    Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with first and second receivers. Each receiver may include circuitry for receiving radio-frequency signals using a first radio access technology (RAT) and using second or additional RATs. The wireless circuitry may perform system selection in which the receivers attempt to acquire a signal transmitted by a base station using different RATs. The first receiver and the second receiver may concurrently perform system selection in which the first receiver performs a band scan over the first RAT while the second receiver concurrently performs a band scan over a second or additional RAT. Additional band scans may be performed as needed until a signal is acquired. Once a signal is acquired, the wireless circuitry may establish cellular communications with the wireless base station based on the acquired signal. This may minimize the amount of time required to begin cellular telephone communications in many situations.

    Abstract: Embodiments are presented herein of apparatuses, systems, and methods for a user equipment (UE) device to adaptively enhance the quality of service (QoS) configuration of a bearer of communications conducted over a cellular network between a UE application and a server. The UE may use various information, including a QoS profile associated with the application, to determine requested QoS parameters and/or whether the UE is permitted to request or access enhanced QoS functionality. The UE may then send a request to the cellular network indicating the requested QoS parameters, and the network may adjust the QoS configuration of the bearer in response. The UE and the network may perform routine QoS measurements and exchange information in order to adaptively maintain and optimize the QoS configuration. These techniques may tend to provide more appropriate QoS to the application, which may improve user experience.

    Abstract: A method for determining whether to allow performance of an inter-radio access technology (IRAT) transition is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device determining a realized quality of service (QoS) for packet switched data traffic on a first radio access technology (RAT); determining whether the realized QoS satisfies a threshold QoS; suspending IRAT transition to a second RAT in an instance in which it is determined that the realized QoS satisfies the threshold QoS; and allowing IRAT transition to the second RAT in an instance in which it is determined that the realized QoS does not satisfy the threshold QoS.

    Abstract: Generating and using a device-type specific preferred public land mobile network (PLMN) list for roaming PLMN selection. Wireless devices sharing one or more common characteristics may be tasked with collecting roaming PLMN selection data. That data may be collected and used to generate a preferred PLMN list specific to wireless devices sharing those common characteristics. The preferred PLMN list may be distributed to wireless devices sharing those common characteristics, which may then use it in conjunction with roaming PLMN selection.
