DYNAMIC FREQUENCY SELECTION PROCEDURES IN WIRELESS MODEMS

摘要

Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system, method, and apparatus for implementing an intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) procedure that avoids unnecessary scanning of an unlicensed or shared spectrum, and hence offers efficient power utilization for user equipments (UEs). In one aspect, one or more UEs may periodically identify at least one of a current operating frequency, a mode of operation, and the public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the UE to determine whether the UE is operating in a DFS channel. Based on the above-identified factors, the UE may determine whether the UE is actively scheduling uplink data transmission on the DFS channel, and thus dynamically enable or disable the DFS scanning procedures on the unlicensed or shared spectrum.
