    摘要: A method includes performing a timing measurement of one or more positioning signals received at a mobile device and searching for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs) by the mobile device. The method also includes controlling the performing the timing measurement and the searching for the available PLMNs based on whether the performing the timing measurement or the searching for the available PLMNs began first and further based on a number of available receive paths on the mobile device. If the number of available receive paths can support it, timing measurements of one or more received positioning signals may be performed concurrently with searching for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs). Otherwise, if the receive paths cannot support concurrent timing measurement and PLMN searching, the PLMN search is put on hold or suspended and the timing measurements are allowed. Upon completion, the PLMN search may then begin or resume.

    摘要: Disclosed are systems and methods for navigating a mobile device based on network connectivity. An aspect includes calculating one or more routes from an origin location to a destination location based on first network connectivity information for a first subscription of a plurality of subscriptions of the mobile device and second network connectivity information for a second subscription of the plurality of subscriptions, providing the one or more routes and an indication of available network connectivity along each portion of the one or more routes based on the first and second network connectivity information, receiving a selection of one of the one or more routes, and setting, based on the first network connectivity information, the first subscription as an active subscription for the mobile device for a first portion of the selected route.

    摘要: Methods and systems are disclosed for processing control messages transmitted from multiple base stations and received at a mobile device. The mobile device may have wireless access using LTE or NR carrier aggregation and may be enabled to send uplink communication to multiple base stations. In a particular implementation, transmission power control (TPC) parameters transmitted by the multiple base stations and received at the mobile device may be processed to determine one or more aspects of motion of the mobile device such as a direction of motion, distance of motion and/or a location of the mobile device.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for wireless communication, and more specifically to opportunistic wide area network (WAN) and device to device (D2D) coexistence. According to certain aspects of the present disclosure, a method of wireless communications by an apparatus is provided. The method generally includes communicating with a base station using fewer wireless chains than supported by the apparatus, determining at least a first wireless chain of the wireless chains is available for communicating, and communicating, via device-to-device communications, with another apparatus using one of the at least a first wireless chain while communicating with the base station.

    摘要: Apparatuses and methods for user equipment (UE) positioning are disclosed based on a coverage enhancement level or internal signaling delay for the UE. In one embodiment, a method at a UE may include receiving a request capabilities message from a server, determining one or more capabilities of the UE, where the one or more capabilities include at least one of information for at least one internal signaling path of the UE or information for a coverage enhancement level of the UE, sending a first response message to the server, where the first response message includes the one or more capabilities of the UE, receiving a request for location measurements from the server based at least in part on the one or more capabilities of the UE, obtaining the location measurements, and sending a second response message to the server, where the second response message comprises the location measurements.
