Abstract
Methods and apparatus' of determining radio link quality are disclosed. According to various implementations, a user equipment detects an out-of-synchronization condition corresponding to a first control channel, and monitors a second control channel in response to the detecting the out-of synchronization condition.
Claims20
A method in user equipment, the method comprising:
- detecting an out-of-synchronization condition corresponding to a first control channel;
- in response to the detecting the out-of synchronization condition:
- monitoring of a second control channel, and
- transmitting a distress signal to the network;
- and
- receiving on the second control channel, in response to the transmitting, a response from the network to the reception of the distress signal, and based on the response from the network, at least one of:
- scheduling communication on the second control channel, or reconfiguring the first control channel,
- wherein the first control channel is an Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel and the second control channel is a Physical Downlink Control Channel.
