METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ADJUST TRANSMIT POWER HEADROOM FOR A SECONDARY LINK WHILE OPERATING IN A NON-STANDALONE MODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18266204 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ADJUST TRANSMIT POWER HEADROOM FOR A SECONDARY LINK WHILE OPERATING IN A NON-STANDALONE MODE

Simplified Explanation

    • Explanation:**

The patent application discloses apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for adjusting transmit power headroom for a secondary link while operating in an NSA mode. It describes a method for wireless communication at a UE, where the UE can transmit data to a first base station via a first access link or to a second base station via a second access link. The method involves determining maximum uplink transmit power for transmissions using the first access link and adjusting this power based on uplink transmissions during an evaluation window.

    • Potential Applications:**

- Wireless communication systems - Multi-connectivity modes in mobile devices - Network slicing in 5G networks

    • Problems Solved:**

- Efficient power management in multi-connectivity modes - Optimizing transmit power for different access links - Enhancing overall network performance

    • Benefits:**

- Improved data transmission reliability - Enhanced network capacity utilization - Better quality of service for users


Original Abstract Submitted

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for adjusting transmit power headroom for a secondary link while operating in an NSA mode are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a UE includes receiving a request to enter a multi-connectivity mode in which the UE is able to transmit data to a first base station via a first access link or to a second base station via a second access link. The example method also includes determining a first maximum uplink transmit power for transmissions using the first access link. Additionally, the example method includes determining a second maximum uplink transmit power for transmissions using the first access link based on uplink transmissions transmitted during an evaluation window. The example method also includes transmitting, via the first access link, at least one uplink transmission based on the second maximum uplink transmit power.
