Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may achieve faster cellular redirection, which reduces latency of the redirection, and improves throughput and user perception during redirection. In some instances, the UE may speed up the redirection by determining whether a connection release message with redirection information indicating a target radio access technology (RAT), a target cell and/or a target frequency has been received. The UE modifies a connection release complete procedure when the redirection information is received.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes transmitting a scheduling request through a common channel without performing a random access procedure, when uplink data remains in a buffer and no active grant exists during a call. The method also includes receiving a grant and initiating data transmission through an enhanced channel.
Abstract:
In a method of wireless communication, a UE is redirected to a first RAT due to circuit switch fallback via a connection release from the second RAT. The UE is redirected based on redirection information that includes a dedicated preamble and a time period for the UE to perform a random access procedure in the first RAT. In one instance, the UE performs the random access procedure with the dedicated preamble during the time period. In addition, the UE performs the random access procedure with a non-dedicated preamble when no response is received to the dedicated preamble when the time period expires.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) uses idle time slots for system acquisition for IRAT measurement. To speed up the IRAT measurement, the UE starts system acquisition for a for first Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cell. The UE suspends the system acquisition of the first GSM cell when the first GSM cell signal strength falls below a signal strength of another GSM cell in a neighbor list. The UE then stores information acquired during the system acquisition of the first GSM cell, prior to the suspension. The UE starts a system acquisition for a second GSM cell after the suspension. The UE then resumes the system acquisition of the first GSM cell using the stored information after the second cell is acquired or the acquisition process aborts.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication stores synchronization channel (SCH) timing for each identified Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) cell. The stored SCH timing is used to perform base station identity code (BSIC) reconfirmation for an identified GSM cell without frequency correction channel (FCCH) tone detection and initial BSIC confirmation. The stored SCH timing is maintained across a plurality of user equipment (UE) states.
Abstract:
It is determined whether a specific call type occurs. A random access preamble is transmitted at an earliest available sub-channel when the specific call type occurs. The random access preamble is transmitted at an assigned sub-channel when the specific call type does not occur. The call type can be a circuit switched fall back (CSFB) call or an emergency call.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes initiating a specific call type and transmitting a first random access preamble via a first random access preamble channel when initiating the specific call type. The method also includes transmitting a second random access preamble via a second random access preamble channel when initiating the specific call type. The second random access preamble is transmitted without waiting for a response to the transmitted first random access preamble
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) including a single receiver tunes away from a first communication entity to perform a communication activity for a second communication entity during a network configured measurement gap associated with a first communication entity. In one instance, the user equipment performs the communication activity for the second SIM when the user equipment determines that a page of the second SIM occurs during the network configured measurement gap. The UE also performs inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement during the network configured measurement gap.
Abstract:
A method and/or apparatus for wireless communication determines whether circuit switched fall back (CSFB) occurred from a first RAT to a second RAT. A call is handed over from the second RAT to the third RAT and a UE attempts to return directly to the first RAT from the third RAT when the CSFB occurred and the call is released from the third RAT.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a data grant for multiple retransmission time slots associated with successfully decoded high speed data. The grant is in response to a base station detecting a NACK. The method also includes tuning away from a serving cell during the retransmission time slots.
