DYNAMIC FREQUENCY SELECTION PROCEDURES IN WIRELESS MODEMS
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying, at a user equipment (UE), at least one of a current operating frequency of the UE, a mode of operation of the UE, or a wireless network associated with the UE;
determining whether the UE is operating in a dynamic frequency selection (DFS) channel based on the at least one of the current operating frequency of the UE, the mode of operation of the UE, or the wireless network associated with the UE; and
configuring the UE to dynamically enable or disable a DFS procedure based on the determining.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system, method, and apparatus for implementing an intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) procedure that avoids unnecessary scanning of an unlicensed or shared spectrum, and hence offers efficient power utilization for user equipments (UEs). In one aspect, one or more UEs may periodically identify at least one of a current operating frequency, a mode of operation, and the public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the UE to determine whether the UE is operating in a DFS channel. Based on the above-identified factors, the UE may determine whether the UE is actively scheduling uplink data transmission on the DFS channel, and thus dynamically enable or disable the DFS scanning procedures on the unlicensed or shared spectrum.
