Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a method, apparatus, and computer software for wireless communication. In various examples, DTX is enabled for the transmission of voice frames corresponding to a circuit-switched voice call. That is, the voice frames may be transmitted during a portion of a transmission time interval TTI that is less than an entirety of the TTI (for example, during half of the TTI). The transmission may be suspended during a remainder of the TTI following the portion of the TTI.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- transmitting voice frames corresponding to a circuit-switched voice call during a portion of a transmission time interval (TTI) that is less than an entirety of the TTI;
- and
- suspending the transmitting of voice frames during a remainder of the TTI following the portion of the TTI to enable discontinuous transmission (DTX) during the circuit-switched voice call.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon coupled to the at least one processor,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- transmit voice frames corresponding to a circuit-switched voice call during a portion of a transmission time interval (TTI) that is less than an entirety of the TTI;
- and
- suspend the transmission of voice frames during a remainder of the TTI following the portion of the TTI to enable discontinuous transmission (DTX) during the circuit-switched voice call.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for transmitting voice frames corresponding to a circuit-switched voice call during a portion of a transmission time interval (TTI) that is less than an entirety of the TTI;
- and
- means for suspending the transmitting of voice frames during a remainder of the TTI following the portion of the TTI to enable discontinuous transmission (DTX) during the circuit-switched voice call.
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising:
- instructions for causing a computer to transmit voice frames corresponding to a circuit-switched voice call during a portion of the TTI that is less than an entirety of the TTI;
- and
- instructions for causing a computer to suspend the transmitting of voice frames during a remainder of the TTI following the portion of the TTI to enable discontinuous transmission (DTX) during the circuit-switched voice call.
