Abstract:
A method for managing diversity tune away (DTA) on a mobile communication device includes: determining a start of the DTA from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT before the start of the DTA; transmitting a first aperiodic channel quality indicator/rank indicator (CQI/RI) report to a network on the first RAT prior to the start of the DTA; determining an end of the DTA before the end of the DTA; and transmitting a second aperiodic CQI/RI report to the network on the first RAT prior to the end of the DTA.
Abstract:
Wireless communication is disclosed using a wireless communication device, such as a user equipment (UE) having a high-gain antenna. In a cell that uses at least one of reference signal received power (RSRP)-based cell selection or RSRP-based cell reselection, the wireless communication device may determine an offset RSRP by applying an offset to a measured RSRP if a signal quality of communications from a serving base station of the cell fails to satisfy a signal quality threshold. The UE may initiate at least one of a cell selection or cell reselection operation based on the offset RSRP.

Abstract:
A system and method for wireless communication reduces the number of number of preambles transmitted in a random access channel (RACH) process. The RACH preamble is transmitted at a maximum transmit power. When a RACH response has not been received, the maximum transmit power is adjusted.
