Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to enable enhanced machine type communication (s) (eMTC) and/or narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) devices to transition to idle mode after releasing a connection, such as a radio resource control (RRC) connection, more quickly than with previously known techniques. An example method includes determining, based on an indication received in a narrowband signal on a narrowband region of a bandwidth comprising a plurality of narrowband regions, whether to wait for a delay period, determined based on a configuration received from a network entity, before releasing a radio resource control (RRC) connection and releasing the RRC connection at a time in accordance with the determination.

Abstract:
Described herein are various aspects related to utilizing a shared transmitter in a multiple subscription user equipment (UE). Usage of a transmitter for uplink communications by a first subscription of a UE can be predicted over a period of time, wherein the first subscription has higher priority for using the transmitter than a second subscription of the UE. The predicted usage of the transmitter over the period of time can be mapped to a timeline of the second subscription. Usage of the transmitter for uplink communications by the second subscription of the UE can then be scheduled over at least a portion of the period of time based at least in part on mapping the predicted usage of the transmitter by the first subscription to the timeline of the second subscription.
Abstract:
Threshold values are provided for managing High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) throughput. Threshold values are determined based on particular criteria. After a command to increase a network desired reference power level, a UE ignores the command when the command would increase the network desired reference power level above a threshold value.

After receiving a command to increase transmit power, a UE ignores the command when a network designated minimum power level is above the threshold value.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques to enable random access channel (RACH) enhancements over previously known techniques for narrowband (e.g., narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) ) communications systems. An example method includes receiving a first allocation of frequency resources for a first period for receiving a downlink (DL) transmission or transmitting an uplink (UL) transmission, and postponing transmission of a random access channel (RACH) by the UE during the period.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented for managing a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) user equipment (UE) such that data throughput may be improved in a dual-SIM, dual active (DSDA) scenario. For example, a method is presented that includes acquiring first timing information of a first subscription and second timing information of a second subscription. Additionally, the example method may include detecting a first conflict between communications of the first subscription and the second subscription in a time slot of a first time interval. Moreover, the example method may include estimating one or more additional conflicts in one or more subsequent time intervals based on timing of the time slot, the first timing information, and the second timing information. Further, the example method may include respectively adjusting one or more transmit block sizes (TBS) for each of the one or more subsequent time intervals.

Abstract:
The present methods and apparatus relate to interference mitigation at a user equipment during wireless communication, comprising determining that a portion of a first radio access technology (RAT) activity overlaps in duration with a portion of a second RAT activity; determining that a priority value associated with the first RAT activity exceeds a priority value associated with the second RAT activity; and instructing a second RAT communication module to terminate the second RAT activity based at least in part on determining that the priority value associated with the first RAT activity exceeds the priority value associated with the second RAT activity.
