Abstract:
Embodiments include systems and methods for managing inter-radio access technology (IRAT) procedure concurrency between subscriptions on a multi-subscription multi-active communication device. A device processor may identify a higher-priority subscription and a lower-priority subscription on the multi-subscription multi-active communication device. The device processor may determine whether an IRAT procedure on the lower-priority subscription will overlap in time with an IRAT procedure on the higher-priority subscription. The device processor may calculate a deferral time period for the lower-priority subscription in response to determining that the IRAT procedure on the lower-priority subscription will overlap in time with the IRAT procedure on the higher-priority subscription. The device processor may defer performance of the lower-priority subscription IRAT procedure using the deferral time period in order to perform the IRAT procedure on the higher-priority subscription, and may perform the IRAT procedure on the lower-priority subscription after the deferral time period.

Abstract:
A throttling mechanism for downlink transmission control is disclosed, in which, in one aspect, a downlink low data-rate transmission may be received at a user equipment (UE). The UE may then measure a performance metric indicating performance of the downlink low data-rate transmission. The UE controls the downlink low data-rate transmission by dynamically adjusting the number of receiving antennas in use in response to comparison results of the performance metric and a threshold value.

A method for performing tune away in a wireless communication device includes: tuning away the wireless communication device from a first communication network for a first tune away period to receive a first page burst from a second communication network, and during the first tune away period sequentially tuning to a plurality of neighbor cells of the second communication network and performing signal quality measurements on signals received from each of the plurality of neighbor cells.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device, includes: a radio frequency (RF) receive chain; a control unit configured to tune the RF receive chain to receive signals from one of a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT different from the first RAT; and a first signal modification unit configured to modify the signals received from the first RAT. The control unit is further configured to suspend operation of the first signal modification unit when the RF receive chain is tuned to receive signals on the second RAT.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling improved scheduling of non-time bounded tasks across multiple subscriptions of a multi-subscription wireless communication device. A processor of the wireless communication device may determine whether the frequency utilized by a radio access technology (RAT) of a first subscription interferes with one or more frequencies utilized by RATs of other subscriptions. In response to determining that two or more of the subscriptions are non-interfering (i.e., RAT frequencies do not interfere) the processor may co-mingle non-time bounded tasks with time bounded tasks of the same subscription to produce consolidated task blocks. The task blocks may be temporal chunks of an execution queue in which tasks are scheduled continuously without interim idle periods. The processor may execute the first task block of each execution queue concurrently across subscriptions to reduce the amount of time that only a portion of the subscriptions are active or dormant.
Abstract:
In overview, the various embodiments describe methods for configuring a nodeB to recognize tuneaway events and to operate in a manner that mitigates the adverse effects of user equipment (UE) tuneaways on network capacity. In the various embodiments, the nodeB may detect that a UE is periodically tuning away based on the periodic, characteristic nature of the drops in the UE's signal strength. When the nodeB recognizes that a UE is performing periodic tuneaways, the nodeB may implement various resource management strategies while the UE is in a tuneaway gap to minimize the impact of the UE's tuneaway gaps and may resume normal resource management operations when the UE is not in a tuneaway gap. Thus, the various embodiments enable the nodeB to determine and manage the effects of a UE's tuneaway gaps, thereby increasing network capacity, optimizing power management, and enhancing the overall user experience.
