    Abstract: In order to reduce the time delay when transitioning between different communication protocols used to communicate information via a cellular-telephone network, an electronic device (such as a cellular telephone) may only partially disable a software stack associated with a current communication protocol. In particular, after receiving an indicator that there is a message to be communicated using a second communication protocol while the electronic device is currently configured to communicate using a first communication protocol, the electronic device may disable a portion of a software stack associated with the first communication protocol and may enable a software stack associated with the second communication protocol. Then, the electronic device communicates the message using the second communication protocol. Next, the electronic device: may disable the software stack associated with the second communication protocol and may enable the portion of the software stack associated with the first communication protocol.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to reduce power consumption in user equipment (UE) that operates in a connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode while in communication with wireless network are disclosed. A C-DRX warm-up period before the UE enters an on-duration is adjusted dynamically based on one or more factors including a time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) subframe configuration, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values, and Doppler shift values. The C-DRX warm-up period is adapted based on the pattern of DL subframes in the UL/DL subframe configuration by including DL subframes that best contribute to channel estimation and adaptive tracking loops based on measured SNR and Doppler shift conditions. Favorable channel conditions, such as higher SNR and lower Doppler shift, can require fewer DL subframes and consequently shorter C-DRX warm-up periods. Higher Doppler shift values indicate more rapidly varying channel conditions and require DL subframes positioned closer to the start of the on-duration.

    Abstract: Enabling receive diversity based on detecting incorrect paging message length. A paging channel may be monitored. An indication of a paging message may be received on the paging channel. The paging message may include a message length field indicating a message length of the paging message. The message length field of the paging message may be received on the paging channel and decoded. It may be determined that the message length indicated in the message length field is incorrect. Receive diversity may be enabled for at least one subsequent paging occasion in response to determining that the message length indicated in the message length field is incorrect.

    Abstract: Improving transmission control protocol (TCP) uplink performance of a wireless user equipment (UE) device which multiplexes radio resources between multiple radio access technologies (RATs). Radio control may be provided to a radio resource control (RRC) entity that operates according to a first RAT at a first time. The first RAT may utilize TCP packet-switched (PS) communications. As a second time, radio control may be provided to an RRC entity that operates according to a second RAT which utilizes circuit-switched communications in order to check for paging messages. Radio control by the first RAT's RRC entity may be suspended while radio control is provided to the second RAT's RRC entity. An indication that radio control by the first RAT's RRC entity is suspended may be provided to a TCP entity that operates according to the first RAT. The TCP entity may suspend an uplink retransmission timer in response to the indication.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented to facilitate coexistence between multiple wireless communication protocols implemented by a wireless communication device, using a shared antenna, e.g., due to limitations resulting from a small form factor of the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may determine whether communications according to a second protocol are causing performance of communications according to a first protocol to fall below a threshold level. If so, the wireless communication device may operate in a mode that favors communications according to the first protocol. If not, the wireless communication device may operate in a mode that favors communications according to the second protocol. For example, the mode that favors communications according to the first protocol may include temporarily implementing operations to remedy the poor performance of the communications according to the first, e.g., periodically, until the performance of the communications according to the first protocol recovers.
