Abstract

A method and apparatus for controlling a modem of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes generating at least one modem control information determined based on information related to a wireless communication environment, when at least a portion of the wireless communication environment is changed, updating a priority stored in a database of the UE based on the changed wireless communication environment and controlling the modem of the UE using the priority-updated modem control information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for controlling a modem by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining whether a wireless communication environment is changed based on information related to the wireless communication environment;
if the wireless communication environment is changed, updating a priority of modem control information for each wireless communication environment stored in the UE based on the changed wireless communication environment;
identifying modem control information corresponding to the changed wireless communication environment based on the updated priority; and
controlling the modem of the UE using the identified modem control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the wireless communication environment comprises at least one of time information, position information on the UE, cell identity information corresponding to the UE, per-cell signal strength, frequency offset, timing offset, channel state information (CSI), interference information, and downlink configuration information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the priority of the modem control information for each wireless communication environment includes changing a priority of first modem control information, among the modem control information for each wireless communication environment, with a priority of second modem control information corresponding to the changed wireless communication environment, among the modem control information for each wireless communication environment.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modem control information for each wireless communication environment is classified based on at least one of time information and position information of the UE.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified modem control information includes at least one of a parameter for controlling a modulator/demodulator modulating or demodulating a received signal, a parameter for controlling a channel estimator, and a parameter for performing sync with a base station.

6. A method for controlling a modem by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting information related to a changed wireless communication environment of the UE to a central management server;
receiving modem control information corresponding to the changed wireless communication environment from the central management server; and
controlling the modem of the UE using the received modem control information,
wherein a priority of modem control information for each wireless communication environment stored in the central management server is updated based on the changed wireless communication environment, and
wherein the received modem control information is identified based on the updated priority.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information related to the changed wireless communication environment comprises at least one of time information, position information on the UE, cell identity information corresponding to the UE, per-cell signal strength, frequency offset, timing offset, channel state information (CSI), interference information, and downlink configuration information.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein a priority of first modem control information, among the modem control information for each wireless communication environment, with a priority of the received modem control information corresponding to the changed wireless communication environment.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the modem control information for each wireless communication environment is classified based on at least one of time information and position information of UE.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the received modem control information includes at least one of a parameter for controlling a modulator/demodulator modulating or demodulating a received signal, a parameter for controlling a channel estimator, and a parameter for performing sync with a base station.

11. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a modem;
a transceiver configured to transmit information related to a changed wireless communication environment of the UE to a central management server, and receive modem control information corresponding to changed wireless communication environment from the central management server; and
a processor configured to control the modem using the received modem control information,
wherein a priority of modem control information for each wireless communication environment stored in the central management server is updated based on the changed wireless communication environment, and
wherein the received modem control information is identified based on the updated priority.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the information related to the changed wireless communication environment comprises at least one of time information, position information on the UE, cell identity information corresponding to the UE, per-cell signal strength, frequency offset, timing offset, channel state information (CSI), interference information, and downlink configuration information.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the received modem control information includes at least one of a parameter for controlling a modulator/demodulator modulating or demodulating a received signal, a parameter for controlling a channel estimator, and a parameter for performing sync with a base station.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein a priority of first modem control information, among the modem control information for each wireless communication environment, is changed with a priority of the received modem control information corresponding to the changed wireless communication environment.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the modem control information for each wireless communication environment is classified based on at least one of time information and position information of the UE.
