Abstract:
The various embodiments provide methods for implementing a forced reselection strategy after causing colliding subscriptions to perform reselection to neighboring cells. In various embodiments, the MSMS communication device may undo the effects of forced reselection in certain situations when continuing to employ forced reselection may be ineffective. In other embodiments, the MSMS communication device may force reselecting subscriptions to reselect to neighboring cells in a paging group based on the page timings of the neighboring cells. Thus, the various embodiments may increase the performance of the colliding subscriptions and may enhance the user's overall experience.

Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for early termination of paging search in CSS. A user equipment (UE) may search a common search space (CSS) for a paging indication that may be repeated, up to and including, a maximal number of times in the CSS. A receive power of a reference signal (RS) may be measured for a paging candidate for a number of repetitions, which may be associated with a partial time-frequency region of the CSS. The UE may terminate the paging search based at least on the receive power of the RS and may declare no paging is present without monitoring or searching the full CSS associated with the maximal number of repetitions.
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:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Mobile devices, such as a user equipment (UE), may be able to communicate over a number of different networks, such as a WWAN and a WLAN. Similarly, the UE may be able to perform calls using a number of different networks. At times, completing a call using a WWAN may be preferable to using a WLAN, and at other times completing a call using a WLAN may be preferable to using a WWAN. As such, a UE may receive a plurality of calls, may determine that the calls originate from a same user, may determine which network to select for completing the call, and may complete the call using the selected network. Similarly, a UE may share a vocoder and/or other call components between WWAN components and WLAN components to enable simultaneous initiation of calls on different networks.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to dynamic cell reselection to improve device-to-device (D2D) communications where two or more D2D peers are camped onto different cells and one or more D2D peers are located in an overlap region between the cells. For example, in various embodiments, the D2D peers may exchange one or more communication parameters over the (inter-cell) D2D connection and detect that the D2D peers are camped on different base stations (i.e., attached to different cells) based on the exchanged communication parameters. The D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region may then obtain measurements on the neighbor cell and a forced cell reselection may be triggered at the appropriate D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region such that the D2D peers are camped on the same base station, thereby converting the inter-cell D2D connection into an intra-cell D2D connection that can be more easily maintained.
Abstract:
A method for performing parallel network acquisition attempts on a mobile communication device includes: retrieving mobile communication device information from a look-up table (LUT); identifying, based on the retrieved information, components of the mobile communication device that support one or more radio access technologies (RATs); allocating the components to at least some of the one or more supported RATs; and performing parallel network acquisition attempts for the at least some of the one or more supported RATs using the allocated components.
Abstract:
Minimizing conflicts between different radio access technologies (RATs) is disclosed herein which include monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a first use of a UE Radio Frequency (RF) resource by a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The UE monitors a second use of the UE resource by a second RAT. The UE is served by a current serving cell in the second RAT. The UE may also determine a percentage of conflict between a first use of a UE resource by a first RAT and the second use of the UE resource by the second RAT over a predefined period of time, and initiating, by the UE, a cell reselection attempt to one or more neighboring cells of a plurality of neighboring cells serving the second RAT based on the determined percentage of conflict exceeding a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication are provided. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication comprises receiving a first resource request including a first interval for at least one timing-priority task associated with a first radio access technology and a second resource request including a second interval for at least one timing-non-priority task associated with the first radio access technology. The method comprises granting the first resource request and reserving the first interval for the at least one timing-priority task associated with the first radio access technology. The method comprises receiving at least a third resource request including a third interval for at least one timing-priority task associated with a second radio access technology. The method comprises granting the third resource request and reserving the third interval for the at least one timing-priority task associated with the second radio access technology when the first interval and the third interval do not overlap.
Abstract:
Various embodiments leverage the typical manner in which a RAT selects a supported frequency band listed in its acquisition database and the standard communications with its network indicating the supported frequency bands to avoid potential coexistence events with one or more other RATs. In particular, various embodiments include methods for avoiding band interference between RATs operating on a multi-SIM communication device by identifying the frequency bands available to each of the RATs, comparing the identified frequency bands to determine whether any RAT's frequency bands will interfere with one or more other RAT's frequency bands, and in response to determining that there is a possibility of frequency band interference, removing those interfering frequency bands from that RAT's acquisition database. As a result, during standard communications, that RAT will report to its network that it supports only non-interfering frequency bands.
