Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for use case aware network traffic shaping techniques for power reduction. An AR device may align a set of transmission periodicities associated with a set of transmission types to a common periodicity corresponding to a master transmission type of the set of transmission types based on a modification to at least one transmission periodicity of the set of transmission periodicities. A UE may align a set of transmission periodicities associated with a set of transmission types to a common periodicity, where a packet size associated with a transmission type may be based on a latency threshold associated with the transmission type. The UE may buffer one or more transmissions of a set of transmissions corresponding to the set of transmission types prior to performing packetization associated with at least one transmission.
