Abstract:
Various solutions for reducing inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) measurements for reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE) with respect to UE and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a neighbor cell information from a first RAT. The apparatus may determine whether a neighbor cell of the neighbor cell information supports RedCap UE. The apparatus may perform a measurement on the neighbor cell in an event that the neighbor cell supports the RedCap UE. The apparatus may skip the measurement on the neighbor cell in an event that the neighbor cell does not support the RedCap UE.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device for avoiding location exposure in a User Equipment (UE) information procedure includes a wireless transceiver configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The device further includes a controller, configured to determine whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network, and in response to the RRC security not having been activated, does not send a measurement report to the service network via the wireless transceiver after receiving measurement configuration message, wherein the controller is further configured to send the measurement report after the RRC security has been activated.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus includes an RF signal processing device, a baseband signal processing device and a processor. The processor controls operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device, camps on a first cell of a first RAT, collects cell selection/reselection parameters of one or more frequencies of the first RAT in an autonomous fast return (AFR) list, switches from the first RAT to the second RAT to camp on a second cell of the second RAT, establishes a connection with a peer communications apparatus via the second cell, receives a connection release message or a channel release message from the second cell to release the connection, and switches from the second RAT to the first RAT by performing a cell selection procedure or a redirection procedure according to the AFR list to camp on a third cell of the first RAT.
