    Abstract: Methods to control reconfiguration of multiple radio access bearers in a mobile wireless device connected to a wireless network are described. The mobile wireless device is connected to the wireless network through a voice connection and a data connection simultaneously. The data connection is concurrently active with the voice connection. Transmission of one or more signaling messages for the data connection is delayed until the voice connection terminates. Representative signaling messages include messages that reconfigure a radio access bearer supporting the data connection and messages estimated to exceed a pre-determined transmission time interval.

    Abstract: Performing selective tune-away by a user equipment (UE). The UE may include a first radio that is configurable to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The UE may use the radio to communicate using the first RAT and the second RAT using the first radio. The UE may also perform measurement of a received signal strength for the first RAT. The UE may determine if the received signal strength is less than a threshold. Neighbor cell measurement and/or synchronization may be performed if the received signal strength is less than the threshold. However, if the received signal strength is greater than the threshold, the neighbor cell measurement and/or synchronization may not be performed. The UE may continue to perform page decoding for the first RAT using the first radio, e.g., for each discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle of the first RAT.

    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a User Equipment (UE) device and associated method performing improved data roaming with reduced cost. The UE may comprise at least one radio, one or more processors, a first SIM entity and a second SIM entity. The first SIM entity may be configured to implement subscriber identity module (SIM) functionality for a subscribed voice and/or data plan of a first carrier. The second SIM entity may be configured to facilitate dynamic subscription to a local data plan of a second carrier when the UE is data roaming outside of a network of the first carrier. As one example, the UE, using the second SIM entity, may be configured to dynamically subscribe to a pay-as-you-go data plan of a second carrier, to which the user is not subscribed, when the user is data roaming outside of the first carrier's network. This dynamic subscribing may operate to reduce cost to the user, since the local data plan of the second carrier likely has less expensive data rates than those available during normal data roaming.

    Abstract: Operating a user equipment (UE) which comprises a first radio that is configured to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The UE may receive a request to perform tune away operations (e.g., page decoding) for the second RAT while performing warm up procedures for the first RAT. If the request is received during crystal oscillator or radio frequency circuitry warm up, the tune away operations may be performed after these operations. If the request is received during tracking loop operations, they may be cancelled and the tune away operations may be performed. After the tune away operations, the tracking loop operations may be restarted or resumed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for adaptively adjusting temporal parameters (e.g., neighbor cell search durations). In one embodiment, neighbor cell search durations during discontinuous reception are based on a physical channel metric indicating signal strength and quality (e.g. Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI), Reference Signal Receive Quality (RSRQ), etc.) of a cell. In a second embodiment, neighbor cell search durations are based on a multitude of physical layer metrics from one or more cells. In one variant, the multitude of physical layer metrics may include signal strength and quality metrics from the serving base station as well as signal strength and quality indicators from neighbor cells derived from the cells respective synchronization sequences.

    Abstract: Performing data communication using a first radio access technology (RAT) while performing a voice call using a second RAT, using a first radio (e.g., a single radio for cellular communication. The UE may use the first radio to initially perform first data communication using the first RAT. During the first data communication the UE may not be communicating using the second RAT or may not generally maintain a connection to the second RAT. Subsequently, the UE may receive an indication to perform at least one of a mobile originated voice call or receive a mobile terminated voice call using the second RAT. Accordingly, the UE may perform the voice call using the second RAT in response to the indication, using the first radio. Additionally, the UE may perform second data communication using the first RAT during the voice call, using the first radio.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for managing radio measurements during discontinuous reception. In one exemplary embodiment, the distribution of Long Term Evolution (LTE) DRX measurements is staggered or distributed across multiple DRX cycles (which may be contiguous or non-contiguous) so as to reduce the transceiver activity and power consumption. The exemplary UE in one implementation only performs a subset of measurements during each DRX cycle. By staggering or distributing cell measurements over multiple DRX cycles, the UE can improve power consumption, while still conforming to measurement requirements.
