Abstract:
Methods and devices may select a particular radio access technology (RATs) available on a multi-technology wireless communication device to support a user activity based on monitored device usage patterns and power consumption profiles of the various RATs. Various embodiments may enable multi-RAT wireless communication devices to monitor the usage patterns of each service (i.e., wireless communication link) provided by the device, and estimate the power consumption during the user activity based on the power needs of services and the user activity. A multi-RAT wireless communication device may determine whether switching, enabling, or disabling services and/or RATs would reduce power consumption. Thus, the wireless communication device may extend the time that a user can perform a user activity when battery reserves are low by switching to a lower-power RAT and/or disabling power-hungry services.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling efficient network registration using a shared radio resource for at least a first and second SIM of a multi-SIM wireless communication device. An overall priority-based ranking may be calculated for each SIM of the multi-SIM device, which may be used to determine an preferred order for the SIMs to register for services in their respective networks. Calculating the overall priority-based ranking for each SIM may include determining values for a service capability priority factor, an attachment time factor, and a sleep cycle duration factor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are described herein for performing thermal mitigation in a mobile communication device having a first subscription and a second subscription. The method includes, but not limited to, determining whether the mobile communication device has reached a first thermal level in which only circuit switching services are available, detecting that the second subscription is out of service in response to determining that the mobile communication device has reached the first thermal level, determining whether a current temperature exceeds, beyond a threshold, a temperature at a time of a previous scan for an available network for the second subscription, and waiting a first period of time before scanning for the available network for the second subscription, in response to determining that the current temperature exceeds, beyond the threshold, the temperature at the time of the previous scan.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling efficient network registration using a shared radio resource for at least a first and second SIM of a multi-SIM wireless communication device. After the end of a radio-off condition of the radio resource, the wireless device may identify services supported by each of the first and second SIMs, evaluate criticality of the supported services, determine which of the first and second SIM supports the service having the highest criticality, and prevent the other SIM from registering with its network before the SIM with the service of the highest criticality has successfully registered for service in its selected network.
