Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes recording an absolute system frame number (SFN) of a target radio access technology (RAT) and/or recording a relative system frame number (SFN) difference between a serving radio access technology (RAT) and the target RAT. A transmission time interval (TTI) boundary, is determined after redirection, based at least in part on the recorded absolute frame number (SFN) and/or the recorded relative system frame number (SFN) difference.
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.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method of wireless communication is provided. The method may include starting a first timer for changing to a first network cell with a first radio access technology (RAT) and starting a second timer for changing to a second network cell with a second RAT. Further, the method may include changing to the first network cell when the first timer expires. The method may also include determining that the second network cell satisfies a cell change condition and continuing to run the second timer after the change to the first network cell in response to the second network cell satisfying the cell change condition. The method may further include changing to the second network cell after starting a third timer for a third network cell with the first RAT, a duration of the second timer being longer than a duration of the third timer.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may scale down a signal strength of a radio access technology (RAT) cell in a report to a serving cell to avoid multiple connection attempts to the same radio access technology cell. The UE may initiate a predefined timer, called a target cell timer, on which the scaling down of the reported signal strength of the particular RAT cell is based. The timer is initiated when the UE returns back to the serving cell after failure to access a top ranked RAT neighbor cell.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method reduces battery waste. A UE receives a list of GSM neighbor cells and measures the signal strength of each of the GSM cells in the list. The UE performs base station identity code (BSIC) confirm/reconfirm procedures only for the cells having a signal strength above a threshold.
Abstract:
A method for tone detection includes wireless communicating on a first radio access technology (RAT). A determination is made of whether a gap generated by at least one idle timeslot in the first RAT communications is sufficient to perform tone detection but not sufficient to perform base station identity code (BSIC) verification of a second RAT. The halting of the performance of tone detection of the second RAT is made when the gap is not sufficient to perform BSIC verification.

Abstract:
An intelligent buffer size reporting process includes determining whether a signal strength of a first radio access technology (RAT) is below a first threshold value. A false buffer size of zero is reported when the signal strength of the first RAT is below the first threshold value for a period of time. A signal strength of a second RAT is measured using uplink timeslots resulting from the reported false buffer size of zero.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method to avoid strong interference includes measuring all cells on a neighbor frequency indicated by a network on a neighbor list. A first and second set of cells are identified. The identified first set of cells are from the neighbor list and have a first signal strength a first predefined amount above a serving cell signal strength. The second set of cells are not on the neighbor list and have a second signal strength above a first threshold signal value. The first signal strength of the first set of cells and the second signal strength of the second set of cells are compared to determine whether to send a measurement report for the first set of cells.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication adjusts the transmit power for high speed data communications. A UE determines whether a random access channel is configured on an uplink traffic time slot. When the random access channel is configured on the uplink traffic time slot, the UE transmits a high speed data channel with adjusted transmit (TX) power based at least in part on transmit power used for a scheduling request.
