Abstract:
A method for receiving cell broadcast messages is described. The method includes communicating with a first cell. The method also includes switching to communicating with a second cell. A cell broadcast channel is read after switching cells. The method further includes switching from a dedicated mode to a packet idle mode. The cell broadcast channel is reread once after switching from a dedicated mode to a packet idle mode. Other aspects, embodiments and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes searching for service on a public land mobile network (PLMN). The method also includes discovering a cell of a requested PLMN. The method further includes determining that cell selection criteria for the cell is not met. The method additionally includes adding the cell to a monitored list. The method also includes monitoring cells in the monitored list more frequently than cells not in the monitored list. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments are directed to operation of a device supporting multiple SIMs. A method may include detecting a paging collision scenario between a first subscription and at least a second subscription. The method may further include modifying a page reading operation of at least one of the first subscription and the at least a second subscription to avoid a paging collision between the first subscription and the at least a second subscription. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described in the application.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a user equipment (UE) and a method of wireless communication using the UE that includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The method includes determining that the first transceiver is scheduled to communicate using a first transmission simultaneous to the second transceiver being scheduled to communicate using a second transmission, and altering an operation of at least one of the first and second transceivers to mitigate battery voltage droop due to simultaneous transmissions of the transceivers. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for scheduling data packet transmissions on a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) wireless communication device having at least a first SIM and a virtual SIM (VSIM) application associated with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource may include detecting registration of a SIM profile for the VSIM application, in which the VSIM application is provisioned to operate as a VSIM, and determining whether a VSIM management procedure is required for the VSIM. When a VSIM management procedure is required for the VSIM, the wireless communication device may tag data packets associated with the required VSIM management procedure, select a prioritization policy for data packet transmissions on the RF resource, and apply the selected prioritization policy within a transmission queue on the RF resource.

Abstract:
A method for performing cell reselection by a wireless communication device is described. The method includes determining that the wireless communication device should perform reselection to a target cell from a serving cell. The method also includes determining that the wireless communication device does not have paging channel information of the target cell. The method further includes prioritizing reading paging channel information from a broadcast channel of the target cell over reading a paging channel of the serving cell.

Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and apparatus to prevent poor quality handoff decisions in mobile networks. The methods and apparatus effectuate a determination whether a predetermined condition concerning a cell has occurred as detected in the mobile device, such as unsuccessful handoff or a signal to noise ratio being less than a certain amount. Based on such determinations, poor quality handoff decisions can be realized by modifying or configuring the measurement report message to be sent to the serving network where the measurement report is configured to omit information concerning those cells not meeting the predetermined condition. Accordingly, these cells will not be considered in handoff decisions, thus increasing the quality of such decisions.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices are described for managing wireless communication at a user equipment (UE). An exemplary method includes adding an identifier of a cell to a sub-optimal cell list based at least in part on a cell classification determination made by the UE, and avoiding a cell access procedure for the cell based at least in part on inclusion of the identifier in the sub-optimal cell list. Another exemplary method includes maintaining a sub-optimal cell list and an associated priority service exception list, initiating a service on the priority service exception list, identifying inclusion of a cell on the sub-optimal cell list, where the cell is associated with a cell access procedure initiated for the service, and accessing the cell included in the sub-optimal cell list based at least in part on inclusion of the service in the priority service exception list.
