Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes delaying transmission of a first RAT measurement report, when a first time to trigger (TTT) timer for a first RAT expires, until a second TTT timer of a second RAT expires or resets. The method may include transmitting a second RAT measurement report when the second TTT timer expires. The method may also include transmitting the first measurement report when the second TTT timer resets and the first TTT timer is active.
Abstract:
In a method of wireless communication, a base station receives, from a network device, a periodic interference measurement report corresponding to each of a plurality of downlink time slots within a subframe. The base station also receives a serving cell signal quality reported from a user equipment (UE). The base station schedules a number of downlink time slots for transmission by the UE based at least in part on the received interference measurement reports and the received serving cell signal quality and/or or if high priority IRAT neighbors are configured.
Abstract:
In a method and apparatus for wireless communication, reselection threshold are adjusted based whether a neighbor cell is an inter-frequency neighbor cell or an inter-radio access technology (IRAT) neighbor cell. A cell reselection serving cell threshold is an indicator for determining when to perform cell reselection. Cell reselection is performed in accordance with the cell reselection serving cell threshold.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) avoids entering a limited service state when the UE enters a weak coverage area where a communication service outage occurs with respect to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. In one instance, the UE remains on the first RAT during the communication service outage, based on a location of the UE by preventing switching from the first RAT to a second RAT.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) avoids entering a limited service state when the UE attempts to switch from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT when the UE experiences a communication service outage with respect to the second RAT. In one instance, the UE attempts to access the second radio access technology (RAT) from a first RAT. The first RAT may be in a service outage or have weak coverage. The UE does not reach a maximum number of network access failures in the second RAT. Rather, the UE attempts to acquire a third RAT before reaching the maximum number of retries. The third RAT may be the same as the first RAT or may be a different RAT altogether.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) quickly reselects from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a third RAT. The first RAT does not provide neighbor frequencies of the third RAT. Therefore, the user equipment first starts reselection to a second RAT. The user equipment then collects system information from the second RAT. The system information includes one or more frequencies of the third RAT. The user equipment searches for one or more frequencies of the third RAT and measures one or more detected cells corresponding to the one or more frequencies of the third RAT. The user equipment bypasses camping on the second RAT and directly camps on the third RAT when a signal quality of a detected cell corresponding to the one or more frequencies is above an absolute threshold.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) receives a circuit switched page from a first radio access technology (RAT) and a command instructing the UE to redirect to a second RAT. The command indicates a designated location area identity of the second RAT. The UE detects base stations of the second RAT and determines whether a strongest base station is in an area identified by the designated location area identity. The UE connects to the strongest base station based on the determining. When the designated location area identity is a permitted location area, the UE connects to the strongest base station when the location of the strongest base station is included in the permitted location area. When the designated location area identity is a prohibited location area, the UE connects to the strongest base station when the location of the strongest base station is not included in the prohibited location area.
Abstract:
In a method of wireless communication, a UE receives a redirection message from a first radio access technology (RAT) to move to a second RAT. The UE scans frequencies of the second RAT indicated in the received redirection message from the first RAT and does not detect a cell. The UE scans a third RAT and collects system information from a detected cell in the third RAT but does not camp on the detected cell in the third RAT. The UE scans frequencies of the second RAT indicated in the collected system information and detects a cell. The UE then performs a call setup with the detected cell of the second RAT.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) improves wireless communication when the UE returns or attempts to return to a first radio access technology (RAT) from a second RAT after a circuit switched fall back (CSFB) call failure due to a radio resource control (RRC) connection failure. In one instance, the UE successfully redirects to the second RAT from a first RAT. The UE then determines that the circuit switched fall back call on the second RAT failed. In response to the determination of the failure, the UE waits for a predetermined amount of time for second RAT re-paging or a user re-initiating the circuit switched call. The UE then performs fast return to the first RAT after the predetermined amount of time expires or in response to a user input.
Abstract:
A cell reselection technique establishes a data call on a different radio access technology (RAT) when a background application requests initiation of a data call while camped on a serving RAT. Rather than setting up the data call immediately on the serving RAT, a user equipment (UE) determines signal quality of the other RAT. When the signal quality is good, the UE delays call setup until after reselecting to the other RAT.
