Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to providing an indication that a user equipment (UE) is within coverage by a particular network are provided. An example method of wireless communications obtaining, by a first wireless communication device from a second device associated with a second network, information regarding whether the first wireless communication device is within coverage by a first network. The first wireless communication device supports dual connectivity with the first network and the second network. The method also includes determining, based at least in part on the information, whether to display an icon indicating that the first wireless communication device is connected to the first network. The method further includes in response to a determination to display the icon, displaying, by the first wireless communication device, the icon on a display coupled to the first wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for performing remote authentication of a virtual subscriber identity module (SIM) on a mobile communication device include receiving, on a first subscription of the mobile communication device, an authentication request from a virtual SIM network. The mobile communication device may tune from the first subscription to a second subscription of the mobile communication device to send the authentication request to a remote server and periodically perform tune-aways between the first subscription and the second subscription while determining whether the remote server has sent an authentication response through the second subscription. The mobile communication device may send the authentication response to the virtual SIM network through the first subscription in response to determining that the remote server has sent an authentication response through the second subscription.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include multi-subscription multi-standby (MSMS) communication devices and methods for managing reception of data using a first subscription following a tune-away by a radio frequency (RF) resource chain from the first subscription to a second subscription. In various embodiments the MSMS communication device may receive data over the first subscription during a warm-up period of the RF resource chain following completion of the tune-away. In some embodiments, the device processor may receive the data over the first subscription during the warm-up period using one or more channel parameters of the first subscription determined before the tune-away. In some embodiments, the device processor may receive data over the first subscription during the warm-up period using one or more channel parameters of the first subscription determined initially during the warm-up period.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include multi-subscription multi-standby communication devices and methods for managing communication activity. A device processor of the multi-subscription multi-standby communication device may determine a timing of an upcoming tune-away from a first subscription to a second subscription, and may determine whether an upcoming communication activity on the first subscription is a critical communication activity. The device processor may determine whether the upcoming tune-away and the upcoming communication activity will collide in response to determining that the upcoming communication activity is a critical communication activity, and may schedule one or both of the upcoming critical communication activity and the tune-away to prevent the collision in response to determining that the upcoming tune-away and the upcoming communication activity will collide.
Abstract:
Various embodiments include methods and apparatuses for responding to a page message for a mobile-terminated call by a wireless communication device using a single radio Long-term Evolution (LTE) mode. A wireless communication device may receive the page message for the mobile-terminated call, release resources of the wireless communication device owned by a non-LTE voice radio access technology receiving the page message, and execute an extended service request by an LTE radio access technology. The wireless communication device may search for a network for responding to the page message after the extended service request is completed. The network may be from a set of networks including a serving pilot network, a preapproved pilot network, and an unapproved pilot network, and each of the pilot networks may belong to a first base station. The wireless communication device may send a page message response using the network in response to finding the network.

Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for scheduling subscriptions in a user equipment (UE) having at least a first receive radio and a second receive radio, including receiving, by the first receive radio, a broadcast activity for a first subscription and receiving, by the second receive radio, a reception activity for a second subscription. A trigger event is detected while the broadcast activity for the first subscription is being received by the first receive radio and the reception activity for the second subscription is being received by the second receive radio. In response to detecting the trigger event, the reception activity for the second subscription is received by the first receive radio and the broadcast activity for the first subscription is received by the second receive radio.
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 method for improving data throughput on a subscription includes: filtering data traffic throughput on a first subscription; comparing the filtered data traffic throughput to a threshold data rate; determining if the filtered data traffic throughput is greater than a threshold data rate value; and in response to a determination that the filtered data traffic throughput is equal to or less than the threshold data rate value, determining whether a tune away (TA) mode different than a first TA mode increases data traffic throughput on the first subscription.
Abstract:
A wireless communication device for thermal mitigation with multiple processors is described. The wireless communication device includes a first communications processor that processes a data call. The wireless communication device also includes a second communications processor coupled to the first communications processor. The first communications processor performs a thermal mitigation operation by sending instructions to the second communications processor when at least one thermal threshold is reached. The second communications processor receives and executes the instructions.
