Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for selecting a serving cell in a communication network for reducing power consumption in a UE, is provided. Network topology information is determined by obtaining cell rank information for the UE, extracting a mobility state of the UE, and applying a double moving average principle to the cell rank information of the UE. The network topology information is employed to determine a change in network topology. Radio Frequency (RF) scans are optimized based on the network topology.
Abstract:
Method for sidelink operations for Proximity based Services (ProSe) in a multi Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) multi standby User Equipment (UE), the UE including at least a first SIM and a second SIM, may include detecting, by a sidelink management unit, whether one or more sidelink operations are triggered on the first SIM, the UE registered for the ProSe, determining, by the sidelink management unit, whether the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM are for a first activity or for one or more second activities, and reserving, by the sidelink management unit, at least one Radio Frequency (RF) resource of the UE for the first SIM to continue the one or more sidelink operations triggered on the first SIM if the one or more triggered sidelink operations are for the first activity.
