Abstract:
Apparatus and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include operating a wireless device on a first wireless communication technology and detecting a first cell in first frequency of a second wireless communication technology. The aspects also include determining the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfies a first reselection criterion based on a first measurement and identifying a second frequency of the second wireless communication technology as an undetected frequency based on monitoring the second frequency without detecting a second cell. Aspects also include expediting a determination of whether to perform cell reselection to the second wireless communication technology based on the undetected frequency and the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfying the first reselection criterion and determining to reselect to the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology.

Abstract:
Apparatus and methods of maintaining a cell database for wireless communications include discovering a second cell to which a user equipment may reselect. In an aspect, the user equipment may be currently served by a first cell and the second cell is a closed subscriber group cell. Further, aspects include querying a fingerprinting database to determine whether the second cell was previously recorded in the fingerprinting database. Upon determining that the second cell was not previously recorded, further aspects include adding the second cell to the fingerprinting database. Adding the second cell may comprise indicating an association between the first cell and the second cell in the fingerprinting database.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus of cell detection include determining whether communication between a user equipment and a serving cell satisfies a serving cell unsuitability condition. The methods and apparatus further include performing one or more autonomous search procedures based on whether the serving cell unsuitability condition has been satisfied. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include conducting cell reselection based on one or more results from the one or more autonomous search procedures, wherein the one or more results indicate at least one suitable cell for reselection.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for determining reselection parameters for detected cells. For example, the method may include receiving system information block (SIB) data associated with one or more cells in a neighbor cell list (NCL). In such example, the SIB data may include a ranking offset parameter associated with each of the NCL cells. Furthermore, such an example method may include detecting a cell that is not in the NCL, determining a reselection ranking value associated with each of the NCL cells, the detected cell and the serving cell. In addition, in some examples, such method may include ranking the one or more NCL cells, the detected cell and the serving cell in a ranking list based on the reselection ranking values. As such, reselection parameters for detected cells may be determined.

Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for improved reselection during mode transitions at a user equipment (UE). For example, the disclosure presents a method for identifying that a user equipment (UE) has started switching from a first priority scheduling mode to a second priority scheduling mode while making measurements for reselection. In addition, such an example method, may include initiating a mode transition timer in response to the identification and triggering a search for one or more frequencies of the second priority scheduling mode upon expiration of the mode transition timer. As such, an improved reselection during mode transitions at UE may be achieved.
