Method and apparatus for controlling operation of a user equipment based on physical layer parameters

Abstract

Techniques for controlling internal operation of a user equipment (UE) based on physical layer (PHY) parameters of a wireless network are disclosed. The PHY parameters may include a system bandwidth, an uplink-downlink configuration, a number of antennas, a number of carriers, etc. In one design, the UE may receive system information from the wireless network. The UE may obtain at least one PHY parameter of the wireless network, at a physical layer on the UE, based on the system information and/or other signaling. The UE may provide the at least one physical layer parameter to at least one entity (e.g., a memory and flow controller, a clock controller, a thermal mitigator, an application processor, etc.) within the UE for use to control internal operation of the UE.
