Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving a set of frequency layers for intra radio access technology (RAT) inter-frequency cell reselection and/or a set of frequency layers for inter RAT frequency cell reselection. The method also includes storing two or more of the frequency layers in an active search list and storing one or more remaining frequency layers in a dormant search list. The method further includes searching for each frequency layer in the active search list. The method still further includes dynamically updating a measurement list, the active search list, and the dormant search list.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improving inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. A user equipment (UE) determines, while in a connected state Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) mode in a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology Network (RAT), that a second cell of a second RAT is to be measured. The UE schedules at least two operational periods related to transitioning between ON and OFF states of the CDRX mode to overlap, to increase a period available for measuring signals in the second cell.
Abstract:
A method for determining candidate radio access technology (RAT) layers includes selecting one or more initial candidate RAT layer, for each configured RAT type of a UE, for a target RAT candidate list. The target can be for redirection or handover, for example. Each initial candidate RAT layer is selected regardless of network indicated RAT priorities and measurement object IDs. The method also includes selecting additional candidate RAT layers, for the list, based on the network indicated RAT priorities or the measurement object IDs. The method may be specified for when a UE is in a connected mode or an idle mode.
Abstract:
Cell reselection for transitioning a user device from a macro cell to a small cell may be performed by comparing a first reselection candidate small cell and a second reselection candidate small cell based on reselection criteria, and selecting a final reselection candidate based on the comparison.
