Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication at a wireless communication device. A determination may be made regarding the number of receive chains, of a plurality of receive chains, to enable for a channel. Power to the receive chains may be regulated based on the determined number of enabled receive chains. The determination may be based on a transmission scheduling rate for the wireless communication device and a rank for the channel. In some examples, the determination may further be based on a channel quality of the channel and/or a type of traffic scheduled for the channel.
Claims30
A method for wireless communication at a wireless communication device, comprising:
- determining a number of receive chains, of a plurality of receive chains, to enable for a channel, the determining based at least in part on a transmission scheduling rate for the wireless communication device and a rank for the channel;
- and
- regulating power to the plurality of receive chains based at least in part on the determined number of receive chains.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a wireless communication device, comprising:
- means for determining a number of receive chains, of a plurality of receive chains, to enable for a channel, the determining based at least in part on a transmission scheduling rate for the wireless communication device and a rank for the channel;
- and
- means for regulating power to the plurality of receive chains based at least in part on the determined number of receive chains.
An apparatus for wireless communication at a wireless communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory in electronic communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:
- determine a number of receive chains, of a plurality of receive chains, to enable for a channel, the determining based at least in part on a transmission scheduling rate for the wireless communication device and a rank for the channel;
- and
- regulate power to the plurality of receive chains based at least in part on the determined number of receive chains.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
- determine a number of receive chains, of a plurality of receive chains, to enable for a channel, the determining based at least in part on a transmission scheduling rate for the wireless communication device and a rank for the channel;
- and
- regulate power to the plurality of receive chains based at least in part on the determined number of receive chains.
