Improved packet-switched wireless communication for wireless devices with limited power transmission balance

Abstract

Method for operating a user equipment (UE), comprising: indicating to a cellular base station that the UE has a limited power transfer balance; providing configuration information to the cellular base station via an index value during a Random Access Channel (RACH) communication, wherein the configuration information specifies a set of one or more parameter values ​​intended to provide enhanced performance for a limited power transfer balance device, the one or more parameter values ​​being usable for configuring the UE; and receiving communication from the cellular base station based on the set of one or more parameter values.
