UE-assisted management of advanced radio link features
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- determining, at a base station, that a mobile entity is capable of communicating with the base station via a radio access technology (RAT) using a set of radio link configurations for the RAT;
receiving, from a mobile entity at the base station, a request to restrict use of at least one of the radio link configurations for the RAT;
determining, at the base station, that the request can be granted based on at least one system parameter at the base station; and
after determining that the request can be granted, serving the RAT to the mobile entity by restricting use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for communicating with the mobile entity, based on the request.

Abstract
UE-assisted management of advanced radio link feature in a wireless communication network may include a network entity determining that a mobile entity is capable of communicating with one or more base stations using a set of radio link configurations, receiving a request from the mobile entity to restrict use of at least one of the radio link configurations, and restricting use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for communicating with the mobile entity, based on the request. The request may indicate a reason for the restriction, and the network entity may determine whether to restrict based on the reason. Once a radio link configuration is restricted, it may similarly be unrestricted based on a subsequent UE request, or based on expiration of a time period.

9. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
-
means for determining that a mobile entity is capable of communicating with the apparatus via a radio access technology (RAT) using a set of radio link configurations; means for receiving, from the mobile entity, a request to restrict use of at least one of the radio link configurations for the RAT; means for determining that the request can be granted based on at least one system parameter for the apparatus; and means for serving the RAT to the mobile entity by restricting use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for communicating with the mobile entity after determining that the request can be granted, based on the request.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising:
-
code for causing at least one computer associated with at least one base station to determine that a mobile entity is capable of communicating with a base station via a radio access technology (RAT) using a set of radio link configurations; code for causing the at least one computer to receive, from the mobile entity, a request to restrict use of at least one of the radio link configurations for the RAT; code for causing the at least one computer to determine that the request can be granted based on at least one system parameter at the base station; and code for causing the at least one computer to serve the radio link to the mobile entity by restricting use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for communicating with the mobile entity after determining that the request can be granted, based on the request.

19. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
-
determining, at a mobile entity capable of communicating with at least one base station via a radio access technology (RAT) using a set of radio link configurations, that use of at least one of the radio link configurations should be restricted; sending, to a base station, a request to restrict use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for the RAT; receiving, at the mobile entity from the base station, an indication from the base station indicating whether or not the base station is granting the request; and communicating with the base station using the RAT, wherein use of the at least one of the radio link configurations for the RAT is restricted, based on the request, responsive to the indication indicating that the base station is granting the request. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
