Abstract

A method, system, computer readable storage medium, or apparatus provides for receiving a first message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the first message comprises an indication of one or more conditions, wherein the one or more conditions comprises an indication that the UE has a radio mode that comprises new radio (NR); determining a required idle period for long term evolution (LTE) for the UE; determining, based on the first message and the required idle period for LTE, a transmission time interval (TTI) for NR that corresponds to the required idle period for LTE; and sending, to the UE, a second message, wherein the second message comprises an indication of the TTI for NR.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method comprising:
receiving a message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the message includes an indication of one or more conditions of the UE, and wherein the one or more conditions includes an indication that the UE has a radio mode that includes new radio (NR) and long-term evolution (LTE), and a threshold power level has been reached;
based on the indication of the one or more conditions of the UE, selecting a power priority scheme in which NR physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication is assigned more power than LTE physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication and NR PUSCH communication; and
sending, to the UE, a command message, wherein the command message includes an indication of the power priority scheme.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the LTE PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUCCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the LTE PUSCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the LTE PUSCH.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the command message is broadcast to a plurality of UEs that have the same model number or other identifier.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising executing the power priority scheme by the UE.

8. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
obtaining a message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the message includes an indication of one or more conditions of the UE, and wherein the one or more conditions includes an indication that the UE has a radio mode that includes new radio (NR) and long-term evolution (LTE), and a threshold power level has been reached;
based on the indication of the one or more conditions of the UE, selecting a power priority scheme in which NR physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication is assigned more power than LTE physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication and NR PUSCH communication; and
sending, to the UE, a command message, wherein the command message includes an indication of the power priority scheme.

9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that LTE PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUCCH.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the LTE PUSCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

12. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the LTE PUSCH.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the command message is broadcast to a plurality of UEs that have the same model number or other identifier.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the power priority scheme is executed by the UE.

15. A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a message from a user equipment (UE), wherein the message includes an indication of one or more conditions of the UE, and wherein the one or more conditions includes an indication that the UE has a radio mode that includes new radio (NR) and long-term evolution (LTE), and a threshold power level has been reached;
based on the indication of the one or more conditions of the UE, selecting a power priority scheme in which NR physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication is assigned more power than LTE physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) communication and NR PUSCH communication; and
providing a command message for the UE, wherein the command message includes an indication of the power priority scheme.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that LTE PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUCCH.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the LTE PUSCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the NR PUSCH.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the power priority scheme indicates that the NR PUCCH is of a higher priority than the LTE PUSCH.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the command message is broadcast to a plurality of UEs that have the same model number or other identifier.
