Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) collects system information blocks (SIBs) in two phases so the UE can select a target cell to fall back on for a circuit switched fall back (CSFB) call. During the first phase, the UE collects short-period SIBs indicating location IDs for the top N cells corresponding to N strongest frequencies from a frequency list in a redirection command. If the UE finds a cell with a location ID matching the location ID in a previous combined registration, and the synchronization channel quality of the cell exceeds a threshold, the UE selects the cell as the target cell. The UE stops collecting short-period SIBs for other cells. During the second phase, the UE collects mandatory long-period SIBs for the selected target cell only. This reduces potential CSFB call setup latency by avoiding a location area update procedure before circuit switched voice call establishment in a 2G/3G network.
Abstract:
The present methods and apparatus relate to interference mitigation at a user equipment during wireless communication, comprising determining that a first portion of a first radio access technology (RAT) activity scheduled during a first time slot overlaps in duration with a second portion of a second RAT activity scheduled during a second time slot; excluding the first portion of the first RAT activity based at least in part on determining that the first portion of the first RAT activity overlaps in duration with the second portion of the second RAT activity; and performing a non-overlap portion of the first RAT activity during the first time slot, wherein the non-overlap portion of the first RAT activity is a portion of the first RAT activity that remains after excluding of the first portion of the first RAT activity.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) in a high speed state returns back to a frequency on a dedicated network (e.g., LTE) or a different frequency after a circuit switched fallback call is released from another network based on a signal quality of the frequency on the dedicated network. In one instance, it is determined whether the UE is in a high speed state. Based on the determination, the UE searches a selected frequency and/or inter-frequency neighbors, when attempting to return to the dedicated network from a second RAT after a circuit switched fallback (CSFB) call is released from the second RAT.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) measures a signal quality of a serving cell and/or a signal quality of one or more cell reselection target cells. The UE reduces latency of circuit switched fallback (CSFB) procedure when a cell reselection from a first RAT to a second RAT is concurrently triggered. In one instance, the UE reduces latency by determining whether to abort a cell reselection procedure based on a signal quality of a serving cell and/or a signal quality of at least one cell reselection target cell, when a circuit switched fall back call has been triggered.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication facilitates fast return to a LTE network after circuit-switched fallback occurs. A redirection command is received from a first RAT falling back to a second RAT. The redirection command includes idle mode mobility information and includes a priority level for a list of frequencies associated with the first RAT. Frequencies of the first RAT are searched based on priority levels in the idle mode mobility information of the redirection command. The UE returns to a cell detected in a frequency of the first RAT when a signal strength of the cell is above a threshold value.
Abstract:
User equipment (UE) based pseudo-reselection occurs from a first wireless cell to a second wireless cell. A UE autonomously discovers candidate reselection frequencies and autonomously sets reselection thresholds. The UE perform cell reselection based on the discovered candidate cell reselection frequencies and the autonomously set thresholds.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of wireless communication schedules at least one grant to a user equipment (UE) with adjusted transmission time interval (TTI) spacing. The TTI spacing enabling the UE to perform inter radio access technology (IRAT) and/or inter frequency measurements. The scheduling is based at least in part on a serving cell signal quality reported by the UE and/or on the availability to the UE of a higher priority network or higher quality frequency.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) receives a connection release message from a serving base station of a first radio access technology (RAT), without redirection information. The connection release message is received during a circuit switched fall back procedure from the first RAT to a second RAT. The UE redirects to the second RAT based on redirection history.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) reduces delays associated with returning to a first radio access technology (RAT) after redirection to a second RAT. The UE moves from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT to permit a circuit switched (CS) call. When the UE fails to return to the first RAT after releasing the circuit switched call on the second RAT, the UE establishes a first packet switched (PS) call on the second RAT. The first packet switched call may be triggered by a background application. The UE periodically suspends communications during the first packet switched call on the second RAT. The UE creates a forced measurement gap during suspension of the first packet switched call in the second RAT to monitor the first RAT and returns to the first RAT to resume the first packet switched call when the monitoring detects a cell in the first RAT.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) reduces random access procedure delays when reselecting or redirecting from a cell of a first radio access technology (RAT) by preventing a persistence check before initiating the random access procedure. In one instance, the UE prevents the persistence check by preventing collection of system information including a scaling factor used for the persistence check before initiating the random access procedure.
