Abstract: Performing selective tune-away by a user equipment (UE). The UE may include a first radio that is configurable to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The UE may use the radio to communicate using the first RAT and the second RAT using the first radio. The UE may perform handover for the first RAT. During handover, the UE may perform a page decoding for the second RAT, but may not perform (e.g., may block) neighbor cell detection for the second RAT during the handover of the first RAT. After completion of the handover, the UE may perform neighbor cell detection for the second RAT.

Abstract: Various mechanisms for paging link-budget-limited (LBL) devices are disclosed, including: (1) transmitting paging message with non-conventional paging identifier; (2) transmitting paging message(s) with increased power; (3) repeating transmission of paging message to support combining at receiver. Various mechanisms for UE device to signal LBL status are disclosed, including, transmitting status flag or special value of DRX cycle to network node as part of tracking area update and/or attach request. The network node informs a base station of the device's LBL status as part of a paging message. (The network node may, e.g., assign an S-RNTI to the LBL device from a reserved subset of S-RNTI space.) The base station invokes a paging enhancement mechanism when paging an LBL device. Alternatively, the base station may page UE devices without knowledge of LBL status, e.g., by counting paging attempts for a given UE, and boosting power after the Nth paging attempt.

Abstract: Operating a UE device having a single radio configured to communicate using a first and second RAT. The UE may begin operating in a connected discontinuous reception (CDRX) mode of the first RAT, where the CDRX mode comprises an on duration timer and an inactivity timer. The method may determine that the single radio of the UE is being used for a second RAT during the CDRX mode. The UE may operate at least one of a CDRX on duration timer or an inactivity timer of the first RAT while the single radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT. While the single radio of the UE is being used for the second RAT, the at least one of the CDRX on duration timer or the inactivity timer may operate even though no communication or monitoring is performed on the first RAT.

Abstract: Using a frequency error estimate (FEE) of a first RAT for a second RAT. The UE may include a first radio which supports, e.g., simultaneously, a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The first radio may use a lesser frequency of sleep and wake-up cycles when operating according to the first RAT than when operating according to the second RAT. The UE may perform a FEE associated with the first RAT. Accordingly, the UE may skip an FEE associated with the second RAT based on performing the FEE associated with the first RAT.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that configure wireless circuitry of a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device establishes a connection to a first wireless network using first and second receiving signaling chains. In response to detecting a radio frequency tune-away event, the wireless communication device reconfigures only one of the radio frequency signaling chains to receive signals from a second wireless network when a set of receive signal conditions for the second wireless network is satisfied. The wireless communication device reconfigures both of the radio frequency signaling chains to the second wireless network when the set of receive signal conditions is not satisfied.

Abstract: A method using multiple receivers of a wireless communication device to accelerate cell selection and reselection is disclosed. Multiple receivers of the wireless device are used to implement carrier aggregation in LTE connected mode. The multiple receivers of the wireless device are used to search for cells concurrently across multiple radio frequency bands and/or multiple radio access technologies during cell selection and/or cell reselection procedures. A first receiver and a second receiver of the wireless device each search for cells over different radio frequency bands simultaneously, and accordingly the cell selection and reselection time is effectively reduced compared to using only one receiver. Multiple receivers are also used concurrently, in parallel, to accelerate inter-frequency cell detection and measurement and for inter-RAT searches and measurements.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that manage transmit power levels for a wireless device connected to a network access system of a wireless network. Processing circuitry in the wireless device obtains a target average transmit power level. Based on estimates of an actual average transmit power level for a sliding window of a past time period and the target average transmit power level, the processing circuitry determines a target transmit power level, a duty cycle percentage, and a transmit pattern of transmit on frames and transmit off frames for a future time period. The processing circuitry sends to the access network system signaling messages indicating non-zero valued buffer status reports for the transmit on frames and zero valued buffer status reports for the transmit off frames. Non-zero values correspond to actual amounts of pending uplink data, while zero values are sent irrespective of actual uplink buffer status.
