Abstract:
A communications device and method for a carrier search are provided. The communication apparatus includes an RF signal processing device, a processor, and a memory device. The RF signal processing device receives a plurality of main system information and extra system information broadcasted by service networks. The processor is configured to check whether the extra system information corresponding to a second cell has been broadcasted by a detected network when a first center frequency of a first cell corresponding to a target radio access technology has been searched, and search a second center frequency of the second cell according to the extra system information corresponding to the second cell. All or a port of carriers are skipped according to the extra system information corresponding to the second cell. The memory device stores the main and extra system information received from detected service networks.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method and Multi-SIM user equipment are provided. The wireless communication method for Multi-SIM dual standby (DSDS) technology is applied on Multi-SIM user equipment (UE) which is capable of carrier aggregation (CA) or dual connectivity (DuCo). The wireless communication method includes the steps of determining whether a packet switch (PS) or circuit switch (CS) paging is received on a second SIM card when a first PS call is ongoing in a first SIM card; and suspending the first PS call which is ongoing on the first SIM card if the packet switch (PS) or circuit switch (CS) paging is received on the second SIM card.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus includes an RF signal processing device, a baseband signal processing device and a processor. The processor controls operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device, camps on a first cell of a first RAT, receives a mobile terminated (MT) or mobile originated (MO) service request and determines whether performing a RAT change procedure to switch from the first RAT to a second RAT is required. When determining that performing the RAT change procedure is required, the processor directly camps on a target cell of the second RAT and transmits a MT or MO service response for responding the MT or MO service request to the target cell.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus includes an RF signal processing device, a baseband signal processing device and a processor. The processor controls operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device, camps on a first cell of a first RAT, collects cell selection/reselection parameters of one or more frequencies of the first RAT in an autonomous fast return (AFR) list, switches from the first RAT to the second RAT to camp on a second cell of the second RAT, establishes a connection with a peer communications apparatus via the second cell, receives a connection release message or a channel release message from the second cell to release the connection, and switches from the second RAT to the first RAT by performing a cell selection procedure or a redirection procedure according to the AFR list to camp on a third cell of the first RAT.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for providing UE EPS capability information and receiving non-access stratum (NAS) security algorithm information for an interworking procedure in the 5GS network. In one novel aspect, the UE provides the UE EPS capability information in cleartext before the security mode procedure, and the NAS security algorithm information is included in a security mode command message during the security mode procedure. In one embodiment, the UE EPS capability information is an S1 mode indicator or the 5GMM capability information including the Si mode indicator. In another novel aspect, the network provides the NAS security algorithm information before interworking procedure from 5GS to LTE. In one embodiment, the network provides the NAS security algorithm information in the Registration Accept message. In another embodiment, the network provides the NAS security algorithm information in handover procedure from the 5GS to LTE.
Abstract:
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:
A user equipment and a circuit-switched fallback method thereof are provided. An initial base station sends a radio resource control connection release message containing the redirection frequency list to the UE. The redirection frequency list includes at least one redirection frequency. The UE determines a priority of the at least one redirection frequency according to a current registered LAI, a learning database and a piece of signal reference information of the redirection frequency list. Accordingly, the UE executes a circuit switch fallback procedure according to the priority of the at least one redirection frequency.
Abstract:
The method and apparatus for CSFB are provided. The method for processing a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) procedure in a user equipment (UE) includes the steps of receiving the switching command when the CSFB procedure is triggered to establish a CS call, and searching for a 2G/3G cell, when the UE fails to fall back to a target cell indicated by the switching command. In addition, the method for CSFB further includes the step of initiating a timer when the UE fails to fall back to the target cell indicated by the switching command, and searching for the 2G/3G cell until the timer is expired.
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:
A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller operates in a connected mode with a connection to the service network, and determines whether there is no active data traffic in a first period of time when operating in the connected mode. In response to there being no active data traffic in the first period of time, the controller performs a local release of the connection or sends a measurement report to trigger the service network to release the connection.
