Abstract:
A system and method for wireless communication reduces the number of number of preambles transmitted in a random access channel (RACH) process. The RACH preamble is transmitted at a maximum transmit power. When a RACH response has not been received, the maximum transmit power is adjusted.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with a base station. The UE may receive, from the base station, parameters associated with a set of frequency bands, the parameters indicating a priority of each frequency band of the set of frequency bands. The UE may then measure, based on the priority, one or more frequencies of at least one frequency band of the set of frequency bands. The UE may then transmit, after a time delay and to the base station, a measurement report including measurements of one or more frequency bands of the set of frequency bands.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for wireless communication are provided. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may obtain a gain value based on a difference between an reference signal receive power (RSRP) value of a first antenna and an RSRP value of a second antenna, where the first antenna may be located on an exterior of the UE and the second antenna may be located within an interior of the UE. Further, in some aspects, the UE may obtain an antenna gain value based at least on a random access channel (RACH) power value and a reference signal receive quality (RSRQ) offset value. Additionally, in some aspects, the UE may obtain the antenna gain value based on one of a matching entry in a memory log or a minimum of a maximum antenna gain value or an aggregation of a RACH gain value and an RSRQ offset value.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may include memory and at least one processor, coupled to the memory, configured to determine a power parameter associated with communication using a first radio access technology (RAT). The at least one processor may be further configured to determine a quality parameter associated with the communication using the first RAT. The at least one processor may be further configured to apply, based on the quality parameter, an offset to the power parameter to form a modified power parameter. The at least one processor may be further configured to transmit a measurement report including the modified power parameter. The apparatus may be a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE) and, more specifically, a high gain UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for thermal management of a wireless communication device. The described techniques may be used, for example, to monitor an operating temperature of the device to determine if the operating temperature has exceeded a threshold value. Other aspects may provide for monitoring of a PA temperature, a transmission power level, and/or input from one or more additional sensors associated with the wireless communication device. Based on any of the above inputs, alone or in combination, an operating temperature of the wireless communication device may be determined When the temperature exceeds the threshold value, a transmission antenna can be switched from a first antenna to a second antenna. Additional aspects may provide for reduction of the transmission power level in response to the operating temperature exceeding the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to identifying a cell as a handover candidate in coverage areas based on decoding a secondary synchronization signal and/or a primary broadcast channel of the handover candidate cell. An example method generally includes initiating a search for a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) for a first cell of one or more handover candidate cells, and reporting the first cell as a handover candidate in a measurement report if the SSS for the first cell is detected a threshold number of times.
Abstract:
Enhanced techniques may be used for identifying and reporting collision-based scenarios. In one example, a wireless modem measures a number of signals received from a number of devices that are located on the same chip as the wireless modem when a physical link between the wireless modem and an accelerometer is broken, the accelerometer is inoperable, or a combination thereof. In the event of a collision event, the wireless modem may use the measured signals to determine that the collision event has occurred and may transmit an indication of the collision event. For instance, the wireless modem may use signals from an audio sensor, a motion sensor, a global navigation satellite system (GNSS), or the like.
Abstract:
A multi-antenna device configured for addressing connection performance issues in UL/DL imbalance scenarios is described. The device may identify a potential UL/DL imbalance scenario and select signal measurements associated with either a primary antenna or a diversity antenna for mobility procedures and/or mobility measurement reporting based on the detected imbalance. In one example, the device may receive a signal at both the primary and a diversity antenna and may identify an imbalance between the primary and diversity signal measurements. The device may then compare the identified imbalance with an imbalance threshold and may select the primary or diversity signal measurement for mobility procedures and/or measurement reporting based at least in part on the comparison. For instance, if the imbalance is greater than the imbalance threshold the device may use the primary signal measurements and may otherwise use the stronger of the primary or diversity signal measurements.
