Abstract:
Techniques for setting up a packet-switched video telephony (PSVT) call are described. A mobile originated (MO) device may transmit an invitation for the PSVT call to a mobile terminated (MT) device. The invitation may initiate a process to reserve and identify video and audio resources to establish the PSVT call. The MO device may determine whether the video resources are available. If the video resources are not available but audio resources are available, the MO device may instead establish the PSVT call with only an audio stream call between the MO device and the MT device. If audio resources become available ahead of video resources, the PSVT call may be established with an audio stream first and a video stream is automatically added to the call when video resources are reserved later, or the PSVT call is downgraded to a VoIP call if the video resources cannot be reserved.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for improving user experience of a voice call associated with a simultaneous voice and long-term evolution (SV-LTE) device (e.g., improving silent redial during a mobile originated (MO) call or mobile terminated (MT) call by a SV-LTE device. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) capable of communicating via a first packet-based radio access technology (RAT) and a second circuit-switched RAT is provided. The method generally includes detecting initiation of a mobile originated (MO) call, attempting to establish a connection with the first RAT prior to sending a session initiation protocol (SIP) message for the MO call, determining whether the connection is successfully established, and, if the connection is successfully established, sending the SIP message. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. In one aspect, the UE may establish a context for a first RAT, perform an activity involving at least one transmission via a second RAT without initiating a procedure to suspend the context for the first RAT when a duration of the activity is less than a threshold, and communicate via the first RAT using the context after the activity is performed. In another aspect, the UE may receive one or more signals via at least a first RAT, transmit via a second RAT, and perform at least one cell reselection procedure using the one or more signals during the transmission via the second RAT.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for preparing data for transmission from a user equipment in a wireless communication system. In some embodiments, a method may limit memory access starts during a time interval to ensure that all memory access operations are completed with a transmission time interval.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for supporting a connected mode enhanced pruning procedure. A UE may select, while operating in connected mode with a first radio access technology (RAT), measurement candidates for a potential handover based on one or more criteria, maintain an active list including the selected measurement candidates, perform at least one measurement based, at least in part, on the active list, and take one or more actions based, at least in part, on the at least one measurement.
Abstract:
A person may utilize multiple connected devices, such as smart watches, user equipments (UEs), smartphones, tablet computers, and/or the like, which may each be assigned unique phone numbers. Operators may assign a common phone number to the multiple connected devices; however, the phone number is not used in the access stratum path of a radio access technology resulting in multiple paging procedures being performed for the multiple connected devices. In implementations, described herein, a first UE, such as a smartphone, may obtain paging information associated with decoding paging messages for a second UE, such as a smart watch. The first UE may use the paging information to decode a paging message of a combined paging cycle established for the first UE and the second UE, thereby obviating a need for multiple paging cycles for the first UE and the second UE.
Abstract:
Various aspects described herein relate to encoding or decoding a media access control (MAC) layer transport block having an enhanced MAC header format, a split and partial MAC header, and a MAC transport block design. A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The techniques described herein may apply to different communications technologies, including 5th Generation (5G) or New Radio (NR), wireless communications technology.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for a user equipment (UE) to change from a first network to a second network for an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) call. Initially, the UE has a connection to a first network providing an IP address for the UE. The UE may receive, via the first network, a message indicating an incoming IMS call. The UE may transmit one or more IMS call setup messages on the first network at an IP layer. The UE may change the connection from the first network to a second network that uses a same identifier for the UE (e.g., the IP address). The UE may complete setup of the IMS call on the second network using the same identifier for the UE.
Abstract:
Device-to-device operations are scheduled based on receive and transmit pools that may have a conflict in time domain. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for resolving time domain conflict in device-to-device communication are provided. The apparatus may compute a first block rate metric for a first device-to-device communication on a first frequency and a second block rate metric for a second device-to-device communication on a second frequency. The apparatus may detect a time-domain conflict between the first device-to-device communication on the first frequency and the second device-to-device communication on the second frequency. The apparatus may prioritize the first device-to-device communication on the first frequency and the second device-to-device communication on the second frequency based on the first block rate metric and the second block rate metric.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to enhanced procedures for search, measurement, and positioning with aid of motion detection information. According to certain aspects, a method is provided for wireless communications which may be performed, for example, by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes determining one or more parameters of the UE; dynamically adjusting a periodicity of at least one of: cell search and measurements or global positioning system (GPS) signal acquisition based, at least in part, on the one or more parameters; and performing at least one of: the cell search and measurements or GPS signal acquisition according to the adjusted periodicity. In aspects, an enhanced technique for motion state detection is provided. The method may result in power savings, for example, when the UE is stationary and can reduce the periodicity that the UE performs search, measurement and GPS signal acquisition.
