Systems and methods for determining a configuration for a wireless device

摘要

Systems and methods related to reducing a cost of operation and/or manufacture of wireless devices under appropriate conditions are disclosed. In one embodiment, a wireless node in a cellular communication network determines a configuration for a wireless device. In one particular embodiment, the wireless device is a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device. The configuration includes at least one of a retransmission configuration and an advanced receiver configuration. The wireless device is then configured according to the configuration. In this way, the operation of the wireless device can be more cost efficient, particularly in terms of radio resource and energy efficiency, based on the conditions in which the wireless device is operated.
