Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for opportunistically depowering receiver chains of a wireless device. Based on control information, a device may determine whether the current number of active receiver chains can be reduced while maintaining a target achievable code rate for a period of data reception associated with the control information. Additionally, the device may generate and use a lookup table to determine whether to depower receiver chains, and which receiver chains to depower.

Claim (Index 8):
A user equipment device (UE) configured for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communications, comprising:\n a plurality of receiver chains configured to receive MIMO communications; a non-transitory computer-readable memory medium; and a processor coupled to the plurality of receiver chains and the memory medium, wherein the processor, the memory medium, and the plurality of receiver chains are configured to:\n receive a control message; \n decode the control message; \n determine a number of MIMO layers based on the control message; \n determine a number of active receiver chains of the plurality of receiver chains; \n determine that the number of active receiver chains is greater than the number of MIMO layers; \n select at least one active receiver chain to power off in response to the determination that the number of active receiver chains is greater than the number of MIMO layers; \n power off the at least one receiver chain based on the selection, wherein a first subset of the active receiver chains is not powered off; and \n receive data using the first subset of the active receiver chains.
