Abstract: Methods and apparatus for client-based capabilities management for e.g., heterogeneous networks. In one exemplary embodiment, a client device associated with a cellular (e.g., EV-DO) network attempts to negotiate a session with a visited network while roaming. The negotiated session is selected from only the set of available capabilities (only the personalities which have a roaming agreement between the home network and the visited network), to ensure that the session negotiation can complete successfully. Once the session is negotiated, the visited network can execute standard authentication and authorization procedures with the assistance of the home network.

Abstract: Determining whether to operate in a single radio access technology (RAT) mode or a dual RAT mode for a user equipment (UE) having a radio capable of communicating using at least a first RAT and a second RAT. The UE may determine whether current path loss for the first RAT exceeds a maximum path loss. Based on the results of determining whether the current path loss for the first RAT exceeds the maximum path loss, the UE may determine whether to operate in the single RAT mode or the dual RAT mode. Accordingly, based on this determination, the UE may operate in the single RAT mode or the dual RAT mode based on the determination.

Abstract translation: 确定是否使用具有能够使用至少第一RAT和第二RAT进行通信的无线电的用户设备（UE）在单个无线电接入技术（RAT）模式或双RAT模式中操作。 UE可以确定第一RAT的当前路径损耗是否超过最大路径损耗。 基于确定第一RAT的当前路径损耗是否超过最大路径损耗的结果，UE可以确定是在单RAT模式还是双RAT模式中操作。 因此，基于该确定，UE可以基于该确定在单RAT模式或双RAT模式下操作。

Abstract: Apparatus, system, and method for notifying a mobile station of an incoming circuit switched call during a packet switched session. During the packet switched session, a mobile station may receive a call notification of the circuit switched call. The call notification may be received via a packet switched network associated with the packet switched session. Additionally, the call notification may identify a calling party. In response, an indication of the circuit switched call may be displayed to a user on a display of the mobile station. This indication of the circuit switched call may identify the calling party. Additionally, the indication may be displayed while maintaining the packet switched session. In response, the user may provide input to the mobile station regarding whether to accept the circuit switched call. Based on this input, the mobile station may accept or reject the circuit switched call.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for suspending session state during hybrid network operation. In one exemplary embodiment, a cellular device uses a single-radio solution to support circuit-switched calls on a CDMA 1× network and packet-switched calls on LTE. Periodically, the cellular device tunes away from LTE and monitors CDMA 1× activity, and vice versa. During these tuned-away periods, the client device may suspend operation on the tuned away network for extended tune away intervals.

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.
