Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for network cognizant uplink transmissions during inter radio access technology (IRAT) handovers. For example, the method may include skipping inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurements during one or more dedicated channel (DCH) measurement occasion (DMO) or idle interval gaps of a transmission timing interval (TTI). The method further includes transmitting data on an uplink from a user equipment (UE) to a network entity during the entire duration of the TTI and determining whether the network entity is decoding the data transmitted on the uplink based on a response received from the network entity. As such, network cognizant uplink transmissions during inter radio access technology (IRAT) handovers may be achieved.
Abstract:
Embodiments include systems and methods for managing cell selection performed in a multi-subscription multi-standby communication device. A device processor may operate the multi-subscription multi-standby communication device in a full concurrency mode in communication with a first cell and a second cell. The device processor may determine whether a detected third cell supports operation of the multi-subscription multi-standby communication device in the full concurrency mode. The device processor may perform cell reselection to the detected third cell in response to determining that the detected third cell supports operation of the multi-subscription multi-standby communication device in the full concurrency mode.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes activating a receive chain for inter-frequency or inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement during uplink communications. The method may further include measuring at least one neighbor cell with the activated receive chain during uplink communications.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) with multiple receive chains and one or more subscriber identity modules improves radio access technology (RAT) measurements when one or more of the subscriber identity modules are active and valid measurement gaps or consecutive idle time slots are unavailable for the radio access technology measurements. The UE communicates with a first receive (RX) chain for a first subscriber identity module (SIM). The UE also performs the radio access technology (RAT) measurement with a second receive (RX) chain while maintaining communications with the first receive chain.
