Adaptive Half Duplex / Full Duplex Operation for Battery and Antenna Constrained Devices

摘要

A user equipment (UE) and network entity implement improved communication methods which enable a UE to operate using differing modes of operation without detaching from a network. The UE may send first information indicating its capabilities to the network entity and may receive a first indication based on the first information. The first indication may indicate that the UE operate according to a first mode of operation. The UE may receive a second indication based on an occurrence of a first condition detectable at the network entity. The second indication may indicate that the UE operate according to a second mode of operation different from the first mode of operation. The first condition may be an initialization of a real time data packet session for the UE or may be a first message sent by the UE in response to one or more radio conditions exceeding a threshold.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
send first information to a network entity, wherein the first information indicates capabilities of a user equipment device (UE);receive, from the network entity, a first indication based on the first information;operate according to a first mode of operation based on the first indication, wherein the first mode of operation is one of full duplex and half duplex operation;receive, from the network entity, a second indication based on an occurrence of a first condition detectable at the network entity; andswitch to a second mode of operation based on the second indication, wherein the second mode of operation is different from the first mode of operation, and wherein the second mode of operation is one of full duplex and half duplex operation.
