Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) reduces call drop during a measurement procedures. In one instance the UE determines whether a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) off period in a C-DRX cycle is longer than a synchronization channel repetition period of a neighbor radio access technology (RAT). The UE then performs inter RAT measurement when the C-DRX off period in the C-DRX cycle is longer and a serving cell signal quality is below the UE determined threshold. The UE sleeps when the C-DRX off period is shorter or the serving cell signal quality is above the UE determined threshold.
Abstract:
A method and system for wireless communication in a time division duplex (TDD) system in a multi-SIM (subscriber identity module) multi-standby, single receiver UE (user equipment), adjusts a tune away procedure based on a current time division duplexing (TDD) uplink/downlink configuration and/or number of active component carrier of carrier aggregation. The UE (user equipment) determines when to start a tune away from a first RAT (radio access technology) to a second RAT (radio access technology) based, at least in part, on a current TDD (time division duplexing) uplink/downlink configuration of the first RAT (radio access technology).
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) reduces handover failure when the UE is prematurely handed over to a target cell during a single radio-voice call continuity (SRVCC) procedure or when the target cell is unavailable. In one instance, the UE prevents handover of a packet-switched (PS) voice call from a serving cell of a PS radio access technology (RAT) to the target cell of a circuit-switched (CS) RAT after the UE sends a measurement report for the target cell but before receiving a handover command. The UE prevents the handover if the target cell becomes undesirable for handover and/or the serving cell becomes desirable for maintaining the PS voice call.
Abstract:
A measurement report may trigger a handover based on relative signal strengths of a serving cell and an intra/inter-RAT (radio access technology) neighbor cell. This may result in a UE being handed over to a weak cell and cause a voice call to drop. A method of wireless communication includes determining whether to delay sending an inter-RAT or an intra-RAT measurement report based in part on a current status of a call setup and whether the UE and a network support an inter-RAT handover while in the current status of the call setup. The measurement report is delayed for a predetermined time period based in part on the determination. The method also includes sending the measurement report when the predetermined time period expire and/or the current status of the call setup changes to a new status when both the UE and the network support the inter-RAT handover.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may reduce potential delay when attempting to return to a first radio access technology (RAT) after a circuit-switched fall back (CSFB) call releases at a second RAT. The UE may first determine its speed when the CSFB call releases. The UE then suspends a return to the first RAT without searching non-dedicated frequencies of the first RAT. This occurs when the UE speed is above a first predefined threshold and a signal quality of a dedicated frequency of the first RAT, included in a release message from a network of the second RAT or in a record of the UE, is below a second predetermined threshold. The UE may also search non-dedicated frequencies of the first RAT when the UE speed is below the first predefined threshold and the signal quality of the dedicated frequency of the first RAT is below the second predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for wireless communication adjusts thresholds for performing IRAT neighbor measurements and inter-frequency neighbor measurements. A serving cell search threshold for determining when to perform IRAT neighbor measurements is scaled and a serving cell search threshold for determining when to perform inter-frequency neighbor cell measurements is maintained. Inter-frequency neighbor measurements are performed when a serving cell signal quality is below the maintained, non-scaled, serving cell search threshold and IRAT neighbor measurements are performed when the serving cell signal quality is below the scaled serving cell search threshold.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of wireless communication in a device supporting cellular and wireless local area network (WLAN) access technologies includes adjusting a frequency for performing WLAN search and measurements based at least in part on a received timing adjustment command.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) camped on a first RAT and in a coverage area of a second RAT searches for one or more frequencies of the second RAT and measures one or more detected cells corresponding to the one or more frequencies of the second RAT. When the measurement indicates that cell reselection/handover trigger conditions are met the UE starts a cell reselection timer or time to trigger. The UE schedules a measurement of the neighbor cell during a time instance close to when the reselection timer or time to trigger expires.
Abstract:
A method for cell reselection includes camping on a first cell in response to detecting the first cell during a first background search. The method also includes recording an IRAT cell reselection serving cell threshold and reselecting a second cell of a second RAT when the first cell of the first RAT is below the threshold and the second cell of the second RAT is above a threshold. The method further includes detecting a second cell of the first RAT in response to performing a second background search and comparing a signal quality of the second cell with a sum of the recorded threshold and a predefined threshold value. The method still further includes on the second cell when the signal quality of the second cell exceeds the threshold plus a predefined threshold.
Abstract:
In a method of wireless communication, a grant allocating a plurality of high speed subframes for high speed data channels is received before a measurement gap for tuning away from a serving radio access technology (RAT). At least one high speed subframe is allocated in the grant falling within the measurement gap. High speed data is processed only on high speed subframes of the plurality of high speed subframes before and after the measurement gap. An acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback is transmitting and only the high speed subframes of the plurality of high speed subframes before and after the measurement gap are considered.
