Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) prevents re-transmissions of downlink high-speed data during a tune away procedure when an acknowledgment (ACK) to the high-speed data is not received at a network. In one instance, the UE decodes a first high-speed grant and corresponding downlink high-speed data before tuning away from a serving base station. The UE determines that a first timing for transmitting an acknowledgement of the decoded high-speed downlink data occurs during a tune away gap. The UE determines a second time for sending the acknowledgment based on a determination of a second high-speed grant missed during the tune away gap. The UE transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) for the decoded downlink high-speed data in accordance with a time line of the missed second high-speed grant.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication enables an inter-radio access technology (IRAT) neighbor cell measurement when a serving RAT signal strength is continuously below a first threshold value for a first length of time. The method also disables the IRAT neighbor cell measurement when the serving RAT signal strength is continuously above a second threshold value for a second length of time.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses relating to wireless communication of a user equipment (UE) are provided including receiving an indication to perform a call origination procedure when communicating in a serving cell, selecting a neighbor cell for performing the call origination procedure based at least in part on receiving the indication and performing the call origination procedure with a wireless network using the neighbor cell after selecting the neighbor cell in response to receiving the indication. Selecting the neighbor cell can include performing reselection or switching subscriptions in a multiple subscription UE while delaying the call origination procedure until after the selection.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may perform an inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement in time slots not deemed to be carrying critical data. In such instances, the UE only transmits and decodes critical data in the critical time slots when a serving cell signal is low for a determined period of time. Otherwise, when the time slots do not carry critical data, i.e., non-critical time slots, the UE stops transmitting and decoding and uses the non-critical time slots for IRAT measurement.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented for determining a location of a mobile station. In some embodiments, a mobile station may acquire at least one attribute of a reference base station to obtain the identity of the reference base station. A first and a second locally unique attribute of a local base station may then be acquired. The mobile station may then compute a distance metric from the mobile station to the reference base station based on the at least one attribute, and the first and second locally unique attributes. The location of the mobile station may be determined based at least in part on the distance metric. In some embodiments, the distance metric may include a number of how many base stations away (i.e. “hops” or number of handovers) the mobile station is from the reference base station.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method to avoid strong interference includes measuring all cells on a neighbor frequency indicated by a network on a neighbor list. A first and second set of cells are identified. The identified first set of cells are from the neighbor list and have a first signal strength a first predefined amount above a serving cell signal strength. The second set of cells are not on the neighbor list and have a second signal strength above a first threshold signal value. The first signal strength of the first set of cells and the second signal strength of the second set of cells are compared to determine whether to send a measurement report for the first set of cells.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes determining whether a serving cell signal strength is below a first threshold. The method also includes determining whether an inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength is below a second threshold. The method further includes determining whether a number of idle traffic time slots for inter-radio access technology IRAT measurements is less than a third threshold. Finally, a frequency of IRAT measurements in time slot zero (TS0), a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and a gap (GP) is increased. The increase is based on the determined serving cell signal strength, the determined inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength, and the determined number of idle traffic time slots.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method includes measuring a first signal from a first neighbor base station until a first timer expires. Also measured is a second signal from a second neighbor base station until a second timer expires. The first signal is compared with the second signal. A measurement report of the first signal is delayed when the second signal is better than the first signal and the first timer expires prior to the second timer.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes returning to a base station after a handover failure. The method also includes measuring a length of time between receiving a handover command and returning to the base station. The method further includes setting a physical uplink channel transmit power based on the measured length of time. The physical uplink channel can be an enhanced physical uplink channel (E-PUCH) of a high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA)wireless network.
Abstract:
A UE is configured to collect multiple absolute radio frequency channel numbers (ARFCNs) in parallel via a wideband receiver during a transmission gap. Inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements are performed based on the collected AFRCN samples.
