Electronic Devices with Thermal Component Carrier Management - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18177690 titled 'Electronic Devices with Thermal Component Carrier Management
The abstract describes a user equipment device with a radio that communicates wireless data with base stations using multiple component carriers (CCs) under carrier aggregation or dual connectivity schemes. A resource manager on the radio intelligently selects a CC to drop when in a thermally-constrained state, considering factors like bandwidths, data rates, error rates, power budget, and modem information.
- User equipment device with a radio that communicates wirelessly with base stations using multiple CCs.
- Resource manager intelligently selects a CC to drop based on various factors when in a thermally-constrained state.
- Factors considered include bandwidths, data rates, error rates, power budget, and modem information.
- Dropping a CC in this manner reduces power and temperature at the radio without significant wireless performance reduction.
- This approach is more effective than blindly dropping the most recently added CC.

Original Abstract Submitted
A user equipment device may include a radio that conveys wireless data with one or more base stations using a set of component carriers (CCs) that are concurrently-active under a carrier aggregation scheme or a dual connectivity scheme. When in a thermally-constrained state, a resource manager on the radio may intelligently select a CC to drop from use in conveying the wireless data. The resource manager may select the CC to drop based on the bandwidths, data rates, error rates, and/or activation/deactivation rates of the set of CCs, a power budget assigned to the radio, and/or information about the demodulation and decoding clusters in a modem of the radio. Selecting the CC to drop in this way may provide greater power and temperature reduction at the radio and/or less wireless performance reduction than blindly dropping the most recently added CC from use in conveying the wireless data.
