Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented for piecewise aggregation of overhead messages. According to a method that is presented, that the method can include starting a timer having a time period during which a first radio access technology (RAT) of the UE attempts to obtain overhead messages from a cell. The method can also include obtaining, at a radio resource of the UE and during the time period, a first portion of the overhead messages from the cell. In addition, the method may include determining that the timer has expired and handing over the radio resource to a second RAT of the UE when the timer has expired. The method also may include aggregating the first portion of the overhead messages with a second portion of the overhead messages. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for switching networks in active mode are described herein. In one aspect a method of wireless communication is provided. The method includes communicating with a device over a first network. The method further includes monitoring for a second network during the communication with the device, the second network having a higher throughput than the first network. The method further includes determining an application usage history of the device. The method further includes selectively transitioning the communication from the first network to the second network based on a parameter of the first network, a parameter of the second network, and an application usage history of the device.

Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus for optimizing machine-to-machine device performance are provided. In one aspect, a method comprises acquiring a pilot signal and determining a clock drift of the device based on the acquired pilot signal. The method further comprises selectively adjusting the frequency with which the device reacquires the pilot signal based at least in part on the determined clock drift. The slot cycle index is reduced when the determined clock drift is greater than a first predetermined fraction of a reacquisition window size. The slot cycle index is reduced when an anticipated clock drift of the device is greater than a second predetermined fraction of a reacquisition window size and the device fails to reacquire the pilot signal, the device is handed off, a finger energy is less than a first predetermined threshold, or a channel estimate value is less than a second predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for mobile transmit diversity. In one aspect a method of controlling a transmit power level of a wireless communications apparatus is provided. The method includes adjusting the transmit power level of a transmitter of the wireless communications apparatus to a first transmit power level in response to detecting a de-sense event indicative of interference with a signal received by a receiver of the wireless communications apparatus due to emissions from the transmitter. The method further includes maintaining the transmit power level substantially at the first transmit power level for a first time interval in response to adjusting the transmit power level to the first transmit power level. The method further includes adjusting a transmit power level limit of the transmitter after the time interval at a rate for a second time interval.
