Abstract:
A multi-SIM UE may perform network SIB acquisition for each network subscription. However, if the multi-SIM UE employs subscriptions for the same network these operations may be performed redundantly. By identifying that the UE is employing multiple subscriptions, the UE and network can perform a single SIB acquisition for multiple subscriptions, which reduces power consumption and optimize network signaling overhead. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to determine that the UE is associated with a plurality of network subscriptions, the plurality of network subscriptions being associated with a network, select a network subscription from the plurality of network subscriptions, perform a random-access procedure using the network subscription, receive system information broadcast in response to the random-access procedure, and configure the plurality of network subscriptions at the UE based on the system information.
Abstract:
Various features related to reducing power consumption by devices during discovery periods D2D communication system, are described. In an aspect, a transmission pattern learning based intelligent monitoring approach is used. In certain configurations, an apparatus, e.g., a UE, may be configured to monitor, during a first set of discovery periods, transmissions of a plurality of different PACs associated with different applications, and identify PACs of interest from the plurality of different PACs. In some configurations, the apparatus maybe further configured to identify, based on the monitoring, transmission patterns of the PACs of interest, and monitor, during a second set of discovery periods, transmissions corresponding to the PACs of interest based on the identified transmission patterns. In some configurations, the PACs of interest monitored during the second set of discovery periods may be a subset of the plurality of different PACs monitored during the first set of discovery periods.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. A method and apparatus described include detecting a connection event after completing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration procedure with a base station. The method and apparatus include transmitting a connection release request message on a signaling radio bearer (SRB) to the base station in response to detecting the connection event. The method and apparatus include initiating a connection release timer in response to detecting the connection event. The method and apparatus include monitoring for a synchronization message from the base station. The method and apparatus include performing a first connection procedure to synchronize with the base station based on receiving the synchronization message from the base station prior to an expiration of the connection release timer.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to dynamic cell reselection to improve device-to-device (D2D) communications where two or more D2D peers are camped onto different cells and one or more D2D peers are located in an overlap region between the cells. For example, in various embodiments, the D2D peers may exchange one or more communication parameters over the (inter-cell) D2D connection and detect that the D2D peers are camped on different base stations (i.e., attached to different cells) based on the exchanged communication parameters. The D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region may then obtain measurements on the neighbor cell and a forced cell reselection may be triggered at the appropriate D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region such that the D2D peers are camped on the same base station, thereby converting the inter-cell D2D connection into an intra-cell D2D connection that can be more easily maintained.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for efficiently performing measurements during a connected mode in a wireless communication system is disclosed. For example, the method and apparatus may include receiving, at a user equipment (UE), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Reconfiguration message including a plurality of measurement objects from a network entity to identify frequencies during a measurement procedure; receiving, at the UE, one or more neighbor discovery expression messages, each neighbor discovery expression message including a neighbor measurement object and being received from a respective neighbor UE; determining, by the UE, whether the plurality of measurement objects of the RRC Reconfiguration message satisfy a measurement capability threshold; selecting, by the UE, a portion of the plurality of measurement objects of the RRC Reconfiguration message; and performing, by the UE, the measurement procedure for each measurement object of the portion of the plurality of measurement objects.
Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for detecting a mismatch between a type of an audio socket of an electronic device and a type of an audio jack. In an aspect, an electronic device detects that the audio jack is plugged into the audio socket, accesses application layer log data related to the audio socket, determines that the type of the audio socket does not match the type of the audio jack based on the application layer log data, and in response to determining that the type of the audio socket does not match the type of the audio jack, displays a notification of the mismatch on a user interface of the electronic device.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive sensor information from a sensor associated with the user equipment, wherein the user equipment is in a deep sleep mode when the sensor information is received. The user equipment may deactivate the deep sleep mode, based at least in part on receiving the sensor information, to permit the user equipment to transmit or decode a network communication.
Abstract:
A UE registers with a paging hub to a message forwarding service that is configured to forward information from messages wirelessly transmitted by two or more RANs associated with different RAT-types to the UE over a local wireless network that is separate from the two or more RANs. The UE refrains from monitoring a set of downlink wireless channels used by the two or more RANs while the paging hub monitors the set of downlink wireless channels on behalf of the UE. The paging hub detects a signaling message that is targeted to the UE by a given RAN, and forwards a message including information derived from the signaling message to the local wireless network for transmission to the UE. The UE receives the forwarded message and selectively communicates with the given RAN in response to the received message.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to synchronizing application account data using out-of-band device-to-device (D2D) communication between peer wireless devices. More particularly, a first device may generate a local unique expression that includes a name, one or more user credentials, and a last update time associated with an application registered for a D2D-based application synchronization service. In response to detecting one or more external unique expressions from one or more peer devices in proximity that match the name and the user credentials associated with the registered application, the first device may then identify, among the one or more peer devices, an update device associated with an external unique expression having a last update time more recent than the last update time associated with the local unique expression and request an update to synchronize the application account data associated with the registered application from the update device over an out-of-band D2D connection.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhancing a UE power savings mode. Certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) generally including receiving, from a network entity, signaling configuring the UE with discontinuous reception (DRX) parameters for a DRX mode, the DRX parameters including a DRX periodicity and DRX slot offset that define DRX off durations and transmitting, to the network entity, a request to modify the DRX slot offset after detecting at least one condition based on the DRX parameters.
