Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an improved out-of-service (OOS) scan method that can increase the speed of acquiring service while avoiding unnecessary full scan, thus reducing scan time and/or power consumption of a user equipment. In one aspect of the disclosure, if a user equipment fails to acquire service after scanning a most recently used (MRU) list, the user equipment scans for the networks or cells stored in a neighbor list before performing a wider scan or a full scan.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for selecting one or more target devices for device-to-device (D2D) communication with a device. A device processor may determine whether a battery power level of the device is below a threshold battery power level. The device processor may establish a received power level threshold in response to determining that the battery power level of the device is below a threshold power battery level. The device processor may determine whether a received power level of a signal from target devices for D2D communication is above the received power level threshold. In response to determining that the received power level from a target device is above the received power level threshold, the device processor may permit D2D communication with that target device.
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 for improving acquisition of services in multi-SIM mobile devices by using modified priorities for radio access technologies (RATs) in partial out-of-service conditions include determining when a first radio access technology (RAT) within a plurality of RATs begins to use a shared resource within the multi-SIM mobile device that is configured to be utilized by the plurality of RATs, determining whether a second RAT within the plurality of RATs was in-service or out of service at the time when the first RAT began using the shared resource, calculating a modified priority value for the second RAT in response to determining that the second RAT was in-service at the time, and determining an order for subsequent scanning for the services by the plurality of RATs based on the calculated modified priority value for the second RAT when the second RAT in-service at the time.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for managing one or more radio resources of a multi-subscriber identity module user equipment (UE) are presented. For example, one such method presented by the disclosure may include determining that a wake-up cycle collision condition exists between a first subscription and a second subscription of the UE when the first subscription and second subscription are camped on a same cell. In addition, the example method may include receiving, via a first radio resource of the UE associated with the first subscription, a paging message during a paging block of the cell, wherein a second radio resource of the UE associated with the second subscription is unavailable. Furthermore, the example methodology may include determining, by the first subscription, that the paging message indicates that a page exists for the second subscription and informing the second subscription that the page exists.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication, in a mobile device, that includes receiving a signal from a network and obtaining pruned autocorrelation for specific channel delays of the received signal. Aspects of the methods and apparatus include determining pruned autocorrelation properties of the received signal. Aspects of the methods and apparatus also include comparing the pruned autocorrelation properties of the received signal against a reference threshold. Aspects of the methods and apparatus also include verifying that the received signal is a valid signal for WCMDA processing.
Abstract:
Techniques for determining if it is safe for a mobile device to transition directly from a traffic session to a paging mode and for avoiding network re-synchronization procedures in stationary M2M devices are disclosed. It may be safe for direct transition if before-call and in-call network parameters correspond. If safe, the mobile device may transition from the traffic session directly to the paging mode to begin immediately monitoring the paging channel. In stationary M2M devices, paging information is stored before the traffic session and, once the traffic session is complete, the M2M device may be configured to receive paging messaging based on the stored paging information. The M2M device may also store system access information and confirm the validity of the information before returning to the sleep state. The stationary M2M device avoids network re-synchronization procedures. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an apparatus and methods capable of pre-correcting reacquisition slew of pilot signal timing when a mobile device operates in a slotted mode or discontinuous reception (DRX) mode. In one aspect, a mobile device is operated in slotted mode. The mobile device wakes up to perform a pilot reacquisition corresponding to a slotted mode and detects a slew of a pilot timing relative to a pilot reference timing. The mobile device adjusts a subsequent pilot reference timing by an amount corresponding to the detected slew, to be utilized during a subsequent wake-up cycle. The mobile device returns to a sleep state to wait for the subsequent wake-up cycle. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to receive a non-empty general page message (GPM) which includes a number of page records that is less than a predefined maximum number of page records. In response to receiving the non-empty general page message (GPM), the access terminal can enter into a sleep state of a slotted idle mode. A method operational on an access terminal includes receiving a general page message (GPM) with at least one page record. A number of page records included in the general page message (GPM) may be determined to be less than a maximum number of page records allowed in the general page message (GPM). The access terminal may enter a sleep state in response to determining the number of page records in the received general page message (GPM) is less than the maximum allowed number of page records. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
