    Abstract: The present disclosure presents methods and devices configured to exploit the carrier aggregation (CA) capabilities of a radio frequency (RF) front-end (FE) of a terminal device to perform a frequency scan in cell search operations. Based on the CA options of the RF FE of the terminal device, one or more tables are stored in a memory of the terminal device, where the tables include frequency band search sets including multiple frequencies that can be scanned by the terminal device in parallel based its CA capabilities. When a frequency scan for a cell search operation is triggered, a processor of the terminal device is configured to retrieve one of the tables from the memory and perform the frequency scan of the cell search operation based on the frequency band search sets retrieved from the table in the memory.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for offloading idle mode activities from one user equipment (UE) to another. A UE includes a cellular modem, a device-to-device (D2) communication modem, and a processor. The cellular modem performs idle mode activities during an idle mode. The processor controls the cellular modem and the D2D modem. The processor is configured to send information necessary for performing the idle mode activities to the secondary UE for offloading the idle mode activities of the primary UE to the secondary UE and put the cellular modem in a low power state or turn off the cellular modem during the idle mode. The processor wakes up the cellular modem to receive a paging message if a wake-up signal is received from the secondary UE.
