Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to facilitate reacquisition procedures for a slotted idle mode. According to one example, an access terminal can operate in a slotted idle mode. The access terminal can then determine one or more optimized parameters for reacquisition procedures. In one example, the access terminal can determine an optimized length of time for reacquisition periods by incrementally reducing the length of time for reacquisition periods until an optimized length of time is obtained. In another example, the access terminal can determine an optimized number of pseudorandom noise (PN) signals and PN positions to be stored during each awake state of the slotted idle mode by incrementally reducing the number of PN signals and PN positions that are stored until an optimized number of stored PN signals and PN positions is obtained. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
Abstract:
A method, device, and system provide efficient way for handling LTE cells for suspending data suspending data in a carrier aggregation plus multiSIM scenario. The technique includes receiving communications corresponding to the first subscription at a user equipment over a primary cell and a secondary cell; calculating, prior to a tune away period, a first data throughput rate of the primary cell and a second data throughput rate of a secondary cell; sending at least one event measurement report if the second data throughput rate is higher than the first data throughput rate; receiving a handover command from a network node to interchange the primary cell and the secondary cell; and switching, in response to receiving the handover command, the primary cell and the secondary cell such that the primary cell becomes the secondary cell and the secondary cell becomes the primary cell for first subscription traffic.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to a method of managing communications for 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, the method including, but not limited to, determining that the first subscription is a Default Data Subscription (DDS), deactivating at least one first Packet Data Network (PDN) associated with the second subscription, and communicating via at least one second PDN associated with the second subscription, wherein the at least one first PDN is different from the at least one second PDN.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for indicating, by a multimode access point, an availability of a service on a first RAT to a mobile device via a second RAT. The multimode access point may determine whether a service is available from a base station on the first RAT, e.g., a VoLTE service from a LTE base station. The multimode access point may send an indication to the mobile device of the available services. The mobile device may configure a voice call session based on the available services and initiate the voice call session accordingly.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for handling simultaneous calls on a multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) multi-active (MSMA) device having at least a first SIM associated with a first transceiver and a second SIM associated with a second transceiver. A processor of the MSMA device may establish a first SIM call using the first transceiver and a second SIM call using the second transceiver while the first SIM call is active. The processor may also establish a direct wireless link to a second mobile communication device using a third transceiver. The processor may maintain both the first and second SIM calls active simultaneously by handling the first SIM call using an input/output device of the MSMA device and relaying the second SIM call to the second communication device via the direct wireless link.

Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable a multi-antenna mobile device to mitigate radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure to users. A processor may determine a distance between the multi-antenna mobile device and the select portion of the user and switch from using a first antenna that is closer to the select portion of the user to using a second antenna when the multi-antenna mobile device is close to the user. The signal strength of the first antenna may be compared to the signal strength of a second antenna of the multi-antenna mobile device, and the second antenna may be used instead of the first antenna when the signal strength of the first antenna is within a predetermined threshold of the signal strength of the second antenna. If acceptable signal quality is not obtained with the second antenna, the multi-antenna mobile device may switch back to the first antenna.
Abstract:
Embodiment methods and devices enable use of a shared radio resource on a multi-SIM wireless communication device to maintain session information on a service associated with one SIM during unused time slots of an active communication session associated with another SIM. During the session, a processor may calculate radio idle time periods in the active communication session, determine whether any of the radio idle time periods will exceed a predetermined threshold duration, and retune the shared radio resource to receive search samples on a frequency of the non-active network during radio idle time periods that exceed the predetermined threshold duration. Search samples may be stored for processing between radio idle time periods in order to maintain session information on a service associated with one SIM and provide service information to applications executing on the device during the active communication session.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a wireless relay device comprises receiving, over a first wireless connection of a first connection type between a first wireless device and the relay device, a request to establish a connection between the first wireless device and a network via the first wireless connection and a second wireless connection of a second connection type between the relay device and the network.

The method further comprises establishing, at the relay device, the connection between the first wireless device and the network when the priority associated with the first wireless device is higher than a priority associated with at least one of a plurality of other wireless devices having a connection with the network via the second wireless connection.
