Abstract:
Performing data communications by a Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) user equipment (UE), while simultaneously conducting two concurrent voice calls. The UE may receive a request to perform data communications while conducting a first voice call on a first radio and concurrently conducting a second voice call on a second radio. The UE may then determine whether one of the voice calls is currently on hold. The UE may perform the data communications using the radio on which the held call is being conducted. The UE may therefore dynamically select available slots from the first radio and the second radio for performing the data communication, based on which of the first radio and the second radio has a voice call that is currently on hold. In some embodiments, the data communications may be performed using a Long Term Evolution (LTE) protocol stack.
Abstract:
Operating a UE device having a radio configured to communicate using a first and second RAT. The UE may determine whether page decoding or other cycle conflicts (e.g., DRX cycle conflicts) are present or will occur for the first and second RAT. Upon determining a conflict, e.g., prior to the occurrence of the conflict, such as during a previous cycle, the second RAT operations may be performed at the time of the conflict and the first RAT operations may be delayed to a later time (e.g., a next cycle of the first RAT).
Abstract:
Performing selective tune-away by a user equipment (UE). The UE may include a first radio that is configurable to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The UE may use the radio to communicate using the first RAT and the second RAT using the first radio. The UE may perform handover for the first RAT. During handover, the UE may perform a page decoding for the second RAT, but may not perform (e.g., may block) neighbor cell detection for the second RAT during the handover of the first RAT. After completion of the handover, the UE may perform neighbor cell detection for the second RAT.
Abstract:
Cell re-selection in a device configured to operate according to multiple cellular communication protocols. The device may operate according to a first cellular communication protocol at a first time, which may include attaching to a first cell. The device may operate according to a second cellular communication protocol at a second time. Operations according to the first cellular communication protocol may be suspended while operating according to the second cellular communication protocol. The device may attempt to resume operating according to the first cellular communication protocol at a third time. This may include measuring one or more of signal strength or signal quality of the first cell. The wireless device may select a cell to which to attach at the third time based at least in part on the measured signal strength and signal quality of the first cell.
Abstract:
A method for adaptively disabling receiver diversity is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining an active data traffic pattern; defining a threshold channel quality metric based at least in part on a threshold channel quality needed to support a threshold quality of service for the active data traffic pattern; comparing a measured channel quality to the threshold channel quality metric; and disabling receiver diversity in an instance in which the measured channel quality metric satisfies the threshold channel quality metric.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry of a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device establishes a connection to a first wireless network using first and second receiving signaling chains. In response to detecting a radio frequency tune-away event, the wireless communication device reconfigures only one of the radio frequency signaling chains to receive signals from a second wireless network when a set of receive signal conditions for the second wireless network is satisfied. The wireless communication device reconfigures both of the radio frequency signaling chains to the second wireless network when the set of receive signal conditions is not satisfied.
Abstract:
Performing wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) device communicating with a first wireless network and a second wireless network using a single radio. The UE device may receive a page message directed to the UE device from the first wireless network. In response to receiving the page message, the UE device may provide an extended service request (ESR) message to the second wireless network. After providing the ESR message, the UE device may respond to the page message on the first wireless network.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to performing implicit radio resource control state transitions in a cellular communication system. A wireless device may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a cellular base station. A data inactivity timer length and a target RRC state for implicit RRC transitions may be determined. A data inactivity timer having the determined data inactivity timer length may be initiated. It may be determined that the data inactivity timer has expired. The wireless device may transition to the target RRC state based at least in part on determining that the data inactivity timer has expired.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for supporting narrowband device-to-device wireless communication, including possible techniques for performing discovery in an off grid radio system. According to some embodiments, a wireless device may determine a number of synchronization signal repetitions to use for a narrowband device-to-device transmission. The wireless device may perform the transmission, including transmitting the determined number of synchronization signal repetitions. The transmission may include an indication of the number of synchronization signal repetitions used in the transmission.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to perform low latency communication using historical beam information. The wireless device may establish a radio resource control connection, and may subsequently release the resource control connection. The wireless device may store antenna element and beam information for the resource control connection. The wireless device may determine whether to use the stored antenna element and beam information when establishing another radio resource control connection. If the wireless device determines to do so, the wireless device may use the stored antenna element and beam information when establishing that radio resource control connection.
