Methods and apparatus for adaptive receiver mode selection during discontinuous reception

摘要

Methods and apparatus for adaptively adjusting receiver operation during non-continuous (e.g., discontinuous) reception. In one exemplary embodiment, a user device such as a User Equipment (UE) adaptively adjusts its reception mode based on a determined actual error. The reception mode is selected so as to improve reception performance, while still minimizing overall power consumption.

1. A method for adaptively adjusting operation during non-continuous reception (DRX) of a wireless receiver, where the wireless receiver has a plurality of modes of DRX operation and where each of the plurality of modes is characterized according to at least a power consumption and a reliability, comprising:
determining a reception performance with a first mode of the plurality of modes of DRX operation during a first transmission, wherein the plurality of modes of DRX operation includes the first mode and a second mode, wherein the first mode comprises an offline mode, wherein the second mode comprises an online mode, wherein the online mode comprises real-time determination of the reception performance during a connected portion of the DRX operation, and wherein the offline mode comprising storing received data of the first transmission that is analyzed to perform the determination of the reception performance at a later time after the connected portion of the DRX operation; when reception performance is insufficient selecting the second mode of the plurality of modes of DRX operation for a subsequent transmission, the second mode having a greater reliability than the first mode; and updating the reception performance.
