Apparatus and method for reducing UE's power consumption by controlling early decoding boundary

摘要

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for reducing UE's power consumption by controlling early decoding boundary. In one aspect, a UE is configured to receive a data or voice frame from a base station. The UE selects one or more quality metrics for determining decoding boundary of the received frame and computes the selected one or more quality metrics. The UE then determines a decoding boundary for the frame based on one or more computed quality metrics. The UE then decodes the received frames at the determined decoding boundary and determines whether the decoding of the frame was successful. If the early decoding of the frame was successful, the UE may terminate reception of the frame. If the early decoding of the frame was unsuccessful, the UE may adjust the decoding boundary and decodes the frame at the adjusted boundary.

主权项

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), a data or voice frame from a base station; selecting one or more quality metrics for determining a decoding boundary of the received frame; computing the selected one or more quality metrics; determining the decoding boundary for the received frame based on the one or more computed quality metrics; decoding the received frame at the determined decoding boundary; determining whether the decoding of the received frame was successful;
when the decoding was successful, terminating reception of the rest of the received frame; andwhen the decoding was unsuccessful, adjusting the decoding boundary and decoding the received frame at the adjusted decoding boundary.
