20140095675 | MEASUREMENT CONFIGURATION AND REPORTING WITH DIVERSE TRAFFIC - A network node receiving a preference for a power optimized configuration for a user equipment (UE) can in response change the UE's minimization of drive test (MDT) configuration to conserve UE power. For example, this change can be from immediate reporting of MDT measurements to connected mode logging MDT measurements or no reporting of MDT measurements; or to a longer interval for reporting them, or to drop the reporting of available location information with MDT measurements. Other teachings have actions by the UE, autonomous of the network, to conserve power. A UE receiving a MDT configuration having an MDT measurement reporting or logging interval, and also one or both of a discontinuous reception or paging configuration having a DRX/paging interval can adapt the MDT configuration autonomously of the network to conserve its battery power. For example, the UE can change the MDT measurement reporting/logging interval to be equal to or shorter than the DRX/paging interval, or it can ignore or reject the MDT configuration. | 04-03-2014 |

20080293429 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING DEFERABLE DATA SERVICES IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A communication system, upon receiving an instruction to transfer deferrable data, determines whether an air interface is congested and, when the air interface is congested, defers a transfer of the deferrable data or transfers the deferrable, lower priority data as higher priority data. When, during a transfer of deferrable data, the system determines that the air interface is congested, the system may terminate the call and save a state of a partially completed deferred data transfer. Subsequent to the termination of the call, the system establishes another data connection over the air interface and transfers any remaining, not yet transferred deferrable data. In order to discourage subscribers from transferring higher priority data as lower priority data, the system may further restrict a transfer of lower priority data to designated time periods while allowing a transfer of higher priority data during the designated time periods and other time periods. | 11-27-2008 |
