Voice state assisted frame early termination
First Claim
1. A method for reducing power consumption during a voice communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication;
determining, based at least on the received plurality of frames, whether a frame pattern corresponds to a first frame pattern indicating a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period and a second frame pattern indicating continuation of the non-speech period, wherein the first frame pattern includes a first silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame followed by one or more null frames and the second frame pattern includes a second SID frame followed by seven null frames; and
disabling a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a null frame of the second frame pattern.

Abstract
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for reducing power consumption during a voice communication in a user equipment (UE). For example, the method may include receiving a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication. Further, such an example method may include determining whether a frame pattern based at least on the received plurality of frames corresponds to a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period, and disabling a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a frame associated with the non-speech period. As such, the power consumption in a UE may be reduced.

1. A method for reducing power consumption during a voice communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
receiving a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication; determining, based at least on the received plurality of frames, whether a frame pattern corresponds to a first frame pattern indicating a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period and a second frame pattern indicating continuation of the non-speech period, wherein the first frame pattern includes a first silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame followed by one or more null frames and the second frame pattern includes a second SID frame followed by seven null frames; and disabling a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a null frame of the second frame pattern. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

11. An apparatus for reducing power consumption during a voice communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
means for receiving a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication; means for determining, based at least on the received plurality of frames, whether a frame pattern corresponds to a first frame pattern indicating a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period and a second frame pattern indicating continuation of the non-speech period, wherein the first frame pattern includes a first silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame followed by one or more null frames and the second frame pattern includes a second SID frame followed by seven null frames; and means for disabling a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a null frame associated with of the second frame pattern. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code for reducing power consumption during a voice communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
code for receiving a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication; code for determining, based at least on the received plurality of frames, whether a frame patterns corresponds to a first frame pattern indicating a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period and a second frame pattern indicating continuation of the non-speech period, wherein the first frame pattern includes a first silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame followed by one or more null frames and the second frame pattern includes a second SID frame followed by seven null frames; and code for disabling a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a null of the second frame pattern. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for reducing power consumption during a voice communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
-
a receiver to receive a plurality of frames associated with the voice communication; a voice decoder to determine, based at least on the received plurality of frames, whether a frame pattern corresponds to a first frame pattern indicating a transition from a speech burst period to a non-speech period and a second frame pattern indicating continuation of the non-speech period, wherein the first frame pattern includes a first silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame followed by one or more null frames and the second frame pattern includes a second SID frame followed by seven null frames; and a receiver power control module to disable a portion of a receiver subsystem at the UE for at least a portion of a null frame of the second frame pattern. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26)
