Embodiment Construction
[0020] As noted above, in some scenarios, the UE may be expected to continue decoding the acknowledgment channel even after the UE has received an acknowledgment (ACK) that the base station successfully received the UL transmission. This continued decoding may be desirable for a number of reasons. For example, in the event that a positive ACK is actually received in error (eg, due to a NACK-to-ACK transition during transmission), this continued decoding may allow the UE to detect subsequent NACKs, thereby allowing the UE to retransmit and avoid UL packet loss. As another example, continuing to decode may allow ACKs to be used to suspend retransmissions even if the base station did not successfully receive the UL transmission.
[0021] Unfortunately, this continued decoding of the acknowledgment channel can greatly limit the amount of time the UE can stay in the low power state. In other words, the UE has to exit the low power state prematurely in order to decode the acknowled...
