Abstract: Methods and apparatus for dynamic search management in a multi-mode device. In one embodiment, a mobile device performs network search and acquisition by dynamically changing search delays and/or search frequencies. In one implementation, the mobile device adjusts the amount of time allocated for each network search based on e.g., previous network connection history (e.g., previously connected to a home network, previously connected to a roaming network), device conditions, user preferences, geographical information, etc. By focusing search effort on cellular technologies which have a high likelihood of success, the mobile device can greatly improve search time and reduce unnecessary power consumption.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may camp on a network following a SIM bootup. Specifically, the UE may determine that a SIM implementation module of the UE includes a first SIM application (e.g., USIM) associated with a first cellular radio access technology (RAT) (e.g., LTE) and a second SIM application (e.g., CSIM) associated with a second cellular RAT (e.g., CDMA). The UE may then initialize the first SIM application and the second SIM application. The UE may determine whether the network is configured to support both voice and data communications using the first cellular RAT. If so, the UE may initiate camping on the network with the first cellular RAT in response to determining that the first SIM application is ready, but before the second SIM application is ready. If not, the UE may wait until both the first and second SIM applications are ready before initiating camping on the network.

Abstract: A method for network access credential migration is provided. The method can include deprovisioning a network access credential for a wireless network from a first wireless communication device. The method can further include determining that the network access credential has been successfully deprovisioned from the first wireless communication device. The method can additionally include provisioning the network access credential to the second wireless communication device after the network access credential has been successfully deprovisioned from the first wireless communication device.

Abstract: A method to control measurement messaging is performed at a mobile wireless device. The mobile wireless device transmits a first measurement message to a radio access network in a wireless network and stores the first measurement message pending receipt of an acknowledgement from the radio access network. Before receiving the acknowledgement to the first measurement message, the mobile wireless device determines at least one parameter included in the first measurement message requires updating. The mobile wireless device deletes the stored pending first measurement message and transmits a second measurement message to the radio access network including an updated value for the at least one parameter in the first measurement message.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described to compensate for radio frequency link imbalances in a wireless communication device. Processing circuitry in the wireless communication device detects a radio frequency link imbalance for a bi-directional communication link. The wireless communication device biases one or more operational parameters of the wireless communication device to adjust for a performance degradation induced by the radio frequency link imbalance. The wireless communication device determines whether a trigger condition for cell selection, reselection, or handover occurs based on the biased operational parameters, and when the trigger condition occurs, performs a remediating action to compensate for the radio frequency link imbalance. Remediation can include performing an intra-RAT or inter-RAT reselection or handover.

Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) device and associated method for operating a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE may store a preferred roaming list in a memory. The preferred roaming list may comprise a plurality of system records which specify radio access technologies that can be used by the UE. The UE may examine the preferred roaming list to delete any duplicate system records in the PRL for respective geographic locations (GEOs). This may operate to mitigate the problems created by duplicate listing of system records within the PRL. In particular, the removal of redundant system records within the PRL may reduce or eliminate unneeded or undesired BSR algorithm execution. In addition, the removal of redundant system records within the PRL may reduce temporal service outages, since no service origination is allowed while the UE is attempting to find the most preferred system.

Abstract translation: 用户设备（UE）设备和用于在无线通信系统中操作用户设备（UE）的相关方法。 UE可以将优选的漫游列表存储在存储器中。 优选的漫游列表可以包括指定可由UE使用的无线电接入技术的多个系统记录。 UE可以检查优选的漫游列表以删除PRL中针对各个地理位置（GEO）的任何重复的系统记录。 这样做可以减轻在PRL内重复列出系统记录所产生的问题。 特别地，去除PRL内的冗余系统记录可以减少或消除不需要的或不期望的BSR算法执行。 此外，由于在UE尝试找到最优选的系统时不允许服务发起，所以在PRL内删除冗余系统记录可以减少时间服务中断。
