Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless communications, comprising: monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), downlink (DL) signal conditions associated with a serving Node B; triggering an out-of-sync state upon a determination that the DL signal conditions have degraded beyond a DL signal quality threshold; and delaying turning off of a power amplifier (PA) associated with transmission of uplink (UL) messages for a call performance improvement threshold time duration, wherein the delaying includes setting at least a portion of data radio bearers (RBs) to zero in a radio link control (RLC) layer buffer occupancy (BO) indication while maintaining one or both of a data RB and signaling resource bearer (SRB) for transmission of one or more measurements.
