Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is configured to maintain an updated frequency list for pseudo-fast return handover. The UE receives a frequency list for pseudo fast return when the UE is in an idle mode in a first radio access technology (RAT). When the UE is in a connected mode in a second RAT, the list is updated based on actual UE inter- and intra-frequency measurements of the first RAT during mobility.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) considers both the signal strength in time slot zero and the signal quality of the downlink traffic time slots when determining whether to send an IRAT measurement report to trigger IRAT handover to GSM.
Abstract:
To create additional communication gaps for a user equipment to perform inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) measurement, the user equipment may discontinue communications during time slots of specific transmission time intervals (TTIs) based on a block error rate of a previous TTI. The time of the discontinued communications may then be allocated for inter-RAT measurement.
Abstract:
A user equipment capable of communicating on multiple radio access technologies (RATs) may receive conflicting paging occasions for each RAT. That is, the paging occasions may occur at sufficiently overlapping times such that a user equipment may not dedicate all its receive resources to each paging occasion. In such instances, a user equipment may divide receive resources among the RATs to receive pages even in the face of paging occasion conflicts.
Abstract:
To create gaps in communication activity to perform inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement, a user equipment may isolate silent periods during voice communications. During those silent periods, instead of transmitting special bursts with erasure packets indicating silent periods, the UE may allocate the time slots that would otherwise have sent the special bursts and indicate those slots as idle so they may be used for other purposes, such as IRAT measurement.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may perform an advanced inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement of a target cell when the UE transitions from an idle state to a connected state of a serving cell to reduce delay. In such instances, the UE compares the serving cell signal metric to a threshold. The advanced measurement may be performed when the serving cell signal metric, e.g., serving cell received signal code power (RSCP), is below the threshold.
