Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. non-provisional patent application No. 17 / 662,526, filed on May 9, 2022, entitled “POWER CONSUMPTION CALCULATION AND REPORTING,” which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wireless communications, and to techniques and apparatus for power consumption calculation and reporting. Background Art

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide a variety of telecommunication services, such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasting. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple access technologies that can support 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 / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0005] A wireless network may include one or more network nodes that support communications for one user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a network node via downlink communications and uplink communications. A "downlink" (or "DL") refers to the communication link from a network node to a UE, and an "uplink" (or "UL") refers to the communication link from a UE to a network node.

[0006] The above-mentioned multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate at a city, country, region and / or global level. New Radio (NR) (which may be referred to as 5G) is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better integrate with other open standards by improving spectrum efficiency, reducing costs, improving services, utilizing new spectrum, and using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (CP-OFDM) with cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and / or single carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, and supporting beamforming, multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna technology and carrier aggregation, so as to better support mobile broadband Internet access. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR and other radio access technologies remain useful. Summary of the invention

[0022] The various aspects of the present disclosure are described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure can be embodied in many different forms, and should not be interpreted as being limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout the present disclosure. On the contrary, these aspects are provided so that the present disclosure will be thorough and complete, and the scope of the present disclosure will be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether it is implemented independently or in combination with any other aspect of the present disclosure. For example, any number of aspects set forth herein may be used to implement a device or practice method. In addition, the scope of the present disclosure is intended to cover such devices or methods that are practiced using other structures, functionality, or structures and functionality in addition to or different from the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of the claims.

[0023] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various devices and techniques. These devices and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, 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 these elements are implemented as hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0024] Although various aspects may be described herein using terms generally associated with 5G or new radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), various aspects of the present disclosure may be applicable to other RATs, such as 3G RAT, 4G RAT, and / or post-5G RATs (e.g., 6G).

[0025] Figure 1 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and / or elements of a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more network nodes 110 (shown as network node 110a, network node 110b, network node 110c, and network node 110d), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as UE 120a, UE 120b, UE 120c, UE 120d, and UE 120e), and / or other network entities. The network node 110 is an entity that communicates with the UE 120. The network nodes 110 may include, for example, a base station (sometimes referred to as a BS), an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and / or a transmit receive point (TRP). Each network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a specific geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term "cell" may refer to a coverage area of ​​a network node 110 and / or a network node subsystem serving the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0026] The network node 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and / or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., a radius of several kilometers) and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by a UE 120 with a service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by a UE 120 associated with the femto cell (e.g., a UE 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A network node 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro network node. A network node 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A network node 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or a home base station. In Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110a may be a macro base station for macro cell 102a, network node 110b may be a pico base station for pico cell 102b, and network node 110c may be a femto base station for femto cell 102c. A network node may support one or more (eg, three) cells.

[0027] In some examples, the cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of ​​the cell may move depending on the location of the mobile network node 110 (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the network nodes 110 may be interconnected to each other and / or to one or more other network nodes 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 using any suitable transport network through various types of backhaul interfaces (such as direct physical connections or virtual networks).

[0028] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive transmissions of data from an upstream station (e.g., a network node 110 or a UE 120) and transmit transmissions of data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a network node 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. Figure 1 In the example shown, network node 110d (e.g., a relay base station) may communicate with network node 110a (e.g., a macro base station) and UE 120d to facilitate communications between network node 110a and UE 120d. A network node 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, relay base station, relay, or the like.

[0029] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes different types of network nodes 110, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, etc. These different types of network nodes 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and / or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, a macro base station may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 watts to 40 watts), while a pico base station, a femto base station, and a relay base station may have a lower transmit power level (e.g., 0.1 watt to 2 watts).

[0030] The deployment of a communication system (such as a 5G New Radio (NR) system) can be arranged with various components or components in a variety of ways. In a 5G NR system or network, a network node, a network entity, a mobility element of a network, a radio access network (RAN) node, a core network node, a network element, a base station or network equipment can be implemented in an aggregated or decomposed architecture. For example, a base station (such as a node B (NB), an evolved NB (eNB), an NR base station (BS), a 5G NB, a gNodeB (gNB), an access point (AP), a transmit receive point (TRP) or a cell) or one or more units (or one or more components) performing base station functionality can be implemented as an aggregated base station (also called an independent base station or a monolithic base station) or a decomposed base station. A "network entity" or "network node" may refer to a decomposed base station or one or more units of a decomposed base station (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, one or more RUs or a combination thereof).

[0031] A converged base station may be configured to utilize a radio protocol stack that is physically or logically integrated within a single RAN node (e.g., within a single device or unit). A decomposed base station may be configured to utilize a protocol stack that is physically or logically distributed between two or more units (such as one or more CUs, one or more DUs, or one or more RUs). In some aspects, a CU may be implemented within a RAN node, and one or more DUs may be co-located with the CU, or alternatively, may be geographically or virtually distributed in one or more other RAN nodes. A DU may be implemented to communicate with one or more RUs. Each of a CU, a DU, and a RU may also be implemented as a virtual unit (e.g., a virtual central unit (VCU), a virtual distributed unit (VDU), or a virtual radio unit (VRU)).

[0032] Base station type operations or network designs may take into account the aggregated nature of base station functionality. For example, a disaggregated base station may be used in an integrated access backhaul (IAB) network, an open radio access network (O-RAN (network configurations such as those initiated by the O-RAN Alliance)), or a virtualized radio access network (vRAN, also known as a cloud radio access network (C-RAN)) to facilitate scaling of a communication system by separating base station functionality into one or more units that can be deployed separately. A disaggregated base station may include functionality implemented across two or more units at various physical locations, as well as functionality implemented virtually for at least one unit, which may enable flexibility in network design. Individual units of a disaggregated base station may be configured for wired or wireless communication with at least one other unit of the disaggregated base station.

[0033] The network controller 130 may be coupled to or in communication with a set of network nodes 110 and may provide coordination and control for the network nodes 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network nodes 110 via backhaul communication links. The network nodes 110 may also communicate directly with each other or indirectly via wireless or wired backhaul communication links.

[0034] UE 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and / or a subscriber unit. UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet computer, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and / or a satellite radio), a vehicle component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, an industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and / or any other suitable device configured to communicate via a wireless medium.

[0035] Some UEs 120 may be considered as machine type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC UEs and / or eMTC UEs may include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, which may communicate with a network node, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and / or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered as customer premises equipment. UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as a processor component and / or a memory component. In some examples, the processor component and the memory component may be coupled together. For example, a processor component (e.g., one or more processors) and a memory component (e.g., a memory) may be operably coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and / or electrically coupled.

[0036] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a specific RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, air interface, etc. Frequency may be referred to as a carrier, frequency channel, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0037] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly (e.g., without using network node 110 as an intermediary to communicate with each other) using one or more side link channels. 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, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, or vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocols), and / or mesh networks. In such examples, UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by network node 110.

[0038] The devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using an electromagnetic spectrum that may be subdivided into various categories, bands, channels, etc., based on frequency or wavelength. For example, the devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency ranges designated FR1 (410 MHz–7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz–52.6 GHz). It should be understood that, although portions of FR1 are greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “below 6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. Similar naming issues sometimes occur with respect to FR2, which is often (interchangeably) referred to as the “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, although different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz–300 GHz) identified as the “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

[0039] Frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are generally referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR research has identified the operating bands for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7.125GHz–24.25GHz). The bands falling within FR3 can inherit FR1 characteristics and / or FR2 characteristics, and therefore can effectively extend the features of FR1 and / or FR2 to mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operations to more than 52.6GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6GHz–71GHz), FR4 (52.6GHz–114.25GHz), and FR5 (114.25GHz–300GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0040] Considering the above examples, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "below 6 GHz" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may be lower than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. In addition, unless otherwise specifically stated, it should be understood that if the term "millimeter wave" or the like is used herein, the term may broadly refer to frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and / or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and / or FR5) may be modified, and the techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0041] In some aspects, UE 120 may include a communications manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, communications manager 140 may use a modem of the UE to determine an estimated power consumption of the modem; and use the modem to provide an indication of the estimated power consumption to an application processor of the UE. Additionally or alternatively, communications manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0042] As indicated above, Figure 1 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 1 Different than described.

[0043] Figure 2 1 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a network node 110 communicating with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100 according to the present disclosure. The network node 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a to 234t, such as T antennas (T≥1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a to 252r, such as R antennas (R≥1).

[0044] At the network node 110, the transmit processor 220 may receive data intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120) from the data source 212. The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCS) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQI) received from the UE 120. The network node 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS selected for the UE 120, and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for 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. The transmit processor 220 may 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 signals (PSS) or secondary synchronization signals (SSS)). The transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., pre-coding) on ​​data symbols, control symbols, overhead symbols, and / or reference symbols, where applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modulators) (shown as modems 232a to 232t). For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of the modem 232. Each modem 232 may process a corresponding output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) using a corresponding modulator component to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may also process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and / or up-convert) the output sample stream using a corresponding modulator component to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a to 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas) (shown as antennas 234a to 234t).

[0045] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a to 252r) may receive downlink signals from the network node 110 and / or other network nodes 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems) (shown as modems 254a to 254r). For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of the modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a corresponding demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and / or digitize) the received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modem 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols where applicable, and may provide detected symbols. The receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to the data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to the controller / processor 280. The term "controller / processor" may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. The channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and / or a CQI parameter, among other things. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in the housing 284.

[0046] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the network node 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0047] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a to 234t and / or antennas 252a to 252r) may include or be included within one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and / or one or more antenna arrays, etc. Antenna panels, antenna groups, sets of antenna elements, and / or antenna arrays may include one or more antenna elements (in a single housing or multiple housings), sets of coplanar antenna elements, sets of non-coplanar antenna elements, and / or may be coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as, Figure 2 One or more antenna elements of one or more components in.

[0048] On the uplink, at the UE 120, the transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from the data source 262 and control information from the controller / processor 280 (e.g., for reports including RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI). The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be pre-decoded by the TX MIMO processor 266, where applicable, further processed by the modem 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and sent to the network node 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of an antenna 252, a modem 254, a MIMO detector 256, a receive processor 258, a transmit processor 264, and / or a TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (eg, controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform the functions described herein (eg, reference Figures 4 to 7 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0049] At the network node 110, uplink signals from the UE 120 and / or other UEs may be received by the antenna 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of the modem 232), detected by the MIMO detector 236 (where applicable), and further processed by the receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information transmitted by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to the data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller / processor 240. The network node 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The network node 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink communication and / or uplink communication. In some examples, the modem 232 of the network node 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the network node 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of antenna 234, modem 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, transmit 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 execute the instructions described herein (e.g., reference 2 Figures 4 to 7 ) or any aspect of any of the methods described herein.

[0050] The controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component in the network node 110 may perform one or more techniques associated with power consumption calculation and reporting, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller / processor 240 of the network node 110, the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120, and / or Figure 2 Any other component of the Figure 6 600 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. Memory 242 and memory 282 may store data and program codes for network node 110 and UE 120, respectively. In some examples, memory 242 and / or memory 282 may include a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed by one or more processors of network node 110 and / or UE 120 (e.g., directly, or after compilation, conversion, and / or interpretation), may cause the one or more processors, UE 120, and / or network node 110 to perform or direct, for example, Figure 6 The process 600 and / or operations of other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running instructions, converting instructions, compiling instructions, and / or interpreting instructions, among others.

[0051] In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining, using a modem of the UE 120, an estimated power consumption of the modem 254; and / or means for providing an indication of the estimated power consumption to an application processor (e.g., the controller / processor 280 and / or another controller / processor) of the UE 120 using the modem 254. Means for the UE 120 to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of the communications manager 140, the antenna 252, the modem 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, the TX MIMO processor 266, the controller / processor 280, or the memory 282.

[0052] Although Figure 2 The blocks in the 2000 and 2010 are illustrated as distinct components, but the functionality described above with respect to these blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combined component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functionality described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and / or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller / processor 280.

[0053] As indicated above, Figure 2are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 2 Different than described.

[0054] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of a device designed for periodic multimedia service applications according to the present disclosure.

[0055] Some devices, including those for extended reality (XR) and / or gaming, may require low-latency traffic to and from edge servers or cloud environments. Traffic to and from edge servers or cloud environments may be periodic to support specific frame rates (e.g., 120 frames per second (FPS), 90 FPS, 60 FPS) and / or specific refresh rates (e.g., 500 Hertz (Hz), 120 (Hz)) for multimedia traffic applications such as XR and / or gaming.

[0056] The XR device may include UE 120, or may be associated with UE 120. XR devices, gaming devices, and similar types of devices may execute applications, or may be associated with applications. The application may be executed by an application processor of an associated UE and / or by an XR device or for another type of gaming device. Applications for an XR device (or for another type of gaming device such as UE 120) may include video games (e.g., where multimedia services are delivered to and from an edge server or cloud environment at a specific frame rate to support audio and / or video rendering) and / or VR environments (e.g., where multimedia services are delivered to and from an edge server or cloud environment at a specific polling rate to support sensors (e.g., 6 degrees of freedom (6DOF) sensor input and feedback)), and the like.

[0057] Example 300 illustrates communication between an XR device and an edge server or cloud environment via a network node (e.g., a gNB, a network node 110, and / or a combination thereof). Figure 3The XR device may be an augmented reality (AR) glasses device, a virtual reality (VR) glasses device, or other gaming device. The XR device may have limited battery capacity while being expected to have the battery life of a smartphone (e.g., all-day use). Even if the XR device is connected to a smartphone and uses the same smartphone battery, battery power is an issue. XR device power consumption and dissipation may be limited and may result in an uncomfortable user experience and / or short battery life. Therefore, excessive power consumption associated with applications executed by an application processor of a UE and / or by an application processor of an associated XR device may result in a shortened battery life of the UE and / or the associated XR device, may result in reduced comfort due to increased heat generated by the UE and / or the associated XR device, and / or may result in a reduced usage time of the application (e.g., reduced gaming session time, reduced VR session time), and the like.

[0058] Some specific implementations described herein provide power consumption calculation and reporting for a UE and / or associated XR device. As described herein, an application programming interface (API) may be provided between an application processor and a modem (e.g., a modem of UE 120, a modem of an XR device). The API enables direct communication between the application processor and the modem, which enables commands and power consumption reports to be provided directly between the application processor and the modem. The API enables the application processor to be "modem power aware" because the modem can provide a power consumption report to the application processor via the API, so that the application processor knows the (estimated / predicted or actual) power consumption associated with a specific application of the modem. The modem can determine the total estimated power consumption of the modem, the estimated power consumption per stream (e.g., the power consumption for a specific communication stream associated with an application), the predicted power consumption for a candidate or suggested communication stream, and / or another type of power consumption report, etc. The power consumption report provided by the modem to the application processor enables the application processor to adjust one or more parameters associated with the application to achieve the desired battery life and / or user experience of the UE and / or XR device, and / or to extend or improve the remaining battery life of the UE and / or XR device, etc.

[0059] As indicated above, Figure 3 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 3 Different than described.

[0060] Figure 4 4 is a diagram illustrating an example 400 of a communication flow between a UE 120 and an application server 405 according to the present disclosure. The UE 120 may include a Figure 3The described XR devices may be, and / or may be associated with, XR devices.

[0061] UE 120 may communicate with application server 405 via wireless network 100. Application server 405 may host applications such as gaming applications, video streaming applications, XR, VR, or AR applications, and / or another type of application that provides a communication flow for streaming data between UE 120 and application server 405. Application server 405 may be included in an edge server, a cloud environment, and / or another type of server environment.

[0062] UE 120 may include an application processor 410 and a modem 415. Application processor 410 may correspond to Figure 2 The modem 415 may correspond to the controller / processor 280 of the UE 120 and / or another controller / processor of the UE 120. Figure 2 modem 254, receive processor 258 and / or transmit processor 264, and / or another modem component.

[0063] The application processor 410 may be configured to execute a client of an application hosted by the application server 405. A communication stream associated with the application may be provided to and received from the application server 405 via the modem 415 and the wireless network 100. The communication stream associated with the application may include a directional data stream associated with the application. The application may be associated with a downlink communication stream 420 and an uplink communication stream 425. The downlink communication stream 420 may include a data stream from the application server 405 to the application processor 410, and the uplink communication stream 425 may include a data stream from the application processor 410 to the application server 405. The downlink communication stream 420 and the uplink communication stream 425 may include application data, such as a video stream, game data, XR / VR / AR gesture data, sensor data, and / or other types of data associated with the application.

[0064] like Figure 4 As further shown, the UE 120 may include an API directly between the application processor 410 and the modem 415. The API enables direct communication between the application processor 410 and the modem 415. As described herein, the modem 415 may provide a power consumption report to the application processor 410. The power consumption report may include an indication of the power consumption (e.g., estimated power consumption, predicted power consumption, and / or actual power consumption) of the modem 415. The power consumption report may be associated with an application and / or a communication flow associated with the application.

[0065] The application processor 410 may use the power consumption report to provide client feedback to the application server 405 in the feedback stream 435. For example, the application processor 410 may provide an indication to reduce the data transfer rate associated with the application, an indication to reduce the display resolution associated with the application, and / or an indication to modify another parameter of the application to reduce the power consumption of the modem 415 via the feedback stream 435. In this manner, the power consumption report, API 430, and feedback stream 435 enable the UE 120 to reduce the power consumption of the modem 415 to extend the battery life of the UE 120 and or provide an appropriate user experience for the application.

[0066] As indicated above, Figure 4 are provided as examples. Other examples can be found in the Figure 4 Different than described.

[0067] Figure 5 1 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 associated with power consumption calculation and reporting according to the present disclosure. Example 500 may include operations performed by UE 120. UE 120 may include in conjunction with Figure 3 The described XR devices may be, and / or may be associated with, XR devices.

[0068] like Figure 5 As shown, at 505, the modem 415 of the UE 120 can determine an estimated power consumption of the modem 415. The estimated power consumption can include an overall estimated power consumption of the modem 415, a per-flow estimated power consumption (e.g., power consumption for a particular communication flow associated with an application), a predicted power consumption for a candidate or suggested communication flow, and / or another type of power consumption associated with the modem 415, and the like.

[0069] The total estimated power consumption may include a metric representing the power consumption of the modem 415 and various peripheral components of the UE 120, such as the RF front end of the UE 120. In some aspects, the modem 415 may estimate the power consumption of the modem 415 based at least in part on a periodic parameter (referred to herein as T_ calc In some aspects, T_ calc A time unit may be included, such as seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, and / or another time unit. Parameter T_ calc_slots Can indicate coverage period T_ calc The number of time slots.

[0070] In some respects, in each T_ calc At each time unit, the modem 415 can calculate the time according to the last T_ calc_slotsThe total estimated power consumption of modem 415 is determined by looking at the modem activity during each time slot. calc At each time unit, the modem 415 can calc_slots The total estimated power consumption of the modem 415 can be determined by looking at the modem activity during the non-overlapping windows of the time slots. In some aspects, the modem 415 can determine the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415 based on the last T_ calc_slots The modem activity in each of the time slots determines the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415. In other words, the modem 415 may use a sliding window approach to determine the total estimated power consumption, where the total estimated power consumption is for T_ calc_slots The overlapping groups of time slots are determined.

[0071] Modem activity in a time slot may represent actions and / or operations performed in the time slot by the modem 415. The modem activity may be based at least in part on a duplexing scheme of the UE 120 (e.g., time division duplex (TDD), frequency division duplex (FDD)), a power saving feature or configuration of the modem 415, and / or another parameter.

[0072] The duplex scheme used in a time slot may specify the type of time slot format used by the UE 120 in the time slot. The time slot format used in the time slot may indicate the type of activity performed by the UE 120 on the air interface in the time slot between the UE 120 and the wireless network 100. For a TDD configuration in a time slot, examples of time slot format configurations that may be used in the time slot include physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) only (e.g., physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resources are not used in the time slot), PDCCH and PDSCH, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) only (e.g., physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resources are not used in the time slot), PUSCH only (e.g., PUCCH resources are not used in the time slot), PUCCH and PUSCH or no activity, etc. For FDD configurations in a time slot (e.g., which may include any combination of uplink time slot formats and downlink time slot formats), examples of downlink time slot format configurations include PDCCH only (e.g., PDSCH resources are not used in the time slot) or PDCCH and PDSCH, and examples of uplink time slot format configurations include PUCCH only (e.g., PUSCH resources are not used in the time slot), PUSCH only (e.g., PUCCH resources are not used in the time slot), PUCCH and PUSCH or no activity, etc.

[0073] In TDD, no activity may correspond to a time slot configured as an uplink time slot in which neither PUCCH nor PUSCH is transmitted. In FDD, no activity may correspond to any time slot in which neither PUCCH nor PUSCH is transmitted. It should be noted that only channels whose reception or transmission depends on data delivered by an application may be included in the above-mentioned time slot format. The transmission and / or reception of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs), tracking reference signals (TRSs), sounding reference signals (SRSs) and / or other types of reference signals are independent of the application.

[0074] Each of the above-described time slot format configurations consumes a specific power. The power consumed based at least in part on each time slot format configuration may be contributed by the modem 415 (e.g., a baseband of the UE 120), the RF front end of the UE 120, the RF transceiver of the UE 120, and / or the power management integrated circuit (PMIC) of the UE 120, among others. The modem 415 may maintain a database that includes information identifying power numbers associated with one or more of the components listed above for each of the above-described time slot format configurations. The database (or another type of data structure stored by the UE 120) may also include power numbers for different power saving configurations for the modem 415. For example, the database may include: a first set of power numbers to be used for power consumption contribution calculations when the modem 415 is not operating in a power saving configuration, a second set of power numbers to be used for power consumption contribution calculations when the modem 415 is in a power saving configuration and operating in a high power mode or in a high throughput mode, a third set of power numbers to be used for power consumption contribution calculations when the modem 415 is in a power saving configuration and operating in a low power mode, a third set of power numbers to be used for power consumption contribution calculations when the modem 415 is operating in a power saving configuration and switching between modes, and the like.

[0075] Depending on the slot format configuration of the time slot, the power number of one or more of these components may be 0, which means no contribution to the total estimated power consumption from these components. For some components (e.g., RF front end), the modem 415 maintains a power number for each transmit power associated with the UE 120. These power numbers may be provided via a configuration file. These power numbers may be based at least in part on the component carrier to which the slot format configuration applies. For example, the UE 120 may receive the PDCCH on several component carriers according to the slot format configuration.

[0076] For the power saving configuration of the modem 415, one type of power saving configuration of the modem 415 may include a "no power saving feature" configuration, in which the UE 120 is always in a single state, regardless of whether the UE 120 is currently receiving data or transmitting data. Another type of power saving configuration of the modem 415 may include a "power saving feature with two states" configuration, in which the UE 120 is configured so that the UE 120 can selectively be in one of the following two modes: a "high throughput" mode or a "low power" mode. The high throughput mode can be used for data transmission with strict requirements (such as high throughput or low latency). The low power mode can be used when the UE 120 has no ongoing data transmission, or when the data being transmitted by the UE 120 is less demanding than the data transmitted in the high throughput mode. Examples of power saving features that may be included in the power saving configuration include discontinuous reception (DRX), connected mode DRX (CDRX), extended CDRX (E-CDRX), bandwidth part (BWP) switching, and / or search space set group (SSSG) switching, etc.

[0077] To determine the total estimated power consumption when the power saving configuration of modem 415 is the "no power saving feature" configuration as described above, modem 415 may determine the total estimated power consumption over the last T_ calc_slots The number of time slots having each of the above time slot format configurations during a time slot, the percentage / residence time of each time slot format configuration can be determined, the power consumption contribution of each time slot format configuration can be determined as the product of the percentage / residence time of each time slot format and the power consumption of each time slot format configuration, and all of the power consumption contributions can be summed. The sum of all of the power consumption contributions can correspond to the total estimated power consumption.

[0078] For TDD configuration, the modem 415 may determine the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of PDCCH only (Num_pdcchOnly), the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of PDCCH and PDSCH (Num_pdcchPdsch), the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of PUCCH only (Num_pucch), the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of PUSCH (Num_pusch), the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of PUCCH and PUSCH (Num_pucchAndPusch), and the number of time slots with a time slot format configuration of no activity (Num_uNoActivity). The modem 415 may determine the last T_ calc_slotsThe corresponding percentage of the time slots in the number of time slots may correspond to the dwell time of each of these time slot format configurations. For example, the dwell time of the time slot format configuration PDCCH only may correspond to res_pdcchOnly=(Num_pdcchOnly / T_ calc_slots ). The dwell times of the remaining time slot format configurations may be determined in a similar manner. The modem 415 may determine the respective power consumption contribution of each of these time slot format configurations as the product of its dwell time and the power consumption of its particular time slot configuration format. The power consumption of a particular time slot format configuration may be determined based at least in part on the power numbers for the above components in the above database. When the modem 415 is not operating in a power saving configuration, the modem 415 may use a combination of power numbers in the database to be used for power consumption contribution calculations. The power consumption may also depend on the component carriers used for each of these time slot format configurations. The modem may sum all of the respective power consumption contributions for each of these time slot format configurations in order to determine a total estimated power consumption.

[0079] For the FDD configuration, the modem 415 may determine the total estimated power consumption in a manner similar to that described above for the TDD configuration, except that the modem 415 uses a slot format configuration for FDD instead of TDD (eg, Num_pdcchOnly, Num_pdcchOnlyAndPucch, Num_pdcchOnlyAndPusch).

[0080] To determine the total estimated power consumption when the power saving configuration of the modem 415 is the "power saving feature with two states" configuration as described above, the modem 415 may determine the total estimated power consumption at the last T_ calc_slots The corresponding period during which the UE 120 is in high throughput mode or high power mode or is transitioning between these modes. For the high throughput mode period, the modem 415 can determine the last T_ in a manner similar to that described above for the "no power saving feature" configuration. calc_slots The number of time slots, the dwell time and the corresponding power consumption contribution of each time slot format configuration in the time slots. However, when the modem 415 is in a power saving configuration and is operating in a high power mode or in a high throughput mode for determining the corresponding power consumption contribution, the modem 415 can alternatively use a set of power numbers in the database to be used for power consumption contribution calculation.

[0081] Modem 415 may also determine the last T_ that UE 120 was in low power mode. calc_slots The corresponding period during the time slot.calc_slots For the low power mode periods in a time slot, the modem 415 determines the number of time slots and the associated dwell times for each time slot format configuration in the last T_ in a manner similar to that described above for the "no power saving feature" configuration. calc_slots For each time slot format configuration in the last T_ time slots, the modem 415 can determine the number of time slots and the associated dwell times in a manner similar to that described above for the "no power saving feature" configuration. calc_slots For each time slot format configuration in the last T_ time slots, the modem 415 can determine the corresponding power consumption contribution. However, when the modem 415 is in a power saving configuration and operating in a low power mode to determine the corresponding power consumption contribution, the modem 415 alternatively uses a set of power numbers in the database that will be used for the power consumption contribution calculation.

[0082] In addition, for the low power mode periods, the modem 415 can determine the number of time slots in the last T_ time slots during which the UE 120 can enter the sleep mode and the associated sleep mode type for each of these time slots. The sleep mode type of a time slot can be at least partially based on the sleep depth of the UE 120 in that time slot. calc_slots The sleep depth represents the amount of power consumed during sleep. The deeper the sleep, the less power is consumed. For example, in a high throughput mode, the modem 415 may consume "X" mW in a PDCCH time slot. A time slot with a micro sleep (e.g., sleep mode 1) may consume X1 < X. A time slot with a light sleep (e.g., sleep mode 2) may consume X2 < X1 < X. A time slot with a deep sleep (e.g., sleep mode 3) may consume X3 < X2 < X1 < X. Among the available sleep depths, the UE 120 can select the corresponding sleep mode that is most suitable for the number of time slots during which the UE 120 can sleep. Generally speaking, the larger the gap, the deeper the sleep the UE 120 can enter. The modem 415 can determine the corresponding power saving power consumption contribution at least partially based on the number of time slots in the last T_ time slots during which the UE 120 can enter the sleep mode and the associated sleep mode type for each of these time slots.

[0083] In the "power saving feature with two states" configuration, the modem 415 can also determine the period during which the UE 120 transitions between modes in the last T_ time slots. For the transition period, the modem 415 can determine the last T_ in a manner similar to that described above for the "no power saving feature" configuration. calc_slots For each time slot format configuration in the last T_ time slots, the modem 415 can determine the corresponding power consumption contribution.

[0084] In the "power saving feature with two states" configuration, the modem 415 can also determine the period during which the UE 120 transitions between modes in the last T_ time slots. calc_slots For the transition period, the modem 415 can determine the last T_ in a manner similar to that described above for the "no power saving feature" configuration. calc_slotsThe number of time slots, the dwell time and the corresponding power consumption contribution of each time slot format configuration in each time slot. However, when the modem 415 is operating in a power saving configuration and switching between modes for determining the corresponding power consumption contribution, the modem 415 can alternatively use a set of power numbers in the database to be used for power consumption contribution calculation.

[0085] The modem 415 may sum all of these respective power consumption contributions for the high throughput mode, high power mode, low power mode, and transition period to determine the final T_ in which the modem 415 is configured for the "power saving feature with two states". calc_slots The total estimated power consumption for each time slot.

[0086] The per-flow estimated power consumption may include a metric representing the contribution of a particular communication flow (or a particular logical channel) associated with an application to the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415. The particular communication flow may include a downlink communication flow 420 associated with an application executed by the application processor 410 or an uplink communication flow 425 associated with an application executed by the application processor 410. In some aspects, the modem 415 determines respective per-flow estimated power consumptions for the downlink communication flow 420 and the uplink communication flow 425 associated with the application executed by the application processor 410. In some aspects, the modem 415 determines respective per-flow estimated power consumptions for communication flows associated with multiple applications.

[0087] When the power saving configuration of the modem 415 is the "no power saving feature" configuration as described above, the modem 415 can determine the estimated power consumption per stream in a manner similar to the manner described above for the total estimated power consumption when in the "no power saving feature" configuration, except that the modem 415 only considers the number of time slots configured for each time slot format, the percentage / dwell time of each time slot format configuration, and the power consumption contribution of each time slot format configuration by a particular communication stream.

[0088] For a communication stream indexed j, the modem 415 determines the last T_ by considering only the time slots carrying information from communication stream j. calc_slotsThe number of time slots for each time slot format configuration in the number of time slots. Time slots with no activity are not considered in the per-stream estimated power consumption estimate. For a PDCCH-only time slot format configuration in TDD, the modem 415 may determine Num_pdcch_j, which is the number of time slots with PDCCH that schedule PDSCH / PUSCH with data from communication stream j. For a PDCCH and PDSCH time slot format configuration in TDD, the modem 415 may determine Num_pdcchPdsch_j, which is the number of time slots with PDSCH that carries data from communication stream j. For a PUCCH-only time slot format configuration in TDD, the modem 415 may determine Num_pucch_j, which is the number of time slots with PUCCH that carries a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for PDSCH with data from communication stream j. For a PUSCH-only timeslot format configuration in TDD, the modem 415 may determine Num_pusch_j, which is the number of timeslots with a PUSCH carrying data from communication stream j. For a PUSCH-only timeslot format configuration in TDD, the modem 415 may determine Num_pucchAndPusch_j, which is the number of timeslots with a PUSCH with data from communication stream j and a PUCCH with HARQ-ACK for a PDSCH with communication stream j.

[0089] When the power saving configuration of the modem 415 is the "power saving feature with two states" configuration as described above, the modem 415 may determine the per-stream estimated power consumption in a manner similar to that described above for the total estimated power consumption when in the "power saving feature with two states" configuration. However, for the per-stream estimated power consumption, the modem 415 only considers the contribution of a particular communication stream to the number of time slots for each time slot format configuration, the percentage / dwell time for each time slot format configuration, and the power consumption contribution of each time slot format configuration to the high-throughput mode period and the high-power mode period. In addition, low-power mode periods and transition periods are not included in the determination of the per-stream estimated power consumption because these periods may not be considered stream-specific.

[0090] The predicted power consumption may include a metric representing an estimate of the power consumption of the modem 415 under certain traffic (which is predicted traffic and different from traffic actually being conducted by the communication flow of the application executed by the application processor 410).

[0091] When the power saving configuration of the modem 415 is the "no power saving feature" configuration as described above, the modem 415 may determine the predicted power consumption in a manner similar to that described above for the total estimated power consumption when in the "no power saving feature" configuration, except that the modem 415 determines the predicted power consumption based at least in part on a candidate communication flow rather than an actual communication flow associated with the application processor 410. The candidate communication flow may be based on predicted traffic estimated or suggested by the application processor 410. Based on the predicted traffic, the modem 415 determines the predicted power consumption at T_ calc_slots The modem 415 determines the predicted downlink throughput (Throughput_predicted_dl) and the predicted uplink throughput (Throughput_predicted_ul) over the proposed set of time slots. calc_slots The last T_ calc_slots The T_ is determined by scaling the measured dwell time (e.g., up or down) based at least in part on the predicted downlink throughput and / or the predicted uplink throughput. calc_slots For example, for the predicted dwell times of the PDCCH and PDSCH slot format configurations, the modem 415 may determine Res_pdcchPdsch_predicted=Res_pdcchPdsch_measured*(Throughput_predicted_dl / Throughput_measured_dl). The modem 415 may determine the remaining predicted dwell times in a similar manner.

[0092] When the power saving configuration of the modem 415 is the "power saving feature with two states" configuration as described above, the modem 415 can determine the predicted power consumption in a manner similar to that described above for the total estimated power consumption when in the "power saving feature with two states" configuration. However, for the predicted power consumption, the modem 415 determines the predicted power consumption based at least in part on the candidate communication flows rather than the actual communication flows associated with the application processor 410, as described above for the predicted power consumption determination for the "no power saving feature" configuration.

[0093] like Figure 5As further shown, at 510, the modem 415 may provide an indication of an estimated power consumption of the modem 415 to the application processor 410. The modem 415 may provide the indication of the estimated power consumption in a power consumption report. The modem 415 may provide the indication of the estimated power consumption to the application processor 410 via the API 430. As indicated above, the estimated power consumption may include a total estimated power consumption of the modem 415, a per-flow estimated power consumption (e.g., power consumption for a particular communication flow associated with an application), a predicted power consumption for a candidate or suggested communication flow, and / or another type of power consumption associated with the modem 415, and the like.

[0094] The modem 415 may provide the power consumption report (and the indication of the estimated power consumption included therein) in a periodic manner, a semi-periodic manner, an aperiodic manner, and / or an event-triggered manner (e.g., based at least in part on the occurrence of an event). In some aspects, the modem 415 determines a report type for the power consumption report. In some aspects, the application processor 410 determines a report type for the power consumption report and provides an indication of the report type to the modem 415 via the API 430. In these aspects, the modem 415 may provide the power consumption report (and the indication of the estimated power consumption included therein) in a periodic manner, a semi-periodic manner, an aperiodic manner, and / or an event-triggered manner based at least in part on the indication of the report type.

[0095] For periodic, semi-periodic and event-triggered reporting, the period “T_” may be provided by the application processor 410 to the modem 415 via the API 430. report ”. The period may be indicated as a time unit (eg, in milliseconds or another time unit).

[0096] For event-triggered reporting, the application processor 410 may provide one or more event trigger parameters to the modem 415 via the API 430. In some aspects, these event trigger parameters include "Thresh _powerConsumption_report ” parameter, which may include a threshold value to which the estimated power consumption is compared. Here, the modem 415 may determine, at least in part, that the magnitude of the estimated power consumption satisfies the “Thresh _powerConsumption_report " threshold to provide an indication of estimated power consumption.

[0097] In some aspects, the event trigger parameters include "Thresh _txPower_report ” parameter, which may include a threshold value to which the average transmit power of UE 120 is compared. Here, modem 415 may determine, at least in part, that the magnitude of the average transmit power of UE 120 satisfies “Thresh _txPower_report" threshold to provide an indication of estimated power consumption.

[0098] In some aspects, the event trigger parameters include "Condition _report " parameter, which may include one or more conditions that the modem 415 considers for reporting. Here, the modem 415 may provide an indication of the estimated power consumption based at least in part on determining that at least one of the conditions is met. Examples of conditions include power consumption, transmit power, at least one of power consumption or transmit power, or both power consumption and transmit power.

[0099] For example, the modem 415 may determine that the estimated power consumption is greater than or equal to the Threshold. _powerConsumption_report "Threshold value to provide an indication of the estimated power consumption. For another example, the modem 415 may be based at least in part on determining that the average transmit power of the UE 120 is greater than or equal to "Thresh _txPower_report "Threshold to provide an indication of the estimated power consumption. For another example, the modem 415 may provide an indication of the estimated power consumption based at least in part on determining at least one of the following: the estimated power consumption is greater than or equal to "Thresh _powerConsumption_report "Threshold, or the average transmit power of UE 120 is greater than or equal to "Thresh _txPower_report "Threshold. For another example, the modem 415 may provide an indication of the estimated power consumption based at least in part on determining two of the following: the estimated power consumption is greater than or equal to "Thresh _powerConsumption_report "Thresh _txPower_report " threshold.

[0100] In some aspects, the event trigger parameters include a combination of the above parameters. In these aspects, the UE 120 may provide an indication of the estimated power consumption based at least in part on determining that one or more of the event trigger parameters are met. In some aspects, when one or more of the event trigger parameters are met, the modem 415 continues to provide an indication of the estimated power consumption at each reporting period T_ report 'Providing a periodic indication of the estimated power consumption, and ceasing to provide the indication of the estimated power consumption based at least in part on determining that one or more of the event trigger parameters are no longer satisfied.

[0101] For periodic reporting, the application processor 410 may provide a periodic reporting configuration to the modem 415 (eg, via the API 430). The periodic reporting configuration may indicate a reporting period T_ for providing a periodic indication of the estimated power consumption of the modem 415. reportOnce the power consumption report is generated and available after receiving the periodic reporting configuration, the modem 415 can report the estimated power consumption to the application processor 410. The modem 415 can report the estimated power consumption to the application processor 410 every T_ report The reporting period continues to provide periodic power consumption reports (eg, including periodic indications of estimated power consumption of the modem 415).

[0102] For semi-periodic reporting, the application processor 410 may provide (e.g., via the API 430) a report request that activates semi-periodic reporting of the estimated power consumption of the modem 415. Once the power consumption report is generated and available after receiving the report request to activate semi-periodic reporting from the application processor 410, the modem 415 may report the estimated power consumption to the application processor 410. The modem 415 may continue to report the estimated power consumption every “T_ report ” Provide periodic power consumption reports (e.g., including periodic indications of estimated power consumption of modem 415) until application processor 410 provides a report cancel request to modem 415 (e.g., via API 430).

[0103] For aperiodic reporting, the application processor 410 may provide (e.g., via the API 430) a report request that activates aperiodic reporting of the estimated power consumption for the modem 415. Once the power consumption report is generated and available after receiving the report request to activate aperiodic reporting from the application processor 410, the modem 415 may report the estimated power consumption to the application processor 410. However, unlike the semi-periodic reporting described above, the estimated power consumption is a "one-time" power consumption report in that the modem 415 does not provide additional indications of additional estimated power consumption until another report request is received from the application processor 410 via the API 430.

[0104] The format of the indication of estimated power consumption (and / or a power consumption report including an indication of estimated power consumption) may be an absolute or explicit indication of estimated power consumption and / or a relative or implicit indication of estimated power consumption. The absolute or explicit indication of estimated power consumption may be an indication of actual estimated power consumption expressed in power units (e.g., milliwatts (mW)). For these types of reports, each modem activity as used in determining the estimated power consumption may be assigned an absolute value expressed in power units, which may be modem specific.

[0105] A relative or implicit indication of the estimated power consumption may be an indication of the estimated power consumption expressed in relative units. In other words, the estimated power consumption may be indicated relative to a set value expressed in power units. For example, if the estimated power consumption is 300 mW and the set value is 250 mW, the estimated power consumption may be implicitly indicated as 50 mW relative to the set value of 250 mW. The power units and / or set values ​​may be defined in a wireless communication standard (such as 3GPP TR38.840 in Tables 18 to 21), or may be any specific implementation specific units. For these types of reports, each modem activity as used in the estimated power consumption determination may be assigned a relative value.

[0106] In some cases, the estimated power consumption of the modem 415 may be highly dependent on the path loss between the UE 120 and the application server 405 (and / or between the UE 120 and the wireless network 100) and / or the transmit power of the UE 120. Therefore, in addition to estimating the power consumption, the modem 415 may also provide an indication of the path loss and / or transmit power to the application processor 410 via the API 430. The reported path loss and / or the reported transmit power may include the path loss and / or the transmit power reported in the last period "T_ calc "The average value determined on .

[0107] As indicated above, the modem 415 may determine a per-stream estimated power consumption, which may include an estimated power consumption for a particular communication flow (or a particular logical channel) associated with an application. The per-stream estimated power consumption may represent a contribution of the particular communication flow (or a particular logical channel) to the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415. The per-stream estimated power consumption may be indicated as a percentage of the total estimated power consumption, a ratio of the per-stream estimated power consumption to the total estimated power consumption, or in another suitable manner.

[0108] The per-flow estimated power consumption may be used by application processor 410 to decide on techniques for reducing power consumption of modem 415. For example, if the total estimated power consumption is too large, application processor 410 may reduce the throughput of the communication flow of the associated application that contributes most to the total estimated power consumption of modem 415.

[0109] The per-stream estimated power consumption determination and reporting may be controlled by the application processor 410. For example, the application processor 410 may provide a per-stream reporting configuration to the modem 415 via the API 430. The per-stream reporting configuration may indicate the communication streams for which the modem 415 is to determine and report per-stream estimated power consumption, the reporting type (e.g., periodic, aperiodic, semi-periodic, event-triggered) for the communication streams, and / or another parameter of the communication streams. In some aspects, the modem 415 may report per-stream estimated power consumption to the application processor 410 via the API 430 in addition to and / or in lieu of the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415.

[0110] As indicated above, the modem 415 may determine a predicted power consumption, which may include power consumption determined for a candidate or suggested communication flow associated with an application (e.g., a communication flow that is not currently used by the application and may or may not be used by the application in the future). In other words, the predicted power consumption represents a prediction of the power consumption of the modem 415 under a particular traffic configuration (e.g., if the throughput of the communication flow is divided by 2).

[0111] The predicted power consumption for the candidate communication flow can be used by the application processor 410 to make decisions regarding techniques that the application processor 410 can use to reduce the power consumption of the modem 415 for the application. For example, if the total estimated power consumption of the modem 415 is too large, the application processor 410 can use the predicted power consumption to determine the types of modifications that can be made to the communication flow to reduce the power consumption of the modem 415 without actually having to change the communication flow first. In this way, if the throughput is reduced and / or one or more other parameters of the communication flow are changed, the application processor 410 can estimate or predict the power savings for a given set of communication flow modifications.

[0112] For the predicted power consumption of the modem 415, the modem 415 may determine the predicted power consumption in a manner similar to that described above, except that instead of using the actual traffic and associated parameters for the communication flow, "specific" traffic is used to determine the dwell time and other power consumption parameters for the communication flow. At any time, the application processor 410 may configure a list of specific traffic (and may provide the list to the modem 415 via the API 430) for use in determining the predicted power consumption. Whenever the modem 415 reports the total estimated power consumption, the modem 415 may also include a predicted power consumption list determined from the most recent list of specific traffic as configured by the application processor 410.

[0113] In this manner, the modem 415 may determine an estimated power consumption of the modem 415 , may generate a power consumption report indicating the estimated power consumption, and may report the power consumption report to the application processor 410 via the API 430 .

[0114] In some aspects, the modem 415 may be configured to receive a time signal based on a period “T_” provided by the application processor 410. calc ” (expressed in time units) to periodically calculate the estimated power consumption. In some aspects, the modem 415 can calculate the power consumption based on the modem activity in two different ways: (1) every “T_ calc ", the modem 415 can be at the end of "T _calc_slots "T" time slots (eg, non-overlapping windows); and (2) at each time unit, the modem 415 may _calc_slots "T " time slots (eg, sliding windows) during which the activity of the modem 415 is tracked. In some aspects, the modem 415 may maintain a database of power numbers of all contributors to the estimated power consumption of the modem 415. In some aspects, the estimated power consumption determined by the modem 415 may include the power consumption of the last "T _calc_slots " timeslot. In some aspects, the estimated power consumption contribution of each modem activity may include the product of the dwell time of the activity and the power consumption of the activity. In some aspects, the modem 415 may calculate the "total" power consumption, the "per-stream" power consumption, and / or the "predicted" power consumption of the modem 415.

[0115] In some aspects, the modem 415 can report the estimated power consumption in a periodic, semi-periodic, aperiodic, or event-triggered manner. In some aspects, the application processor 410 (e.g., via the API 430) provides the modem 415 with a period “T_” that will be used for periodic, semi-periodic, and event-triggered reporting. report In some aspects, the application processor 410 provides the modem 415 with the conditions for reporting and the threshold value "Thresh _powerConsumption_report ” and “Thresh _txPower_report ”.

[0116] In some aspects, the total estimated power consumption may be in an absolute format (e.g., mW) or a relative format. In some aspects, in addition to the total estimated power consumption, the modem 415 may also report the path loss and transmit power of the UE 120. In some aspects, the modem 415 may report a "per stream" estimated power consumption, which may include an indication of the contribution of the communication stream to the total estimated power consumption. The "per stream" estimated power consumption (or its parameters) may be controlled by the application processor 410. In some aspects, the modem 415 may report a "predicted" power consumption list, each of which is a prediction of the power consumption of the modem 415 under a specific service. The "predicted" power consumption report and the specific service list to be used for the prediction may be controlled and / or indicated by the application processor 410.
