Abstract
A method for wireless communication modifies an actual buffer status report value to create a modified buffer status report that is reported to a base station. The modified buffer status report value results in the base station sending fewer uplink grants to a user equipment. The fewer grants result in transmission gaps in a first radio access technology of the user equipment. The user equipment may use those transmission gaps in the first radio access technology to communicate using a second radio access technology.
Claims24
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- creating a modified transmit buffer status value so that fewer uplink grants are received resulting in transmission gaps in a first radio access technology;
- and
- communicating with a second radio access technology during the transmission gaps.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
- to create a modified transmit buffer status value so that fewer uplink grants are received resulting in transmission gaps in a first radio access technology;
- and
- to communicate with a second radio access technology during the transmission gaps.
A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, comprising:
- a computer-readable medium having non-transitory program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to create a modified transmit buffer status value so that fewer uplink grants are received resulting in transmission gaps in a first radio access technology;
- and
- program code to communicate with a second radio access technology during the transmission gaps.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for creating a modified transmit buffer status value so that fewer uplink grants are received resulting in transmission gaps in a first radio access technology;
- and
- means for communicating with a second radio access technology during the transmission gaps.
