Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus is a UE. The UE transmits data packets. The UE determines to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets. The UE determines whether the data packets include known or potential real-time data packets. The UE refrains from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets.
Claims37
A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- transmitting data packets;
- determining to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets based at least on a capacity of a processor associated with the UE;
- receiving through radio resource (RRC) signaling a configuration for semi-persistent scheduling including an indication of an interval at which radio resources are periodically assigned;
- determining whether the data packets include non-real time data packets or known/potential real-time data packets based at least on a comparison of the interval with a threshold time value;
- and
- refraining from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets,
- wherein the data packets are determined to include known/potential real-time data packets when the interval is less than the threshold time value.
A user equipment (UE) apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for transmitting data packets;
- means for determining to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets based at least on a capacity of a processor associated with the UE apparatus;
- means for receiving through radio resource control (RRC) signaling a configuration for semi-persistent scheduling including an indication of an interval at which radio resources are periodically assigned;
- means for determining whether the data packets include non-real-time data packets or known/potential real-time data packets based at least on a comparison of the interval with a threshold time value;
- and
- means for refraining from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets,
- wherein the data packets are determined to include known/potential real-time data packets when the interval is less than the threshold time value.
A user equipment (UE) apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a processing system configured to:
- transmit data packets;
- determine to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets based at least on a capacity of a processor associated with the UE apparatus;
- receive through radio resource control (RRC) signaling a configuration for semi-persistent scheduling including an indication of an interval at which radio resources are periodically assigned;
- determine whether the data packets include non-real-time data packets or known/potential real-time data packets based at least on a comparison of the interval with a threshold time value;
- and
- refrain from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets,
- wherein the data packets are determined to include known/potential real-time data packets when the interval is less than the threshold time value.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium in a user equipment (UE) comprising code that when executed on at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:
- transmit data packets;
- determine to implement a flow control to reduce a transmission rate of the data packets based at least on a capacity of a processor associated with the UE apparatus;
- receive through radio resource control (RRC) signaling a configuration for semi-persistent scheduling including an indication of an interval at which radio resources are periodically assigned;
- determine whether the data packets include non-real-time data packets or known/potential real-time data packets based at least on a comparison of the interval with a threshold time value;
- and
- refrain from implementing the flow control to reduce the transmission rate of the known/potential real-time data packets when the data packets include known/potential real-time data packets,
- wherein the data packets are determined to include known/potential real-time data packets when the interval is less than the threshold time value.
