Abstract:
Techniques for prioritizing time critical data for transmission during a power-limited state in DC-HSUPA operation are described. A user equipment (UE) may be in a power-limited state. The UE may identify non-scheduled, time critical data and scheduled data as available for transmission. The UE may detect that a minimum transport block size is about to be selected for a transmission on a secondary uplink carrier. The UE may prioritize the non-scheduled, time critical data over the scheduled data and transmit the non-scheduled, time critical data on a primary uplink carrier based on the prioritizing. The UE also may transmit the scheduled data during a transmission time interval (TTI) that is different from the TTI during which the non-scheduled, time critical data was transmitted. The non-scheduled, time critical data and the scheduled data may be transmitted using transmit diversity.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for call continuity following radio link failure (RLF) through re-establishment of a voice call using a same or different radio access technology (RAT) before the call is dropped. Upon detection of RLF on a connection supporting a voice call, a UE may initiate a drop call timer and scan for available connections. The voice call may be attempted to be re-established if a connection is available on using a RAT of an existing connection. The voice call in such cases may continue without the call being dropped. Upon expiration of the drop call timer, the UE may attempt to establish a connection using a RAT identified during the duration of the drop call timer.
Abstract:
Methods for receiving emergency messages on a mobile communication device having a first subscription and a second subscription sharing a radio frequency (RF) resource may include prioritizing, by a processor of the mobile communication device, the first subscription for a predetermined time period in order to receive an emergency message, determining, by the processor, whether the first subscription should be de-prioritized before the predetermined time period expires based on a reception history of the first subscription during the predetermined time period, and tuning the RF resource to the second subscription before the predetermined time period expires in response to determining that the first subscription should be de-prioritized before the predetermined time period expires.
Abstract:
Aspects related to allocating transmission power in wireless communications are described. It can be determined whether data is to be transmitted on an uplink control channel in one or more upcoming transmission time intervals (TTIs). Based on this determination, transmission power is allocated to an uplink enhanced dedicated channel in the one or more upcoming TTIs. Where uplink control channel data is not to be transmitted in the one or more upcoming TTIs, transmission power that would have been used for the uplink control channels can instead be allocated to the enhanced dedicated channel.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for a method and an apparatus for wireless communications using an intelligent Random Access Channel (RACH) procedure that may increase the probability of obtaining an available E-DCH resource quickly in a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System.
Abstract:
Aspects of user equipment capability reporting include receiving a paging signal for a second subscription during a tune away from an active voice call on a first subscription, sending a report of less than a full set of user equipment capability information to the network for the second subscription during a connection setup in response to the paging signal for the second subscription, extracting a caller identification (ID) associated with the paging signal for the second subscription during the tune away from the voice call on the first subscription, and initiating a transmission to the network for sending the full set of UE capability information for the second subscription in response to the voice call on the first subscription ending.
Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to facilitate optimized tune-away operations in multi-subscription wireless communication devices. According to one example, an access terminal can communicate on a first subscription. After a period of time, the access terminal can tune away from the first subscription to a second subscription to perform a communication activity corresponding to the second subscription. After tuning back to the first subscription, the access terminal may transmit uplink data while ignoring any absolute grant received after tuning back to the first subscription, and/or transmit a scheduling information message in response to tuning back to the first subscription from the second subscription. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine location information regarding the UE; and activate a receive beam of the UE in at least one symbol, associated with at least one transmit beam of at least one base station, based at least in part on the location information, wherein the UE is configured to activate the receive beam based at least in part on mapping information, at least partially determined by the UE, that indicates that the receive beam is associated with the location information. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract:
Aspects described herein relate to transmitting hybrid automatic repeat/request (HARQ) data in continuous packet connectivity (CPC) mode. Data is transmitted to a network according to a discontinuous transmit (DTX) cycle in a CPC mode. The CPC mode can be exited, however, based at least in part on detecting available HARQ data for transmission. In this regard, a next transmission opportunity configured for transmitting the available HARQ data is determined, where the next transmission opportunity is not within a transmission time instance defined by the DTX cycle, and the available HARQ data is transmitted during the next transmission opportunity outside of the CPC mode.
