Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a moving user equipment (UE) or an application operable in a wireless communications network and methods in which an apparatus for wireless communication is configured to adaptively adjust a barred time for the moving UE by obtaining a dynamic characteristic of the moving UE; adjusting the barred time associated with the moving UE based on the dynamic characteristic to yield an adjusted barred time; applying the adjusted barred time to a resource management protocol; and executing the resource management protocol in a first wireless network in accordance with the adjusted barred time to access a first cell in the first wireless network.
Abstract:
A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for switching between a first radio access network (RAN) using the first radio access technology (RAT) and the second RAN using a different, second RAT are provided. The method includes switching a wireless device operating at a first signal frequency in the first RAN to a second RAN and switching from the second RAN back to the first RAN. In an aspect, the wireless device is switched to one of the cells operating at the first signal frequency in the first RAN if each signal parameter from the one of the cells satisfies a criterion. The wireless device is otherwise switched to another one of the cells operating at a second signal frequency in the first RAN based on parameters from the another one of the cells. The first signal frequency is different from the second signal frequency.
Abstract:
A method at a user equipment (UE) includes measuring a signal quality of each cell detected from a plurality of frequencies included in a connection release message from a radio access technology (RAT) . The measuring may occur during a long-period SIB collection for a previously determined target cell. The method also includes determining a new target cell in place of a previously determined target cell based at least in part on a signal quality of each cell measured during the long-period SIB collection for the previously determined target cell.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication in a single radio device supporting multiple radio access technologies includes adjusting measurement gap allocations for inter radio access technology (IRAT) and inter-frequency measurements. The adjustment may be based on a service type of one or more services that are running on the single radio device. The measurement gap allocation may be adjusted by increasing IRAT measurements when the service type is a voice call supported by a non-serving RAT, by increasing inter-frequency measurements when the service type is a high throughput service type and a serving RAT provides higher throughput than a non-serving RAT or other adjustments.

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.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) determines an uplink timing advance of a target NodeB, such as an uplink dedicated physical channel (DPCH) transmit timing, during handover transition when the UE receives a handover command without a random access configuration. In one instance, the UE modifies a current timing advance of a source eNodeB based on a difference between an uplink timing of the source eNodeB and a downlink timing of the source eNodeB and a difference between an uplink timing of the target NodeB and a downlink timing of the target NodeB. In another instance, the UE determines the uplink timing advance of the target NodeB based on the modified current uplink timing advance of the source eNodeB.
Abstract:
A method and/or apparatus for wireless communication in a multi-SIM user equipment includes receiving a list of neighboring base stations from a serving base station of a first SIM. The serving base station of a second SIM is identified and a final target base station is determined for a cell reselection procedure and/or cell change order procedure from among the neighboring base stations and the serving base station of the second SIM.
Abstract:
A multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) multi-standby user equipment (UE) improves recovery of an original operation of a first radio access technology (RAT) when the UE tunes away from the first RAT. In some instances, the UE communicates with the first RAT on a transmit chain and a receive chain and then tunes to a second RAT on the receive chain to monitor downlink communications or activities of the second RAT. The UE transmits on the first RAT over the transmit chain, while tuned to the second RAT. Thus, the UE continues to perform uplink transmission when the UE tunes away, which allows a base station of the first RAT to track the UE for downlink beam-forming.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication adjusts the transmit power for high speed data communications. A UE determines whether a random access channel is configured on an uplink traffic time slot. When the random access channel is configured on the uplink traffic time slot, the UE transmits a high speed data channel with adjusted transmit (TX) power based at least in part on transmit power used for a scheduling request.
