Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may receive a priority list associated with preferred radio frequencies from a serving base station. In certain aspects, each radio frequency of the preferred radio frequencies associated with a first set of base station may operate on a first RAT. In certain other aspects, the apparatus may determine if the UE is able to reselect to the first RAT. In certain other aspects, the apparatus may perform a rank-based cell reselection procedure based on signal strength when the UE is unable to reselect to the first RAT.
Abstract:
Minimizing conflicts between different radio access technologies (RATs) is disclosed herein which include monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a first use of a UE Radio Frequency (RF) resource by a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The UE monitors a second use of the UE resource by a second RAT. The UE is served by a current serving cell in the second RAT. The UE may also determine a percentage of conflict between a first use of a UE resource by a first RAT and the second use of the UE resource by the second RAT over a predefined period of time, and initiating, by the UE, a cell reselection attempt to one or more neighboring cells of a plurality of neighboring cells serving the second RAT based on the determined percentage of conflict exceeding a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
According to various embodiments, there is provided a method for a wireless communication device having at least one Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a subscription to manage communications over the subscription. The method may include determining a value of a computer processing unit (CPU) load of the wireless communication device, the CPU load based on data operations of the at least one SIM and contributing to a thermal state of the wireless communication device. The method may further include determining whether the value of the CPU load is greater than a load threshold. The method may further include, in response to determining that the value of the CPU load is greater than the load threshold, performing a variable tuneaway at the at least one SIM during which the at least one SIM is configured to halt the data operations, a length of the variable tuneaway based on the value of the CPU load.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for conducting a public land mobile network (PLMN) search for a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) on a mobile communication device may include profiling a frequency space to identify one or more frequency bands that may be utilized by one of the plurality of RATs and determining, according to a priority ordering of the plurality of RATs, a RAT that utilizes each identified frequency band. The mobile communication device may add, for each RAT in the plurality of RATs, the identified frequency bands utilized by each RAT to exclude lists associated with other RATs in the plurality of RATs. The mobile communication device may then conduct a PLMN search for each RAT in the plurality of RATs utilizing the exclude lists associated with each RAT.
Abstract:
A method for decoding a cell broadcast (CB) message in a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) mobile communication device, the method includes: receiving a first CB decoding schedule for a first subscription associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) of the mobile communication device; receiving a second CB decoding schedule for a second subscription associated with a second RAT of the mobile communication device; selecting one subscription from the first subscription and the second subscription; and decoding a CB message on a RAT associated with the selected subscription in accordance with a CB decoding schedule of the selected subscription.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods for scheduling reception activities on a wireless communication device having a first receive chain and a second receive chain. Various embodiments may include identifying a first reception activity and a second reception activity of a first subscription scheduled on the first receive chain, in which a duration of the second reception activity is longer than a duration of the first reception activity. The wireless communication device may determine whether the first reception activity and the second reception activity can be performed concurrently on the first receive chain, and schedule the second reception activity on the second receive chain in response to determining that the first reception activity and the second reception activity cannot be performed concurrently on the first receive chain.
Abstract:
A method includes: detecting that a short data packet transmission will be performed on a first subscription over a first time period; determining whether a page reception will be performed on a second subscription during a second time period that includes at least a portion of the first time period; and in response to a determination that the page reception will be performed on the second subscription during the second time period, deferring the short data packet transmission on the first subscription until after the page reception on the second subscription is performed.
Abstract:
Various embodiments described herein relate to a wireless communication device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with a first subscription and a second SIM associated with a second subscription to manage communications over the first subscription and the second subscription. Some embodiments relate to identifying at least one sleep period of one or more Connected Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) cycles associated with the first subscription. Some embodiments further relate to performing at least a portion of one or more activities of the second subscription during the identified at least one sleep period.
