Abstract:
A wireless communication device is provided with a first radio module and a second radio module inside. The first radio module performs wireless transceiving according to a plurality of first traffic patterns which each indicates allocations of a plurality of first slots for a plurality of forthcoming transmitting or receiving operations, respectively. The second radio module determines an indicator indicating at least one of a plurality of second traffic patterns which each indicates allocations of a plurality of second slots for a plurality of forthcoming transmitting or receiving operations, respectively. Particularly, one or more allocations of the second slots are selectively determined according to the first traffic patterns. Also, the second radio module transmits the indicator to a peer communication device, so that the peer communication device performs transmitting or receiving operations according to the indicator.
Abstract:
A wireless device having a central control entity that coordinates multiple radio transceivers co-located within the same device platform to mitigate coexistence interference. The wireless device comprises an LTE transceiver, a WiFi transceiver, a BT transceiver, or a GNSS receiver. In one embodiment, the central control entity receives radio signal information from the transceivers and determines control information. The control information is used to trigger FDM solution such that the transceivers operate in designated frequency channels to mitigate co-existence interference. In another embodiment, the central control entity receives traffic and scheduling information from the transceivers and determines control information. The control information is used to trigger TDM solution such that the transceivers are scheduled for transmitting or receiving radio signals over specific time duration to mitigate co-existence interference. In yet another embodiment, power control solution is used to mitigate coexistence interference.

A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a wireless transceiver is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a first service network and a second service network. The controller uses a first subscriber identity card to establish one or more first radio bearers with the first service network via the wireless transceiver, uses a second subscriber identity card to set up an Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) tunnel with an evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) of the second service network via the first radio bearers, and uses the second subscriber identity card to register an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service with the second service network via the IPsec tunnel.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses pertaining to random access probing enhancement during state mismatch between a communication apparatus and a network apparatus may involve the communication apparatus determining whether a state mismatch exists between the communication apparatus and a network apparatus. The communication apparatus may also conduct a probing procedure responsive to a determination that the state mismatch exists. The network apparatus may transmit a value representative of a timer duration to the communication apparatus. The network apparatus may also participate in the probing procedure with the communication apparatus.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus includes at least two cellular system radio transceivers capable of simultaneously performing transmitting/receiving radio activities in two cellular networks and a control entity. The control entity is coupled to the cellular system radio transceivers, collects radio activity information of the cellular system radio transceivers, determines whether interference will occur or is occurring and which cellular system radio transceiver is an aggressor transceiver and which cellular system radio transceiver is a victim transceiver when the interference occurs according to the radio activity information, and further determines control information according to the radio activity information for controlling the aggressor transceiver or the victim transceiver to mitigate the interference. The aggressor transceiver is the cellular system radio transceiver having the transmitting radio activity that will interfere or interferes with the receiving radio activity of the victim transceiver.
Abstract:
A method of scheduling transmitting and receiving communication slots for co-located radio devices is provided. A Bluetooth (BT) device first synchronizes its communication time slots with a co-located radio module, and then obtains the traffic pattern of the co-located radio module. Based on the traffic pattern, the BT device selectively skips one or more TX or RX time slots to avoid data transmission or reception in certain time slots and thereby reducing interference with the co-located radio module. In addition, the BT device generates a co-located coexistence (CLC) bitmap and transmits the CLC bitmap to its peer BT device such that the peer BT device can also skip data transmission or reception in certain time slots affected by the co-located radio module. The skipped time slots are disabled for TX or RX operation to prevent interference and to achieve more energy saving.

A communication apparatus is provided. A processor is coupled to a transceiver and includes at least a first processor logic unit for initiating a cell selection or a cell reselection procedure to camp on a target cell and obtain a plurality of paging parameters carried in one or more system information messages transmitted by the target cell via the transceiver and a second processor logic unit for monitoring a paging identifier on a downlink control channel via the transceiver to check whether there is any forthcoming paging message before the paging parameters are obtained from the target cell.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for setting up a call for a user equipment. The method includes receiving, by the user equipment, a measurement configuration message that specifies a set of measurement events corresponding to poor signal quality between the user equipment and a packet-switched network, and sending, by the user equipment, a measurement report when one of the set of measurement events occurs while performing a first call setup process for setting up the call using the packet-switched network. The method also includes terminating the first call setup process after sending the measurement report that indicates poor signal quality between the user equipment and the packet-switched network, and sending, by the user equipment, a service request to begin a second call setup process for setting up the call for the user equipment using a circuit-switched network after terminating the first call setup process.
Abstract:
To facilitate LWA PDCP setting/scheduling, a method of providing dynamic PDCP status report polling is proposed. To enhance scheduling efficiency, the transmitter (can be eNB from DL or UE for UL) can dynamically poll PDCP status report for LWA behavior. The polling can be done by a standalone PDCP control PDU or use reserved bit in PDCP data PDU. The triggering condition for PDCP status polling includes: PDCP without poll time exceeds a first threshold, PDCP without poll bytes exceeds a second threshold, PDCP without poll PDU numbers exceeds a third threshold, a data buffer is empty, and when LWA is deactivated.
