Abstract
A method is provided for improving reliability in detection of an identifier for a user agent is provided. The method includes the user agent attempting to decode semi-persistent scheduling activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on-duration.
Claims20
A method for improving reliability in detection of an identifier for a user agent, comprising:
- receiving discontinuous reception cycle information;
- sending a buffer status report;
- and
- attempting to detect semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only after the buffer status report is sent.
A user agent comprising;
- a component configured to attempt to decode semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only after a buffer status report is sent.
A method for improving reliability in signaling an identifier, comprising:
- sending discontinuous reception cycle information;
- receiving a buffer status report;
- and
- transmitting a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only after receipt of the buffer status report.
An access device, comprising:
- a component configured to transmit a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only after receipt of a buffer status report.
A method for improving reliability in detection of an identifier for a user agent, comprising:
- the user agent attempting to decode semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only during a discontinuous reception (DRX) on-duration.
A user agent, comprising:
- a component configured to decode semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel only during a discontinuous reception/transmission (DRX) on-duration.
A method for improving reliability in detection of an identifier for a user agent, comprising:
- the user agent stopping attempting to decode semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel when an uplink SPS resource being used by the user agent is released.
A user agent, comprising:
- a component configured to stop attempting to decode semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) activation/reconfiguration signaling over a physical downlink control channel when an uplink SPS resource being used by the user agent is released.
