Abstract:
Minimizing conflicts between different radio access technologies (RATs) is disclosed herein which include monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a first use of a UE Radio Frequency (RF) resource by a first Radio Access Technology (RAT). The UE monitors a second use of the UE resource by a second RAT. The UE is served by a current serving cell in the second RAT. The UE may also determine a percentage of conflict between a first use of a UE resource by a first RAT and the second use of the UE resource by the second RAT over a predefined period of time, and initiating, by the UE, a cell reselection attempt to one or more neighboring cells of a plurality of neighboring cells serving the second RAT based on the determined percentage of conflict exceeding a predetermined threshold.
Abstract:
Various embodiments implemented on a mobile communication device provide methods for skipping power measurements of frequency bands included in a list of frequency bands received from a first subscription's network to conserve power and to increase the likelihood of avoiding a coexistence event between a first subscription and a second subscription. Specifically, a processor of the mobile communication device may order the list of frequency bands such that non-interfering frequency bands are ordered before interfering frequency bands. The processor may then take power measurements of frequency bands in the list, in order, until the processor determines that a power measurement has satisfied a minimum power threshold. In response to such a determination, the device processor may report the power measurement that satisfies the minimum power threshold to the first subscription's network and may not take any more power measurements of the remaining frequency bands in the list.

Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for managing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) mode on a multi-SIM wireless device. The wireless device may determine whether all of the SIMs are in an active state, and identify each active SIM and each RF resource that is associated with an inactive SIM if less than all of the SIMs are in the active state. The wireless device may determine whether at least one identified active SIM and at least one identified RF resource satisfy MIMO criteria. Upon determining that at least one identified active SIM and at least one identified RF resource satisfy the MIMO criteria, the wireless device may allocate, for use in MIMO operations, the at least one identified RF resource to a protocol stack associated with a selected one of the at least one identified active SIM.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One technique includes identifying, by a user equipment (UE), a periodic time window for the UE to access a network, and transmitting an indication of the periodic time window to the network in a random access channel transmission. The technique also describes receiving, from the network based at least in part on the periodic time window, an indication of uplink resources allocated to the UE during the identified periodic time window. Another technique includes receiving, from a UE in a random access channel transmission, an indication of a periodic time window for the UE to access the network. The technique also includes determining, based at least in part on the periodic time window, uplink resources for the UE to access the network during instances of the identified periodic time window and transmit an indication of the uplink resources.

Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for selecting one or more target devices for device-to-device (D2D) communication with a device. A device processor may determine whether a battery power level of the device is below a threshold battery power level. The device processor may establish a received power level threshold in response to determining that the battery power level of the device is below a threshold power battery level. The device processor may determine whether a received power level of a signal from target devices for D2D communication is above the received power level threshold. In response to determining that the received power level from a target device is above the received power level threshold, the device processor may permit D2D communication with that target device.

Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems of various embodiments are disclosed for managing a vehicle charging station having a docking terminal. In various embodiments, a priority of a first autonomous vehicle and a second autonomous vehicle may be determined for using the docking terminal when a docking request is received from the second autonomous vehicle while the first autonomous vehicle occupies the docking terminal. In some embodiments, the priorities of the first and second autonomous vehicles may be based on an available power level of each of the first and second autonomous vehicles. The first autonomous vehicle may be instructed to undock from the docking terminal in response to determining that the second autonomous vehicle has a higher priority.
