Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new technology that allows a device to maintain a connection with a network even when it is using a lot of power. This can help solve issues with transmission power and allow the device to have better coverage, last longer, reduce the risk of overheating, and meet regulations on energy emission.

Problems solved by technology

This asymmetric power balance causes the total network coverage to generally be limited in the uplink direction as compared to the downlink direction.
If the terminal were to continuously transmit at its maximum specified power, it may generate too much heat, which could make the terminal unsafe or at least uncomfortable for a user to handle.
This asymmetric power balance limitation is particularly acute when the terminal involved is in a limited output power scenario that further limits terminal power.

Embodiment Construction

[0039]Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. It will be understood that the figures are not necessarily to scale.

[0040]FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of a wireless telecommunications network 10. The network 10 includes a radio access network (RAN) 12. FIG. 1 illustrates the RAN 12 as an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN), the RAN associated with LTE, as an example. However, the RAN 12 may also be any RAN other than EUTRAN including RAN that are currently deployed as well as RAN that are currently in development or that will be developed in the future. The network 10 includes a core network 19, which includes the parts of the telecommunications network 10 that provide the various services to customers who are connected by the RAN 12.

[0041]The RAN 12 includes terminals 14a-b. The terminals 14a-b are what in LTE is referred to as user...

Abstract

A method for terminal requested base station controlled terminal transmission throttling includes determining whether terminal power consumption is to be reduced, if the terminal power consumption is to be reduced, transmitting a throttling request signal to the base station, the throttling request signal including data indicating to the base station to issue a discontinuous uplink transmission grant to the terminal, and receiving from the base station a discontinuous uplink transmission grant.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The technology of the present disclosure relates generally to portable electronic devices and transmission equipment operable in a wireless communication network and more particularly to systems and methods for terminal requested base station controlled terminal transmission throttling.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0002]Portable electronic devices that operate in a cellular network, such as mobile telephones and smartphones, tablet computers, cellular-connected laptop computers, and similar devices are ever increasing in popularity. In a typical wireless telecommunication network, terminals (also known as mobile stations and / or user equipment (UE)) communicate via a radio access network (RAN) to one or more core networks. The RAN covers a geographical area which is divided into cell areas, with each cell area being served by a base station, e.g., a radio base station (RBS), which in some networks may also be called, for example, NodeB in UMTS o...
