[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 706,565, filed August 25, 2020, entitled “TECHNIQUES FOR OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC VOLUME MEASUREMENT REPORTING,” and U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application No. 17 / 444,110, filed July 30, 2021, entitled “TECHNIQUES FOR OPTIMIZED TRAFFIC VOLUME MEASUREMENT REPORTING,” which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] In summary, various aspects of this disclosure relate to wireless communication and to technologies and apparatus for optimizing traffic volume reporting. Background Technology

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunications services such as telephone, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems employ multiple access technologies that enable communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple access technologies include Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) systems, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) systems, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) systems, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) systems, Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / Improved LTE is an enhanced set of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard released by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include multiple base stations (BSs) capable of supporting communication for multiple user equipments (UEs). UEs can communicate with the BS via downlinks and uplinks. A downlink (or forward link) refers to the communication link from the BS to the UE, while an uplink (or reverse link) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, gNB, Access Point (AP), Radio Headend, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), New Radio (NR) BS, 5G Node B, etc.

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunications standards to provide a common protocol that enables different user equipment to communicate at the city, country, region, and even global levels. NR (which can also be referred to as 5G) is an enhancement set of the LTE mobile standard released by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving service, utilizing new spectrum, and using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) with Cyclic Prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL) and CP-OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as Discrete Fourier Transform Spread Spectrum OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), thereby better supporting mobile broadband internet access, as well as beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technologies, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to grow, further improvements to LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In some aspects, a method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes: compressing data of an uncompressed size associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size; transmitting a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold; and transmitting the compressed data at the compressed size.

[0008] In some aspects, a UE for wireless communication includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory, configured to: compress data of uncompressed size associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size; transmit a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold; and transmit the compressed data at the compressed size.

[0009] In some aspects, a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication includes one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, cause the UE to: compress data of an uncompressed size associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size; send a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold; and send the compressed data at the compressed size.

[0010] In some aspects, an apparatus for wireless communication includes: a unit for compressing uncompressed data associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size; a unit for transmitting a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold; and a unit for transmitting the compressed data at the compressed size.

[0011] In general, the aspects include methods, apparatus, systems, computer program products, non-transitory computer-readable media, user equipment, base stations, wireless communication equipment and / or processing systems as fully described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings and description and as shown by the accompanying drawings and description.

[0020] The various aspects of this disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any particular structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein, those skilled in the art will understand that the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or in combination with any other aspect of this disclosure. For example, an apparatus or a method may be implemented using any number of the aspects set forth herein. Furthermore, the scope of this disclosure is intended to cover such apparatuses or methods implemented using structures, functions, or structures and functions other than or different from the aspects of this disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of this disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0021] Several aspects of a telecommunications system will now be described with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in detail below and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, through various frames, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Whether such an element is implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the entire system.

[0022] It should be noted that while this document may use terms commonly associated with 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT) to describe aspects, aspects of this disclosure may be applied to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT and / or RATs after 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0023] Figure 1This is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to this disclosure. Wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network, as well as other examples. Wireless network 100 may include multiple base stations 110 (shown as BS110a, BS110b, BS110c, and BS110d) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with a user equipment (UE) and may also be referred to as an NR BS, Node B, gNB, 5G Node B (NB), access point, Transmit / Receive Point (TRP), etc. Each BS can provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In 3GPP, the term "cell" may refer to the coverage area of ​​a BS and / or the BS subsystem serving that coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0024] A BS can provide communication coverage for macrocells, picocells, femtocells, and / or another type of cell. A macrocell can cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A picocell can cover a relatively small geographic area and can allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions. A femtocell can cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a residential area) and can allow restricted access by UEs associated with that femtocell (e.g., UEs in a Closed User Group (CSG)). A BS used for macrocells can be referred to as a macro BS. A BS used for picocells can be referred to as a pico BS. A BS used for femtocells can be referred to as a femtocell BS or a home BS. Figure 1 In the examples shown, BS110a can be a macro BS for macro cell 102a, BS110b can be a pico BS for pico cell 102b, and BS110c can be a femto BS for femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or more (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” are used interchangeably herein.

[0025] In some respects, the cell may not be stationary, and the geographical area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile BS. In some respects, BSs may be interconnected with each other and / or with one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network via various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0026] The wireless network 100 may also include a relay station. A relay station is an entity that can receive data transmissions from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and transmit the data transmissions to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE capable of relaying transmissions for other UEs. Figure 1 In the example shown, the relay BS110d can communicate with the macro BS110a and UE 120d to facilitate communication between BS110a and UE 120d. The relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, repeater, etc.

[0027] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network comprising different types of Base Stations (BSs) such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different effects on interference in wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs can have high transmit power levels (e.g., 5 to 40 watts), while pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 watts).

[0028] Network controller 130 can be coupled to a group of base stations (BSs) and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can communicate with the BSs via backhaul. BSs can also communicate with each other directly or indirectly, for example, via wireless or wired backhaul.

[0029] UE 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) may be distributed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. UE may also be referred to as an access terminal, terminal, mobile station, user unit, station, etc. UE may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smartphone), personal digital assistant (PDA), wireless modem, wireless communication device, handheld device, laptop computer, cordless phone, wireless local loop (WLL) station, tablet device, camera, gaming device, netbook, smartbook, ultrabook, medical device or apparatus, biometric sensor / device, wearable device (smartwatch, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet, etc.)), entertainment device (e.g., music or video device, or satellite radio unit, etc.), vehicle component or sensor, smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, GPS device, or any other suitable device configured to communicate via wireless or wired media.

[0030] Some UEs can be considered Machine-Type Communication (MTC) or Evolved or Enhanced Machine-Type Communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, instruments, monitors, and / or location tags, which can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Wireless nodes can provide connectivity to or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as the Internet or cellular networks) via wired or wireless communication links, for example. Some UEs can be considered Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) devices. Some UEs can be considered Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 can be included within a housing that houses the components of UE 120, such as processor components and / or memory components. In some aspects, the processor components and memory components can be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and memory components (e.g., memory) can be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0031] Typically, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographical area. Each wireless network can support a specific RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographical area to avoid interference between wireless networks using different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0032] In some respects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary for communication with each other). For example, UE 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, device-to-device (D2D) communication, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols (e.g., which may include vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocols or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols) and / or mesh networks. In this case, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0033] Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an operating band with a first frequency range (FR1) (spanning from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz), and / or may communicate using an operating band with a second frequency range (FR2) (spanning from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz). Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as intermediate frequencies (IFs). Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is generally referred to as the “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is generally referred to as the “millimeter wave” band, although it is different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) designated as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Therefore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it should be understood that the terms “sub-6 GHz”, etc. (if used herein), can broadly refer to frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless otherwise explicitly stated, it should be understood that the terms “millimeter wave” and the like (if used herein) can broadly refer to frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or intermediate frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is anticipated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0034] As pointed out above, Figure 1 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 1 The example described.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating an example of communication between a base station 110 and a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234a to 234t, and the UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252a to 252r, wherein generally, T ≥ 1 and R ≥ 1.

[0036] At base station 110, transmit processor 220 can receive data for one or more UEs from data source 212, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQI) received from each UE, process (e.g., code and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS selected for each UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., semi-static resource allocation information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper-layer signaling), and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS) or demodulation reference signals (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., primary synchronization signal (PSS) or secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding, if applicable) on data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a to 232t. Each modulator 232 can (e.g., for OFDM) process its corresponding output symbol stream to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and up-convert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The T downlink signals from modulators 232a to 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a to 234t respectively.

[0037] At UE 120, antennas 252a to 252r can receive downlink signals from base station 110 and / or other base stations, and can provide the received signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254a to 254r respectively. Each demodulator 254 can adjust (e.g., filter, amplify, down-convert, and digitize) the received signal to obtain an input sample. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input sample (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain a received symbol. MIMO detector 256 can obtain the received symbols from all R demodulators 254a to 254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols (if applicable), and provide the detected symbols. Receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE 120 to data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor can determine the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) parameter, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) parameter, Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or CQI parameter, as well as other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0038] Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294, controller / processor 290, and memory 292. Network controller 130 may include one or more devices, such as those in a core network. Network controller 130 may communicate with base station 110 via communication unit 294.

[0039] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within the following: one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays, and other examples. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include coplanar antenna element sets and / or non-coplanar antenna element sets. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements within a single housing and / or multiple antenna elements within housings. Antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays may include antenna elements coupled to one or more transmitting and / or receiving components (such as...) Figure 2 One or more antenna elements (one or more components).

[0040] On the uplink, at UE 120, the transmitting processor 264 can receive and process data from data source 262 and control information from controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reporting RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmitting processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. Symbols from the transmitting processor 264 can be pre-encoded (if applicable) by TX MIMO processor 266, further processed by modulators (MODs) 254a to 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of UE 120 can be included in the modem of UE 120. In some aspects, UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 252, modulator and / or demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receiver processor 258, transmitter processor 264 and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0041] At base station 110, uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antenna 234, processed by demodulator (DEMOD) 232, detected by MIMO detector 236 (if applicable), and further processed by receiver processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by UE 120. Receiver processor 238 can provide decoded data to data sink 239 and decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 may include communication unit 244 and communicate with network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 may include scheduler 246 to schedule UE 120 for downlink and / or uplink communication. In some aspects, the modulator and demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 232) of base station 110 may be included in the modem of base station 110. In some aspects, base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modulator and / or demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receiver processor 238, transmitter processor 220 and / or TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 240) and memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein.

[0042] The controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120 and / or Figure 2Any other components may perform one or more techniques associated with optimized traffic reporting, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of base station 110, the controller / processor 280 of UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component can perform or direct, for example Figure 5 The operation of process 500 and / or other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and 282 may store data and program code for base station 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, translation, and / or interpretation), may cause one or more processors, UE 120, and / or base station 110 to perform or instruct, for example... Figure 5 The operation of process 500 and / or other processes as described herein. In some aspects, the execution instructions may include run instructions, translation instructions, compilation instructions, and / or interpretation instructions.

[0043] In some aspects, UE 120 may include: a unit for compressing uncompressed data associated with an uplink transmission to a compressed size; a unit for sending a message at least in part based on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission satisfying a threshold; a unit for sending the compressed data at the compressed size; and so on. In some aspects, such a unit may include a combination of Figure 2 One or more components of the described UE 120, such as controller / processor 280, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, etc.

[0044] As pointed out above, Figure 2 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 2 The example described.

[0045] Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a compression architecture according to this disclosure.

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, the compression architecture includes a transmitting (or compressor) device and a receiving (or decompressor) device. In some cases, when compression is implemented on the downlink, the compressor device can be a base station, and the decompressor device can be a UE. In some cases, when compression is implemented on the uplink, the compressor device can be a UE, and the decompressor device can be a base station. In some cases, when compression is implemented on the sidelink, the compressor device can be a UE, and the decompressor device can be another UE. In some cases, when compression is implemented on the backhaul, the compressor device can be a base station, and the decompressor device can be another base station.

[0047] As in Figure 3 As shown by reference numeral 310 in the accompanying drawings, the compressor device can perform compression on packets to be sent to the decompressor device. For example, as shown, the compressor device can obtain data blocks to be sent from the transmission buffer and add sequence numbers to the data blocks to form Ethernet packets, Internet Protocol (IP) packets, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) packets, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets, Real-Time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets, or another type of packet to be sent.

[0048] The compressor device can then perform compression to reduce packet size. In some aspects, the compressor device can perform header compression to remove headers from the packet (e.g., Ethernet headers, IP headers, TCP headers, UDP headers, RTP headers, or another type of header) and append a compressed subheading including a context identifier. In some aspects, the compressor can perform uplink data compression (UDC) or another type of data compression to reduce packet size. The compressor device can perform compression at least in part based on compression protocols or compression techniques such as Robust Header Compression (RoHC), Ethernet Header Compression (EHC), UDC, memory-based compression, pattern-matching-based compression, etc.

[0049] In some cases, if a packet is associated with a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) Service Data Unit (SDU), the packet may be protected with integrity and / or encrypted. After applying integrity protection and / or encryption, and / or if the packet is not associated with a PDCP SDU, the compressor device may add a PDCP header to form a Protocol Data Unit (PDU). The compressor device can then transmit the PDU with the compressed header to the decompressor device via a radio interface (e.g., Uu interface, PC5 interface, etc.).

[0050] like Figure 3As further shown, the decompressor device can receive a PDU from the compressor device via a radio interface and remove the PDCP header from the PDU. When a packet is associated with a PDCP SDU, the decompressor device can perform decryption and integrity verification on the packet, and if the packet is successfully decrypted and passes integrity verification, it can be stored in a receive buffer, where incoming packets can be reordered (e.g., based on sequence number), duplicate packets can be discarded, and so on. As shown by reference numeral 320, the decompressor device can perform header decompression on packets in the receive buffer and / or packets not associated with a PDCP SDU. For example, the decompressor device can obtain a context identifier (e.g., a RoHC context identifier or another type of context identifier) ​​from the packet and match the context identifier with information contained in the complete header associated with the previous packet.

[0051] As pointed out above, Figure 3 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 3 The example described.

[0052] In some wireless networks (such as wideband CDMA (WCDMA) wireless networks or 5G wireless networks), UE 120 can be configured to measure and report messages at least in part based on traffic volume or traffic size. For example, UE 120 can be configured to measure and report traffic volume measurements (TVM). TVM can be configured by base station 110 to assist base station 110 in making dynamic radio bearer control decisions. Base station 110 can configure UE 120 with one or more TVM reporting thresholds. In some aspects, the one or more TVM reporting thresholds can be cell-level or cell-specific TVM reporting thresholds (e.g., each UE 120 within the cell associated with base station 110 can be configured to have the same TVM reporting threshold). One or more TVM reporting thresholds may include thresholds for reporting TVM when the traffic volume on the transport channel is greater than or equal to the threshold (e.g., reporting event 4A reporting threshold defined by a wireless communication standard (such as 3GPP) or otherwise fixed), thresholds for reporting TVM when the traffic volume on the transport channel is less than the threshold (e.g., reporting event 4B reporting threshold defined by a wireless communication standard (such as 3GPP) or otherwise fixed), etc.

[0053] Base station 110 can use the reported TVM to dynamically configure UE 120 with appropriate radio bearer and / or appropriate Radio Resource Control (RRC) state (e.g., RRC connected state, RRC inactive state, or RRC idle state). For example, if UE 120 sends a TVM report at least in part based on the detection of reporting event 4A (e.g., at least in part based on determining that traffic is greater than or equal to a threshold), base station 110 can configure (or reconfigure) UE 120 with a radio bearer and / or RRC state associated with a higher data rate (e.g., RRC connected state). Conversely, if UE 120 sends a TVM report at least in part based on the detection of reporting event 4B (e.g., at least in part based on determining that traffic is less than a threshold), base station 110 can configure (or reconfigure) UE 120 with a radio bearer and / or RRC state associated with a lower data rate (e.g., RRC idle state or RRC inactive state). In some aspects, base station 110 may determine the physical channel configuration for UE 120 based at least in part on TVM reports. For example, base station 110 may determine, at least in part on TVM reports, whether UE 120 should be associated with the cell forward access channel (cell FACH) RRC state (e.g., associated with lower data rates, version 99 (R99) radio bearers, etc.) or the cell dedicated channel (cell DCH) RRC state (e.g., associated with higher data rates, High-Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) / High-Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) radio bearers, etc.).

[0054] In some cases, UE 120 can be enabled (e.g., able and / or configured to) perform UDC associated with UE 120's uplink transmissions. Therefore, UE 120 can reduce the size of the uplink transmission from its uncompressed size to a compressed size. In some aspects, UE 120 can achieve a compression gain between 50% and 90% by performing UDC (e.g., the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission can be 50% to 90% smaller than the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission). In some aspects, UE 120, when enabled to perform UDC, can use the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission when determining whether a message reporting threshold (e.g., a TVM reporting threshold or another threshold) has been met. However, because the size of the uplink transmission may be reduced due to UDC operation, the likelihood of UE 120 detecting a reporting event (e.g., and reporting a message to base station 110, thereby enabling base station 110 to configure UE 120 with a higher data rate radio bearer and / or a higher data rate RRC state) is reduced. Therefore, when the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission does not meet the reporting threshold, UE 120 may not send a message (e.g., TVM report) even if the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets the reporting threshold.

[0055] For example, the TVM reporting threshold could be 2500 bytes (e.g., the reporting event 4A reporting threshold). UE 120 can compress uplink transmitted data from an uncompressed size of 10000 bytes to a compressed size of 2000 bytes. UE 120 can determine that the TVM reporting threshold is not met because the compressed size of 2000 bytes is less than the 2500-byte TVM reporting threshold. As a result, UE 120 may not send a TVM report indicating one or more TVMs to base station 110. This failure to send TVM reports in this manner may have a negative impact on UE 120 with UDC enabled compared to UE 120 without UDC (e.g., UE 120 without UDC could send TVM reports because it could use an uncompressed size of 10000 bytes and determine that the TVM reporting threshold is met).

[0056] Failure to send TVM reports in this manner increases the latency associated with transitioning to a radio bearer and / or RRC state associated with a higher data rate. This latency reduces the communication reliability of UE 120, consumes UE 120 resources (e.g., power resources, radio resources, etc.), and so on. Furthermore, using the compression size of data associated with uplink transmissions to determine whether the TVM reporting threshold is met increases the likelihood that UE 120 will detect reporting event 4B, resulting in UE 120 being configured with a lower data rate radio bearer and / or RRC state. Moreover, the more efficient the UDC performed by UE 120 (e.g., the higher the compression gain achieved by the UDC), the more likely UE 120 will fail to detect reporting event 4A. Therefore, UE 120 capable of performing high compression gain UDCs is negatively affected in terms of TVM reporting.

[0057] Some of the techniques and apparatus described herein implement optimized traffic volume reporting. In some aspects, a UE 120 capable of performing UDC may use the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions for measurement or message reporting purposes, and the compressed size of compressed data associated with uplink transmissions for transmission purposes (e.g., for buffer occupancy reporting purposes). For example, UE 120 may determine whether the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions meets a reporting threshold. UE 120 may send messages (e.g., TVM reports, buffer measurement reports, requests for bandwidth portion (BWP) configuration changes, and / or requests for RRC status configuration changes, and other examples) based at least in part on the determination that the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions meets the reporting threshold. UE 120 may send buffer occupancy reports indicating the compressed size of compressed data associated with uplink transmissions, and / or requests for radio resources based at least in part on the compressed size of compressed data associated with uplink transmissions. UE 120 may receive radio resource grants based at least in part on requests for radio resources. UE 120 can use licensed radio resources to transmit compressed data for uplink transmissions at a compressed size.

[0058] Therefore, UE 120 can be enabled to use the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions for measurement and / or reporting purposes at Layer 2 of UE 120. UE 120 can be enabled to use the compressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions for buffer occupancy reporting and / or uplink transmission purposes. UE 120 can determine whether to send a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions. Therefore, UE 120 can be enabled to receive radio bearer reconfigurations, BWP reconfigurations, and / or RRC state reconfigurations pointing to radio bearers, BWP states, and / or RRC states associated with higher data rates (e.g., at least in part based on sending a message).

[0059] Therefore, the latency associated with transitioning to a radio bearer, BWP state, and / or RRC state associated with a higher data rate is reduced. Reducing the latency associated with transitioning to a radio bearer, BWP state, and / or RRC state associated with a higher data rate increases the communication reliability of UE 120 and conserves UE 120 resources (e.g., power resources, radio resources, etc.) that would otherwise be used in lower radio bearers, lower BWP states, and / or lower RRC states (e.g., lower data rate radio bearers, BWP states, and / or RRC states) if the compression size of the compressed data associated with uplink transmissions is used to determine whether a reporting threshold is met. Additionally, UE 120 is enabled to realize the benefits of utilizing UDC when transmitting uplink transmissions (e.g., conserving radio resources, UE 120 power resources, etc.). Furthermore, using the uncompressed size of the data associated with uplink transmissions to determine whether the TVM reporting threshold is met reduces the likelihood that UE 120 will detect reporting event 4B, thereby reducing the likelihood that UE 120 will be reconfigured to a lower data rate radio bearer and / or a lower data rate RRC state. In this way, UE 120 with UDC enabled will not be at a disadvantage or negatively affected in terms of traffic reporting compared to UE 120 without UDC enabled.

[0060] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 associated with an optimized TVM report according to this disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, Example 400 includes communication between base station 110 and UE 120. In some aspects, base station 110 and UE 120 may be included in a wireless network (such as wireless network 100). In some aspects, the wireless network may be a WCDMA wireless network. Base station 110 and UE 120 may communicate on a radio access link (which may include uplink and downlink).

[0061] As shown by reference numeral 405 in the attached figure, base station 110 can transmit a configuration, and UE 120 can receive the configuration. This configuration can be a TVM configuration. This configuration can be an RRC configuration, indicated by RRC parameters of the RRC configuration, transmitted using RRC signaling, etc. This configuration can indicate one or more reporting thresholds, such as a TVM reporting threshold (e.g., associated with event 4a or event 4b), a buffer measurement threshold, and / or an RRC reconfiguration request threshold, and other examples. In some aspects, one or more reporting thresholds may include a TVM reporting threshold that indicates that UE 120 will send a TVM report (indicating one or more TVMs) if the transport channel traffic becomes greater than or equal to the TVM reporting threshold (e.g., the reporting event 4A reporting threshold). In some aspects, one or more reporting thresholds may include a TVM reporting threshold that indicates that UE 120 will send a TVM report (indicating one or more TVMs) if the transport channel traffic becomes less than the TVM reporting threshold (e.g., the reporting event 4B reporting threshold). In some aspects, one or more reporting thresholds may include an RRC reconfiguration request threshold, which instructs UE 120 to send a request to change the RRC state of UE 120 if the transport channel traffic volume meets the RRC reconfiguration request threshold. In some aspects, one or more reporting thresholds may include a BWP state threshold, which instructs UE 120 to send a request to change the BWP state of UE 120 if the transport channel traffic volume meets the BWP state threshold. One or more reporting thresholds may be absolute thresholds.

[0062] For example, UE 120 may be configured with one or more active BWPs, one or more inactive BWPs, and / or one or more dormant BWPs. A “dormant BWP” may refer to a BWP not configured with a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) (e.g., a BWP not configured with PDCCH monitoring) and may be used for power saving, for example, when UE 120 has no traffic to transmit or has a small amount of traffic to transmit. Non-dormant BWPs may be configured with PDCCH monitoring and / or may be associated with a higher data capacity than dormant BWPs. Non-dormant BWPs may be associated with a radio resource configuration different from the radio resource configuration used for dormant BWPs (e.g., a non-dormant BWP may be associated with more radio resources than a dormant BWP). For example, UE 120 may be configured with a dormant BWP when UE 120 has no traffic to transmit or has a small amount of traffic to transmit, and may be configured with a non-dormant BWP when UE 120 has traffic to transmit. In other words, the handover between the UE 120’s sleep state (e.g., where one or more activities such as PDCCH monitoring of the UE 120 are reduced or eliminated) and the UE 120’s non-sleep state can be performed via BWP handover, which can reduce the latency associated with the handover between the sleep state and the non-sleep state.

[0063] In some aspects, the configuration can be a cell-specific configuration. In other words, base station 110 can configure each UE 120 communicating with base station 110 (e.g., each UE 120 located within the cell associated with base station 110) with the same configuration. For example, this configuration can be associated with a cell-level radio resource management configuration. Therefore, each UE 120 communicating with base station 110 can be configured with the same reporting threshold. In other words, UE 120 can receive the same configuration regardless of whether UDC is enabled. In some aspects, this configuration can configure one or more reporting thresholds for UE 120's Layer 2 level (e.g., RRC level, PDCP level, Radio Link Control (RLC) level, or Media Access Control (MAC) level).

[0064] As shown by reference numeral 410 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 can perform UDC (User Data Conversion) of data associated with uplink transmission. For example, UE 120 is capable of performing UDC. UE 120 can indicate its ability to perform UDC to base station 110. Base station 110 can configure UE 120 to perform UDC of data associated with uplink transmission. In this way, UE 120 can be enabled to perform UDC.

[0065] In some respects, the modem of UE 120 can receive data associated with uplink transmissions (e.g., data associated with application services) from the host of UE 120 in uncompressed form. UE 120 can compress the data associated with the uplink transmissions to a compressed size (e.g., using UDC technology or protocols). For example, the host of UE 120 can provide 10,000 bytes of data associated with an uplink transmission to the modem of UE 120. The modem of UE 120 can use UDC technology or protocols to compress the 10,000 bytes of data to a compressed size of 2,000 bytes.

[0066] As shown by reference numeral 415 in the attached figure, UE 120 can determine whether the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets a threshold (e.g., a TVM reporting threshold or another reporting threshold). For example, UE 120 can determine the transport channel traffic volume based at least in part on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission. UE 120 can determine whether the transport channel traffic volume meets a threshold (e.g., a TVM reporting threshold or another reporting threshold). UE 120 can determine whether to send a message (e.g., a TVM report, a buffer measurement report, a request for a BWP configuration change, and / or a request for an RRC status configuration change, and other examples) based at least in part on the determination regarding whether the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets the threshold. Referring to the example above, UE 120 can determine whether 10,000 bytes meet a configured threshold (e.g., a TVM reporting threshold or another threshold configured by TVM configuration) instead of using the compressed size of 2,000 bytes of compressed data associated with the uplink transmission.

[0067] As indicated by reference numeral 420 in the accompanying drawings, UE 120 may send a message (e.g., a TVM report, a buffer measurement report, a request for a BWP configuration change, and / or a request for an RRC state configuration change, and other examples) based at least in part on a determination that the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets a threshold, and base station 110 may receive the message. For example, UE 120 may determine that the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets a threshold (e.g., a TVM report threshold, such as the report event 4A report threshold or the report event 4B report threshold). UE 120 may send this message to base station 110 as a Layer 2 measurement report. In some aspects, the message may indicate one or more TVM values ​​that are at least in part based on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission. For example, the message may indicate the buffer occupancy value of UE 120 based at least in part on the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmission, the average value of the buffer occupancy value of UE 120 based at least in part on the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmission, the variance of the buffer occupancy value of UE 120 based at least in part on the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmission, etc.

[0068] In some aspects, the message can be a Layer 2 message, such as an RRC message, PDCP message, RLC message, and / or MAC message, and other examples. For example, the message can be a control PDU associated with the PDCP layer, a control PDU associated with the RLC layer, and / or a MAC control element (MAC-CE), and other examples. In some aspects, the message can indicate a request for a change to the RRC state of UE 120. In some aspects, the message can indicate a request for a change to the BWP configuration of UE 120 (e.g., from a dormant BWP to a non-dormant BWP). In some aspects, the message can be a TVM report. For example, a TVM report can indicate a request for a change to the RRC state of UE 120 and / or can indicate a request for a change to the BWP configuration of UE 120.

[0069] As indicated by reference numeral 425 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 may determine, at least in part, the reconfiguration of UE 120 based on this message. For example, base station 110 may receive the message and determine, at least in part, based on one or more values ​​indicated by the message, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to a different radio bearer, a different BWP, a different BWP state, and / or a different RRC state. In some aspects, base station 110 may determine that UE 120 should be reconfigured to a higher data rate radio bearer, a higher data rate or higher data capacity BWP, and / or a higher data rate RRC state (e.g., if a TVM report indicates that UE 120 has detected that the transport channel traffic value meets the reporting event 4A reporting threshold).

[0070] For example, base station 110 may determine, at least in part, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to a higher data rate radio bearer, higher data capacity BWP, and / or higher data rate RRC state based on the traffic volume experienced by UE 120 or the uplink buffer size (e.g., indicated by a message). In some aspects, base station 110 may determine, at least in part, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to a lower data rate radio bearer, lower data capacity BWP, and / or higher data rate RRC state based on the traffic volume experienced by UE 120 or the uplink buffer size (e.g., indicated by a message) (e.g., where UE 120 sends a TVM report at least in part based on determining that the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets the reporting event 4B reporting threshold).

[0071] For example, when operating in RRC connected mode, UE 120 can be configured to operate in the cell FACH RRC state. Base station 110 can determine, at least in part, based on this message, that UE 120, when operating in RRC connected mode (e.g., where UE 120 sends a TVM report based at least in part on determining that the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets the reporting event 4A reporting threshold), should be reconfigured to operate in the cell DCH RRC state (e.g., associated with a higher data rate compared to the data rate associated with the cell FACH RRC state). In some aspects, UE 120 can operate using R99 services (e.g., UE 120 can be configured with an R99 radio bearer). Base station 110 can determine, at least in part, based on this message, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to operate using HSDPA / HSUPA services (e.g., using an HSDPA / HSUPA radio bearer associated with a higher data rate compared to the data rate associated with the R99 radio bearer).

[0072] In some aspects, UE 120 can be configured to operate in RRC idle mode or RRC inactive mode. Base station 110 can determine, at least in part, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to operate in RRC connected mode based on this message. In some aspects, UE 120 can be configured to use a dormant BWP. Base station 110 can determine, at least in part, that UE 120 should be reconfigured to operate using a non-dormant BWP (e.g., associated with PDCCH monitoring and / or a higher data capacity than a dormant BWP) based on this message.

[0073] As indicated by reference numeral 430 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 can transmit, and UE 120 can receive, a reconfiguration based at least in part on this message. In some aspects, the reconfiguration may be an RRC reconfiguration (e.g., instructing UE 120 to switch to a different RRC state). In some aspects, the reconfiguration may be a radio bearer reconfiguration (e.g., instructing UE 120 to switch to a different radio bearer). In some aspects, the reconfiguration may be a physical channel reconfiguration. In some aspects, the reconfiguration may be a BWP reconfiguration (e.g., instructing UE 120 to switch to a different BWP and / or a different BWP state).

[0074] UE 120 can transition to a different radio bearer, a different BWP, a different BWP state, and / or a different RRC state, at least in part, based on received reconfiguration. For example, UE 120 can transition from a cell FACH RRC state to a cell DCH state, at least in part, based on received reconfiguration. In some aspects, UE 120 can transition from R99 service to HSDPA / HSUPA service (e.g., from an R99 radio bearer to an HSDPA / HSUPA radio bearer), at least in part, based on received reconfiguration. In some aspects, UE 120 can transition from an RRC inactive state or an RRC idle state to an RRC connected state. In some aspects, UE 120 can transition from a dormant BWP to a non-dormant BWP.

[0075] As shown by reference numeral 435 in the attached figure, UE 120 can send and base station 110 can receive a buffer occupancy report. The buffer occupancy report can indicate a buffer occupancy value. The buffer occupancy value can be based at least in part on the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission (e.g., 2000 bytes in the example above).

[0076] UE 120 can send, and base station 110 can receive, a request for radio resource permission. The request for radio resource permission may be a request for radio resources for transmitting compressed data associated with uplink transmissions. The request for radio resource permission may be at least partially based on the compressed size of the compressed data associated with uplink transmissions. Referring to the example above, UE 120 may send a request for radio resource permission indicating that UE 120 is requesting radio resources for transmitting 2000 bytes of data (e.g., the compressed size of the compressed data associated with uplink transmissions).

[0077] As shown by reference numeral 440 in the accompanying drawings, base station 110 can transmit and UE 120 can receive radio resource grants associated with uplink transmissions. For example, base station 110 can receive buffer occupancy reports and / or requests for radio resource grants from UE 120. Base station 110 can determine radio resource grants based at least in part on buffer occupancy reports and / or at least in part on requests for radio resource grants. For example, base station 110 can determine the amount of radio resources (e.g., time-domain resources and / or frequency-domain resources) to be allocated to UE 120 for uplink transmissions. The amount of radio resources can be based at least in part on the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission. For example, base station 110 can schedule the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission for transmission by UE 120 at a compressed size. Referring to the above example, base station 110 can allocate multiple radio resources to UE 120 so that UE 120 can transmit 2000 bytes of data (e.g., the compressed size of the compressed data associated with the uplink transmission).

[0078] As shown by reference numeral 445 in the attached figure, UE 120 can transmit compressed data associated with uplink transmissions at a compressed size, and base station 110 can receive the compressed data. UE 120 can use radio resources indicated by radio resource permission to transmit the compressed data over the air. Base station 110 can receive the compressed data and decompress it to determine the uncompressed data associated with the uplink transmissions.

[0079] In some aspects, UE 120 may use a reconfigured radio bearer, a reconfigured BWP, a reconfigured BWP state, and / or a reconfigured RRC state (e.g., indicated by a reconfiguration based at least in part on a TVM report) to transmit compressed data associated with uplink transmissions at a compressed size. For example, UE 120 may transmit compressed data associated with uplink transmissions at a compressed size after sending a TVM report and / or after receiving a reconfiguration. In some aspects, UE 120 may use the original radio bearer, the original BWP, the original BWP state, and / or the original RRC state to transmit compressed data associated with uplink transmissions at a compressed size. In other words, UE 120 may transmit compressed data associated with uplink transmissions at a compressed size before sending a message and / or before receiving a reconfiguration. In this scenario, after transmitting compressed data associated with the uplink transmission in a compressed size, UE 120 can be reconfigured to a different radio bearer, a different BWP, a different BWP state, and / or a different RRC state (e.g., for subsequent uplink transmissions, UE 120 can operate with a different radio bearer, a different BWP, a different BWP state, and / or a different RRC state).

[0080] Therefore, as described above, UE 120 can be enabled to use the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions for traffic or buffer measurement purposes at Layer 2 of UE 120. UE 120 can be enabled to use the compressed size of compressed data associated with uplink transmissions for buffer occupancy reporting and / or uplink transmission purposes. UE 120 can determine whether to send a message based at least in part on the uncompressed size of data associated with uplink transmissions. Therefore, UE 120 can be enabled to receive radio bearer reconfiguration, BWP reconfiguration, and / or RRC state reconfiguration (e.g., at least in part based on message transmission) pointing to radio bearer, BWP, BWP state, and / or RRC state associated with higher data rates or higher data capacity. Therefore, the latency associated with transitioning to radio bearer, BWP, BWP state, and / or RRC state associated with higher data rates and / or higher data capacity is reduced.

[0081] Reducing the latency associated with transitioning to radio bearers, BWP states, and / or RRC states associated with higher data rates and / or higher data capacity increases the communication reliability of UE 120 and conserves UE 120 resources (e.g., power resources, radio resources, etc.). Otherwise, if the compressed size of the compressed data associated with uplink transmissions is used to determine whether the reporting threshold is met, UE 120 will use these UE 120 resources in lower radio bearers, lower BWP, lower BWP states, and / or lower RRC states (e.g., lower data rate or data capacity radio bearers, BWP, BWP states, and / or RRC states), etc. Additionally, UE 120 is enabled to realize the benefits of UDC when transmitting uplink transmissions (e.g., conserving radio resources, UE 120 power resources, etc.). Furthermore, using the uncompressed size of the data associated with uplink transmissions to determine whether the TVM reporting threshold is met reduces the likelihood that UE 120 will detect reporting event 4B, thereby reducing the likelihood that UE 120 will be reconfigured to lower data rate radio bearers and / or lower data rate RRC states. In this way, UE 120 with UDC enabled will not be at a disadvantage in TVM reporting compared to UE 120 without UDC enabled.

[0082] As pointed out above, Figure 4 This is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from the one provided. Figure 4 The example described.

[0083] Figure 5 This is a diagram illustrating, for example, an example process 500 performed by a UE according to this disclosure. Example process 500 is an example in which a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with optimized TVM reporting.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, in some aspects, process 500 may include: compressing data of uncompressed size associated with uplink transmission to a compressed size (box 510). For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, memory 282 and / or Figure 6 The compression component 608 depicted can compress data of uncompressed size associated with uplink transmissions to a compressed size, as described above.

[0085] like Figure 5As further shown, in some aspects, process 500 may optionally include: determining that the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets a threshold (block 520). For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, demodulator 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, memory 282 and / or Figure 6 The determining component 610 described herein can determine whether the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meets a threshold, as described above. In some aspects, the operation of block 520 can be determined by... Figure 6 The defined component 610 described in the text is executed.

[0086] like Figure 5 As further shown, in some aspects, process 500 may include: sending a message (block 530) at least in part based on the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission meeting a threshold. For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, memory 282 and / or Figure 6 The sending component 604 depicted can send messages at least in part based on a threshold being met by the uncompressed size of the data associated with the uplink transmission, as described above. In some aspects, the operation of block 530 can be... Figure 6 The sending component 604 described in the text is executed.

[0087] like Figure 5 Further shown, in some aspects, process 500 may include: transmitting an uplink transmission comprising compressed data having a compressed size (block 540). For example, the UE (e.g., using antenna 252, transmit processor 264, TXMIMO processor 266, modulator 254, controller / processor 280, memory 282 and / or Figure 6 The transmitting component 604 depicted can transmit uplink transmissions including compressed data of a compressed size. In some aspects, the operation of block 540 can be controlled by... Figure 6 The sending component 604 described in the text is executed.
