Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The apparatus performs LBRM. Before performing LBRM, the apparatus reports a plurality of UE categories to an eNB. In addition, the apparatus determines whether signaling in relation to the UE categories is received from the eNB. In addition, the apparatus selects a UE category from the plurality of UE categories based on the reported UE categories and the signaling in relation to the UE categories. In addition, the apparatus determines a total number of soft channel bits to use for LBRM at the UE based on the selected UE category. Subsequently, the apparatus performs LBRM based on the determined total number of soft channel bits.
Claims28
A method for performing limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- reporting a plurality of UE categories to an evolved Node B (eNB);
- determining whether signaling in relation to the UE categories is received from the eNB;
- selecting a UE category from the plurality of UE categories based on the reported UE categories and said signaling in relation to the UE categories;
- determining a total number of soft channel bits to use for LBRM at the UE based on the selected UE category;
- and
- performing LBRM based on the determined total number of soft channel bits.
An apparatus for performing limited buffer rate matching (LBRM), the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
- report a plurality of UE categories to an evolved Node B (eNB);
- determine whether signaling in relation to the UE categories is received from the eNB;
- select a UE category from the plurality of UE categories based on the reported UE categories and said signaling in relation to the UE categories;
- determine a total number of soft channel bits to use for LBRM at the UE based on the selected UE category;
- and
- perform LBRM based on the determined total number of soft channel bits.
An apparatus for performing limited buffer rate matching (LBRM), the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- means for reporting a plurality of UE categories to an evolved Node B (eNB);
- means for determining whether signaling in relation to the UE categories is received from the eNB;
- means for selecting a UE category from the plurality of UE categories based on the reported UE categories and said signaling in relation to the UE categories;
- means for determining a total number of soft channel bits to use for LBRM at the UE based on the selected UE category;
- and
- means for performing LBRM based on the determined total number of soft channel bits.
A computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for performing limited buffer rate matching (LBRM) by a user equipment (UE), comprising code for:
- reporting a plurality of UE categories to an evolved Node B (eNB);
- determining whether signaling in relation to the UE categories is received from the eNB;
- selecting a UE category from the plurality of UE categories based on the reported UE categories and said signaling in relation to the UE categories;
- determining a total number of soft channel bits to use for LBRM at the UE based on the selected UE category;
- and
- performing LBRM based on the determined total number of soft channel bits.
