    Abstract: A mobile device can send and receive signals in a dedicated frequency band and receive signals in a separate frequency band separate from the dedicated frequency band. The mobile device can send one or more frequency band compatibility combinations each including first and second frequency bands, the first frequency band being in the separate frequency band and the second frequency band being in the dedicated frequency. The mobile device can listen, based on a received neighbor list, for a first signal that has a frequency in the first frequency band and for a second signal that has a frequency in the second frequency band. The mobile device can determine, based on the first signal, ranging information indicative of a range from the mobile device to a source of the first signal, e.g., to obtain improved accuracy ranging information.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for use by an user equipment (UE) to perform an autonomous tune-away period of operation. The techniques allow the UE to transmit an indication of reception to a first base station during the autonomous tune-away period of operation during which the UE may be configured to receive signals from a second base station. The indication of reception may correspond to a signal transmitted or to be transmitted by the first base station during the autonomous tune-away period of operation. The indication of reception transmitted during the autonomous tune-away period of time may influence signals transmitted by the first base station after an end of the autonomous tune-away period of operation.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices and processes for processing portions of a downlink signal using multiple receive chains. In one implementation, while message traffic is received at two or more receive chains of a receiver device, an inactivity timing may be initiated following a most recent activity event at the receiver device. Responsive to a request to acquire a portion of a downlink signal at the receiver device following initiation of the inactivity timer, at least one of the two or more receive chains may be scheduled to acquire the portion of the downlink signal. Other, unscheduled receive chains may be transitioned to a lower power state upon expiration of the inactivity timer.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for improving Positioning Reference Signaling (PRS) measurements. A method comprises receiving an instruction at a user equipment (UE) to perform a PRS measurement on a target band, wherein the PRS measurement is an inter-frequency PRS measurement associated with a PRS measurement occasion, estimating, for each transceiver of a plurality of transceivers associated with the UE, and based on one or more transmit frequency bands thereof, interference with the inter-frequency PRS measurement, identifying a primary aggressor transceiver from among the plurality of transceivers, wherein the primary aggressor transceiver has a highest estimated interference, identifying an uplink transmission window associated with the primary aggressor transceiver, comparing the uplink transmission window to the PRS measurement occasion, selecting the identified primary aggressor transceiver as a selected transceiver in response to a determination that there is complete overlap between the uplink transmission window and the PRS measurement occasion, tuning the selected transceiver to the target band, and performing the inter-frequency PRS measurement with the selected transceiver.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for obtaining a locus of an estimated location of a mobile device. According to an embodiment, a mobile device may obtain a plurality of timing advance parameters based, at least in part, on frames transmitted from the mobile device to a plurality of base stations on uplink channels to the plurality of base stations. A timing advance parameter may be selected from among the plurality of timing advance parameters to a particular base station of the plurality of base stations, wherein the particular base station is not a base station of a primary cell. The locus of the estimated location of the mobile device may then be determined based, at least in part, on a location of the particular base station and the selected timing advance parameter.
