Optimizing the operation of constrained user devices

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to optimizing the operation of constrained user equipment. The present invention discloses a user equipment (UE) and an associated method that performs a voice call (including exchanging voice packets) with a network, determines an uplink to be performed simultaneously with the voice call link data transfers, and store uplink data transfers in a buffer. A base station and associated method performs a voice call with a UE, determines a downlink data transmission for the UE to be performed concurrently with the voice call, and stores the downlink data transmission in a buffer when the UE is of a predetermined type . UE and associated method associate with a first access point (AP), determine a first performance characteristic of a connection with the first AP, determine a second performance characteristic of a potential connection with a second AP, when the second performance characteristic exceeds The first performance characteristic is declaring a wireless link failure to trigger a handover procedure from the first AP to the second AP.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to optimization of the operation of user equipment (UE). Background technique [0002] As the design of wireless mobile devices, such as user equipment (UE), evolves, there is a trend towards smaller devices and more streamlined housings. Some examples of these smaller devices or more streamlined designs include wearable devices such as watches worn on the wrist or glasses worn in the manner of traditional glasses. Another example is a pendant that can be attached to a strap and hang around the user's neck or wrist. A final example is a clip that can be clipped to an item of clothing such as a pocket or to an accessory such as a handbag or purse. [0003] These smaller and streamlined designs generally result in less available space for the components of the wireless mobile device. For example, the batteries of such devices need to be smaller and thus have correspondingly smaller capacities. As another example, these ...

Therefore, if these smaller mobile devices have a performance penalty, the user experience will be degraded and users will be less likely to accept these new device types
