    摘要: A wireless device is configured to select a beam and/or an antenna based on detection a detected position and/or orientation of the device relative to a remote device. The device obtains motion data indicating a change in position or orientation of the wireless device. The device determines its pose relative to the remote device. The device accesses a coverage map that associates, for each potential pose for the device with respect to the remote device: an antenna for communicating with the remote device and/or a beam for communicating with the remote device. The device selects a particular antenna and/or a particular beam for communicating with the remote device; and causes transmission or reception of data to or from the remote device by the particular antenna and/or the particular beam.

    摘要: Techniques for a link budget limited UE to improve communications performance with cellular networks are disclosed. The UE may be associated with subscriptions to multiple carriers and may connect to a cell of a first carrier. The UE may detect that received signal strength from the cell is below a threshold and search for a new cell that may be of a different carrier. The UE may store a PLMN eSIM priority look up table and the search may be based on the look up table. Additionally, the UE may track received signal strength and geographic location in a first data structure that the UE may send to a server. The UE may receive a second data structure from the server that includes received signal strength at geographic locations compiled from a plurality of UEs, including the UE. The UE may also use the second data structure in searches for a new cell.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to perform a postponement of a data service request are described. A UE may detect a data service request failure during cell reselection and postpone a resend of the data service request based on a status of the cell reselection. The status may be an indication that the UE is attempting to camp on a cell or that the UE is monitoring one or more metrics associated with cell reselection. To postpone the data service request, the UE may postpone the data service request for a specified period of time or until the cell reselection is complete. The status may be monitored on a first layer of a protocol stack and the data service request may generated by a second layer of the protocol stack. The postponement may be for a fixed or variable time period.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for multi-SIM user equipment (UE) devices to perform emergency calling. A UE may receive an indication to initiate an emergency call. The UE may select a cell on which to initiate the emergency call. If a serving cell of a first SIM of the UE is not available for the emergency call, the UE may utilize information from a second SIM of the UE as part of selecting the cell on which to initiate the emergency call. The information from the second SIM may include an indication of a serving cell of the second SIM. Alternatively or in addition, the information from the second SIM may include an indication of one or more neighboring cells of the second SIM. The emergency call may be initiated via the selected cell using the first SIM.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to perform a radio access technology (RAT) upgrade. A UE may initiate a background scan to upgrade RAT while camped on a first system in response to an occurrence of a first condition. The first system may include a first PLMN that operates according a first RAT. The UE may determine a second system operates according to a second RAT that provides upgraded service as compared to the first RAT. The second system may be included in one or more systems found during the background scan. The UE may attempt to register on the second system based on the second PLMN operating according to the second RAT. The first and second PLMNs may each have an associated operator preference and the first PLMN may be preferred over the second PLMN.
