity module (SIM) or a second subscription associated with a second SIM, the first subscription enabling wireless communications between the UE and a first network, the second subscription enabling wireless communications between the UE and a second network;
- estimating a transmit power or a power requirement for uplink transmission by the UE based on the one or more communication parameters;
- and
- assigning one of a first signal path or a second signal path to the first subscription based on the estimated transmit power or power requirement, wherein the first signal path is associated with a first hardware configuration supporting a first maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, wherein the second signal path is associated with a second hardware configuration supporting a second maximum transmit power for uplink transmissions, and wherein the first maximum transmit power is a higher power than the second maximum transmit power.
