REDUCING CALL DROPS IN UPLINK POWER LIMITED SCENARIOS

摘要

A method for reducing call drops in uplink power limited scenarios is disclosed. The method can include a wireless communication device determining that the wireless communication device is experiencing an uplink power limited condition in which a transmission power of the wireless communication device is limited to a level below a power class level of the wireless communication device. The method can further include defining a downlink power threshold for sending a measurement report for triggering a handover based on the uplink power limited condition. The downlink power threshold can be higher than a threshold configured by a serving base station. The method can additionally include determining based on measured downlink power that the calculated downlink power threshold is satisfied and sending a measurement report for triggering a handover to the serving base station in response to the downlink power threshold being satisfied.

1. A method for reducing call drops in uplink power limited scenarios, the method comprising:
by a wireless communication device: determining that the wireless communication device is experiencing an uplink power limited condition in which an uplink transmission power of the wireless communication device is limited to not exceed a level below a power class level of the wireless communication device; and internally signaling an indication of the uplink power limited condition to one or more of a transport layer or an application layer of the wireless communication device to slow an arrival of data for uplink transmission in response to the uplink power limited condition.
