Abstract:
A method and system for wireless communications at a user equipment utilizes buffer status reporting during call setup, including voice-over IP (VoIP) call setup. The UE determines it has no data in a data buffer to send during a call setup. The UE then sends a first scheduling request and a non-zero buffer status for the data buffer during the call setup before a data inactivity timer expires.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) improves handover throughput by reducing communication interruptions during a handover transition. To reduce the communication interruptions, the UE determines whether to perform a synchronization channel decoding procedure for a synchronized handover to a second radio access technology (RAT) after receiving a handover command from one or more serving cells of a first RAT. The determination includes determining whether a communication condition is satisfied and performing the synchronized handover based on whether the communication condition is satisfied. The synchronization channel decoding procedure includes frequency correction channel (FCCH) tone detection and/or synchronization channel (SCH) decoding after the UE transitions to a target cell of the second RAT.
Abstract:
For a user equipment in a transmitter sharing dual subscriber identity module (SIM) dual active subscriptions (DSDA) mode, a first subscription of a first radio access technology (RAT) in a packet switched data call in general has a lower priority than a second subscription in an active voice call in a second RAT. As a result of this default high priority assigned to the active voice call, the first subscription may experience long delay, low throughput or in some cases radio link failure due to long starvations. A method for wireless communication includes detecting whether an uplink transmission within a frame of the second RAT overlaps at least one time slot of the first RAT. The method also includes prioritizing data of the first RAT by blanking the frame of the second RAT when a number of overlapping slots is above a threshold.
Abstract:
For a multi-receive multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) UE, one SIM or subscription may help with measurements of another SIM or subscription to help address the issue of large latency caused by insufficient measurement gaps. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment with a first subscription and a second subscription includes forwarding a neighbor cell list from the first subscription to the second subscription when preparing for measurement. The method also includes performing, by the second subscription, measurements of neighbors from the neighbor cell list. The method further includes forwarding the measurements of neighbors from the neighbor cell list, from the second subscription, to the first subscription. The first subscription may measure a portion of the neighbors from the neighbor list while the second subscription measures another portion of the neighbor. The second subscription may or may not tune from a serving RAT to perform the measurements.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) adjusts a rate of performing searches and/or measurements of neighbor cells to conserve resources of the UE. In one instance, the UE independently determines whether to perform the searches and/or measurements of the neighbor cells of first and second RATs based on a signal quality of a serving cell of a first RAT and/or a signal quality of the neighbor cell(s) of the first RAT. The UE avoids performing the searches and/or measurements of the neighbor cell(s) when the signal quality of the serving cell is above a first threshold. The UE selectively performs the searches and/or measurements when the signal quality of the serving cell is above a second threshold and below the first threshold, and the signal quality of the neighbor cell(s) of the first RAT is above the second threshold or a third threshold.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication prioritizes which frequencies to measure when performing cell reselection in a wireless network. A measurement time is distributed among detected cells of a low priority frequency based at least in part on whether each detected cell meets a cell reselection trigger condition.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) receives a circuit switched page from a first base station of a first radio access technology (RAT) and a command instructing the UE to redirect from the first base station to a second RAT. The UE identifies a second base station of the second RAT in response to receiving the command. The second base station is the strongest base station in the second RAT and has a location area code. The UE determines whether the location area code corresponds to a location area code associated with a previous successful redirection attempt from the first base station. The UE redirects to the second RAT based at least in part on the determining.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) including a single receiver tunes away from a first communication entity to perform a communication activity for a second communication entity during a network configured measurement gap associated with a first communication entity. In one instance, the user equipment performs the communication activity for the second SIM when the user equipment determines that a page of the second SIM occurs during the network configured measurement gap. The UE also performs inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement during the network configured measurement gap.
Abstract:
A method and/or apparatus for wireless communication determines whether circuit switched fall back (CSFB) occurred from a first RAT to a second RAT. A call is handed over from the second RAT to the third RAT and a UE attempts to return directly to the first RAT from the third RAT when the CSFB occurred and the call is released from the third RAT.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a data grant for multiple retransmission time slots associated with successfully decoded high speed data. The grant is in response to a base station detecting a NACK. The method also includes tuning away from a serving cell during the retransmission time slots.
