Abstract:
Aspects of present methods and apparatus relating to recovering from a HS-SCCH decode failure during wireless communication are disclosed. The described aspects include detecting that one or more packet data units (PDUs) are being transmitted on an uplink channel, wherein at least one of the one or more PDUs includes a POLL BIT set to TRUE. The described aspects further include determining that a time period for unsuccessful downlink scheduling satisfies a threshold; and. The described aspects further include triggering a cell update procedure with a cell update cause set to Radio Link Control (RLC) unrecoverable error (UNREC ERROR) based on the determination that the one or more PDUs are being transmitted on the uplink channel and that the time period for unsuccessful downlink scheduling satisfies the threshold.
Abstract:
Aspects of user equipment capability reporting include receiving a paging signal for a second subscription during a tune away from an active voice call on a first subscription, sending a report of less than a full set of user equipment capability information to the network for the second subscription during a connection setup in response to the paging signal for the second subscription, extracting a caller identification (ID) associated with the paging signal for the second subscription during the tune away from the voice call on the first subscription, and initiating a transmission to the network for sending the full set of UE capability information for the second subscription in response to the voice call on the first subscription ending.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for handling collisions between multiple radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment procedures for multiple connection events, such as mobile terminating pages and tracking area updates.
Abstract:
Methods for conserving power in a multi-mode wireless device capable of communicating via a first radio access technology (RAT) and second RAT in which communication using the first RAT is preferred are disclosed. Various embodiments may include methods to determine whether a condition warrants attempting a connection with the first RAT in response to the multi-mode wireless device communicating using the second RAT, in response to determining that no condition warrants attempting a wireless connection using the first RAT, continue to communicate using the second RAT for a first duration before again determining whether a condition warrants attempting a connection with the first RAT, and determine whether a connection can be made to the first preferred RAT in response to determining that a condition warrants attempting a wireless connection using the first RAT.
Abstract:
Device wakeups can consume a significant amount of power with respect to the device's total power battery lifetime. Aspects of a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are presented herein that provide a solution to the problem of battery strain by improving the manner in which a wireless device coordinates device wakeup for multiple applications or multiple operations. An apparatus receives a wakeup time interval from each of a plurality of applications. The apparatus forms a first device wakeup time interval, the first device wakeup time interval including overlapping wakeup time intervals for the plurality of applications. The apparatus schedules a device wakeup during at least the first device wakeup time interval.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for avoiding conflicts between evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (eMBMS) operations and paging and/or mobile originated (MO) operations in communication systems. A method for wireless communications by a user Equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes identifying at least one evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) session available for receiving one or more eMBMS services from a base station. The method also includes taking one or more actions to reduce a conflict between receiving the one or more eMBMS services from the base station and receiving a paging message from the base station during the eMBMS session. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for detecting voice distortion are disclosed. In some aspects, a communication device may decode a silence insertion descriptor (SID) frame to identify a pattern associated with the SID frame and correlate the pattern with a reference pattern for the SID frame. Based on the correlating, the communication device, in some examples, may determine whether the SID frame is de-synchronized. In one or more examples, determining whether the SID frame is de-synchronized may comprise determining that a consecutive N number of SID frames fail to match the reference pattern. Additionally or alternatively, the communication device may adjust at least one parameter to re-synchronize a voice signal associated with the SID frame upon determining that the SID frame is de-synchronized.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for synchronizing security parameters between access terminals and a wireless network. An access terminal and network entity can conduct a security mode procedure where the access terminal sends a security mode complete message to the network entity. On receipt of the security mode complete message, the network entity may update to new security parameters. The access terminal may initiate a mobility procedure while the security mode procedure is ongoing and may, as a result, abort the security mode procedure and revert back to the old security parameters. The access terminal can send a mobility update message to the network entity including a dedicated status indicator adapted to inform the network entity that the access terminal has reverted back to the old security parameters. In response to the mobility update message, the network entity may revert back to the old security parameters.
Abstract:
The present methods and apparatus relate to adapting a network configured timer corresponding to a user equipment (UE) capability information procedure for indicating one or more UE capabilities to a network entity, comprising determining a message size of a capability message configured for transmission from the UE to the network entity during the UE capability information procedure; and performing a timer adaptation procedure, wherein the timer adaptation procedure includes adapting the use of the network configured timer based on the message size of the capability message.
Abstract:
Described herein are various aspects related to determining whether to read system information of a network entity. A user equipment (UE) can receive system information transmitted by a network entity. The UE can analyze one or more parameters of the system information to determine whether system information for the network entity has changed when a value tag broadcasted in the system information is equivalent to a stored value tag for the network entity; thus the UE can utilize more than just the value tag, such as system information size, system information scheduling, a value tag in master information, and/or the like, at least in instance where the value tag may be the same in different transmissions of the system information. The UE can process the system information for the network entity based at least in part on determining that the system information for the network entity has changed.
