Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for managing mobility in a multi-radio device are provided. One example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first radio access technology (RAT); receiving a message to redirect from a second channel to the first channel; determining the first channel is in a set of one or more blocked channels not usable for the first RAT; and in response to the determination, taking one or more actions. Another example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first RAT and providing an indication to a network that a user equipment (UE) no longer supports the first channel.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for a user equipment (UE) to report packet switched voice call capabilities to a base station. The UE may explicitly report voice call capabilities via one or more system-level parameters that are transmitted to the base station. The base station may operate in a first radio access network (RAN), such as a 5G or new radio (NR) RAN. In cases where the UE indicates a capability for packet switched voice calls via the first RAN, one or more voice calls may be established with the UE via the first RAN. In cases where the UE indicates that it is not capable of packet switched voice calls via the first RAN, the UE may fall back to a different RAN (e.g., a 4G or LTE RAN, a 3G RAN, or a 2G RAN) for voice calls.
Abstract:
A method of smart coding mode switching includes receiving a first data including a primary copy and a partial copy. The method includes determining if switching a coding mode from channel aware mode to non-channel aware mode may be advantageous. The method further includes transmitting a request to another device for coding mode switch in response to determination result. The method includes receiving and decoding of a second data that includes a primary copy.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus, e.g., a network entity, may establish a connection between a user equipment (UE) and a packet data network, designate the packet data network with an always-on status, and notify the UE, while the UE is in the idle mode, when a loss of connection with the packet data network is detected. The UE may be connected to another packet data network when the loss of the connection occurs. A service provided by the packet data network may be designated as having an always-on status and the UE may be notified when a loss of the service is detected.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a user equipment performs an inter-radio access technology (RAT) mobility procedure from a first network to a second network while idle mode signaling reduction (ISR) is active, locally deactivates ISR in connection with completion of the inter-RAT mobility procedure, and initiates a location management procedure in the second network. Depending on the respective type of the first and second network, and the connection state of the UE with respect to the first network, the mobility procedure may be performed in response to a mobility command received from the first network, or in response to a mobility condition of the first network as detected by the UE.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for power conservation in emergency broadcast message reception in a wireless communications system. In accordance with a method for conserving power, one or more segments of an emergency broadcast message in an access stratum are received. The emergency broadcast message is identified as a duplicate emergency broadcast message based at least in part on one or more identifiers of the received one or more segments. The receipt of additional segments of the emergency broadcast message is terminated.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to determining frequencies for measuring cells in reselection. A set of frequencies over which to measure cells for reselection can be prioritized, wherein one or more first frequencies in the set of frequencies correspond to frequencies of previously visited closed subscriber group (CSG) cells, multimedia broadcast multicast services (MBMS) frequencies, etc. A command to deprioritize one or more second frequencies for reselection can be received, and it can be determined whether to deprioritize the one or more second frequencies in the prioritized set of frequencies based at least in part on the command. One or more cells can be measured over the prioritized set of frequencies based at least in part on respective priorities of the set of frequencies and may be evaluated for reselection.
Abstract:
A method for voice/data hybrid mode within a user equipment (UE). The method includes detecting a first radio access technology (RAT) activity in response to a received first RAT suspend request for a second RAT tune-away. The method also includes adaptively performing the first RAT suspend request according to a predetermined priority of the detected first RAT activity and a second RAT tune-away activity. A receive chain is shared between a first RAT modem and a second RAT modem of the UE.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described herein that facilitate efficient transfer of quality of service (QoS) context during inter-radio access technology (RAT) handovers. In particular, techniques are described herein for establishing rules for whether a user equipment unit (UE) or an associated network should establish QoS for a mixed-mode application, identifying flow to bearer mappings when translating QoS across an inter-RAT handover, mapping QoS parameters of respective RATs, mitigating QoS depreciation upon multiple handovers, performing one or more actions if QoS is not acceptable in a new RAT, maintaining QoS during tunnel mode, and handling scenarios in which a UE moves between a RAT using network-initiated QoS and a RAT using UE-initiated QoS.
