Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are related to a method, apparatus and system for adjusting a processing bandwidth or frequency domain buffer decimation associated with reference signals, for example, positioning reference signals (PRS). By reducing the number of, for example, resource blocks and/or resource elements to be processed, the power involved in processing the reference signal can be reduced. Hence, in some implementations, aspects of the disclosure can enable low-power low-bandwidth devices, such as NarrowBand Internet of Things (IoT) (NBIoT), to decode reference signals such as PRS.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may configure a cycle length of an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) cycle, and may determine whether the UE is in a condition, associated with triggering a tracking area update, during an on duration of the eDRX cycle. The UE may selectively increase or decrease the cycle length of the eDRX cycle based at least in part on determining whether the UE is in the condition. The cycle length may be decreased when the UE is in the condition or may be increased when the UE is not in the condition. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. System information may be updated during wireless communications. A base station may transmit an indication of such a change to a wireless device. In some cases, the indication may include a priority of the system information change. The base station may set a time duration for the system information change, and broadcast one or more information blocks (e.g., indicating the updated system information) during the time duration. Upon expiration of a timer associated with the time duration, the base station may return to transmitting the one or more information blocks to the wireless device in response to requests from the wireless device. In some cases, the system information change may be broadcast in response to receiving multiple requests to transmit the first type of information block from a plurality of wireless devices served by the base station.
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.
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 improving voice calls in a mobile communication device associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) includes: initiating decoding of voice data associated with a dedicated traffic channel (DTCH) associated with the first RAT during a DTCH transmission time interval (TTI); determining whether the decoding of voice data has been completed before the end of the DTCH TTI; and performing signal measurements during a remainder of the DTCH TTI in response to determining that the decoding of voice data has been completed before the end of the DTCH TTI.
Abstract:
A method for performing one or more measurements by a mobile communication device having a first radio-frequency (RF) chain associated with a first subscription and a second RF chain associated with a second subscription includes: determining that the mobile communication device is in a connected mode on the first subscription; determining whether the second RF chain associated with the second subscription is available; and in response to determining that the second RF chain associated with the second subscription is available, utilizing the second RF chain associated with the second subscription to perform at least one of an inter-frequency measurement and an inter-radio access technology measurement on the first subscription.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for combining positioning reference signal (PRS) measurements coherently or non-coherently. An example method for combining positioning reference signal resources includes receiving a plurality of positioning reference signals associated with a positioning reference signal resource set or a transmission/reception point, coherently combining resource elements for two or more of the plurality of positioning reference signals received within a period of time, and non-coherently combining resource elements for two or more of the plurality of positioning reference signals received outside of the period of time.
Abstract:
Aspect 19 is the apparatus of any of aspects 14-18, further includes that the value of the response time and a value of the first time slot are based on an actual slot of the transmission of the first SL-PRS.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support coordination information associated with sidelink positioning reference signals. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes generating, by a user equipment (UE), coordination information associated with sidelink-positioning reference signal (SL-PRS) scheduling, and transmitting a message including the coordination information. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described. In a second aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a UE, a message including coordination information associated with SL-PRS scheduling, and determining whether to forward at least a portion of the message based on forwarding information included in the first message.
