Abstract:
Out-of-service (OOS) scanning in mobile equipment is disclosed in mobile equipment having two or more modems. The OOS scans are performed for one of the modems. A determination is made that a first status exists in response to detection that one of the OOS scans proved unsuccessful. Another determination is made that a second status exists in response to detecting that one other of the modems is not experiencing an OOS condition. In response to existence of the first status and the second status, information is utilized from the other of the modems to make a determination whether a third status exists. A determination is made, conditioned at least in part on existence of the third status, whether to perform another of the OOS scans.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving inter-network mobility performance in multiple network wireless communication systems by using channel avoidance information from a first network using a first radio access technology (RAT) to modify inter-RAT behavior of a second network using a second RAT. In some embodiments, the second network queries the first network for channel avoidance information and applies the channel avoidance information in suppressing inter-RAT channel measurements, avoiding inter-RAT redirection, and/or avoiding inter-RAT reselection. In embodiments, inter-RAT channel measurement suppression, inter-RAT redirection avoidance, and/or inter-RAT reselection avoidance is performed by the mobile device. In other embodiments, channel avoidance information of the first network may be communicated to other network entities of the second network and one or more of these entities may modify various inter-RAT behaviors.
