Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices for prioritizing communication technologies to allocate resources in a mobile device. The mobile device may employ a dual subscription, dual active (DSDA) configuration in which two subscriptions may be associated with concurrently active communications, such as voice or data calls. The mobile device may identify current states that indicate the type of communications associated with the subscriptions. In an embodiment, an applications processor within the mobile device may perform the state identifications. The mobile device may determine priorities of the concurrently active subscriptions based on the identified states. In an embodiment, the priorities may be determined by a modem processor within the mobile device. When the priorities are determined to be the same, the mobile device may perform a tiebreaker algorithm to further identify priorities. Based on the determined priorities, the mobile device may allocate resources to favor the subscription with the higher priority.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for to managing use of a satellite positions system (SPS) receiver in conjunction with one or more radio access technology (RAT) transmitters. In certain embodiments, a controller can be used to prioritize reception by the SPS receiver over transmission by the one or more RAT transmitters.
Abstract:
Various embodiments implemented on a mobile communication device leverage the availability of a plurality of coexistence mitigation strategies to choose a coexistence mitigation strategy that may be most successful in avoiding and/or mitigating coexistence interference between an aggressor RAT and a victim RAT. In response to determining that a coexistence event between the aggressor RAT and the victim RAT is occurring or is about to occur, a processor on the mobile communication device may determine various priority criteria related to the mobile communication device's current circumstances (e.g., network resources, device resources, etc.) and/or related to each available coexistence mitigation strategy. Using these determined priority criteria, the device processor may select and implement a coexistence mitigation strategy that may be the most suitable for avoiding/mitigating coexistence interference between the aggressor RAT and the victim RAT given the current condition, circumstances, etc. of the mobile communication device.
Abstract:
The various embodiments include a dual-SIM-dual-active (DSDA) device and methods for implementing robust receive (Rx) processing to resolve radio frequency coexistence interference between two subscriptions operating on the DSDA device. The DSDA device may detect when a subscription (the “aggressor”) de-senses the other subscription (the “victim”) as a result of the aggressor's transmissions, and in response, implement robust Rx processing to mitigate the effects of de-sense on the victim while causing minimal impact to the aggressor.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide for an access terminal configured to enable communication with two or more wireless communications networks simultaneously. According to some aspects of the disclosure, an access terminal (e.g., dual-SIM access terminal) can be active simultaneously on both networks with reduced interference between transmission and reception. A number of different techniques for mitigating desense on a victim's Rx are illustrated in this disclosure with a GSM aggressor and an EV-DO victim as non-limiting examples. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to mechanisms designed to help improve dynamic sharing of one or more receive chains among different radio access technologies (RATs). For example, the mechanisms may be used with LTE and other RATs where Carrier Aggregation is used for simultaneous voice and LTE (SV-LTE) applications.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for managing mobility in a multi-radio device are provided. One example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first radio access technology (RAT); receiving a message to redirect from a second channel to the first channel; determining the first channel is in a set of one or more blocked channels not usable for the first RAT; and in response to the determination, taking one or more actions. Another example method generally includes detecting that a first channel is not usable for communicating via a first RAT and providing an indication to a network that a user equipment (UE) no longer supports the first channel.
Abstract:
Managing of secondary carriers for a multicarrier user equipment (UE) is described in which the UE initiates or provides input for activation and deactivation of selected secondary cells in a carrier aggregation depending on allocation or provisioning of UE radio frequency resources.
