Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses relating to wireless communication of a user equipment (UE) are provided including receiving an indication to perform a call origination procedure when communicating in a serving cell, selecting a neighbor cell for performing the call origination procedure based at least in part on receiving the indication and performing the call origination procedure with a wireless network using the neighbor cell after selecting the neighbor cell in response to receiving the indication. Selecting the neighbor cell can include performing reselection or switching subscriptions in a multiple subscription UE while delaying the call origination procedure until after the selection.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may perform an inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement in time slots not deemed to be carrying critical data. In such instances, the UE only transmits and decodes critical data in the critical time slots when a serving cell signal is low for a determined period of time. Otherwise, when the time slots do not carry critical data, i.e., non-critical time slots, the UE stops transmitting and decoding and uses the non-critical time slots for IRAT measurement.
Abstract:
Described herein are aspects related to communicating with a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, wherein a set of multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) resources is allocated for communication between a mobile station (MS) and a base station (BS) of the first RAT. A request message is sent to the BS of the first RAT requesting reallocation of at least a portion of the set of MIMO resources in a scan duration. During the scan duration, signals are received from a BS of the second RAT over a reallocated subset of the set of MIMO resources and communications occur with the BS of the first RAT over a non-reallocated subset of the set of MIMO resources. During a normal duration subsequent to the scan duration, communications occur with the BS of the first RAT using the set of MIMO resources including at least some of the reallocated subset of the set of MIMO resources.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is configured to maintain an updated frequency list for pseudo-fast return handover. The UE receives a frequency list for pseudo fast return when the UE is in an idle mode in a first radio access technology (RAT). When the UE is in a connected mode in a second RAT, the list is updated based on actual UE inter- and intra-frequency measurements of the first RAT during mobility.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes determining whether a serving cell signal strength is below a first threshold. The method also includes determining whether an inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength is below a second threshold. The method further includes determining whether a number of idle traffic time slots for inter-radio access technology IRAT measurements is less than a third threshold. Finally, a frequency of IRAT measurements in time slot zero (TS0), a downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), an uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and a gap (GP) is increased. The increase is based on the determined serving cell signal strength, the determined inter/intra frequency neighbor cell signal strength, and the determined number of idle traffic time slots.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method includes measuring a first signal from a first neighbor base station until a first timer expires. Also measured is a second signal from a second neighbor base station until a second timer expires. The first signal is compared with the second signal. A measurement report of the first signal is delayed when the second signal is better than the first signal and the first timer expires prior to the second timer.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes returning to a base station after a handover failure. The method also includes measuring a length of time between receiving a handover command and returning to the base station. The method further includes setting a physical uplink channel transmit power based on the measured length of time. The physical uplink channel can be an enhanced physical uplink channel (E-PUCH) of a high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA)wireless network.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for concurrently performing handoff-related measurements for neighbor cells using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna resources. In one example, a mobile device is in communication with a serving cell. Handoff-related measurements of first wireless signals from a first neighbor cell are performed. The first wireless signals are received at first MIMO antenna resources of a device. Handoff-related measurements of second wireless signals from a second neighbor cell are performed, as well. The second wireless signals are received at second MIMO antenna resources concurrently with the first wireless signals received at the first MIMO antenna resources. The first handoff-related measurements and the second handoff-related measurements may be performed during a scan interval. A type of handoff-related measurement to perform may be determined based on a determined length of the scan interval.
Abstract:
A UE is configured to collect multiple absolute radio frequency channel numbers (ARFCNs) in parallel via a wideband receiver during a transmission gap. Inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements are performed based on the collected AFRCN samples.
