Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is presented. The method includes monitoring a first RAT for a first paging message with a first receive chain. The method also includes monitoring a second RAT for a second paging message with a second receive chain. The method further includes performing, for the first SIM, an inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurement for the first RAT. The method still further includes performing, for the second SIM, an inter-frequency/inter-RAT measurement for the second RAT.
Abstract:
To create additional communication gaps for a user equipment to perform inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) measurement, the user equipment may discontinue communications during time slots of specific transmission time intervals (TTIs) based on a block error rate of a previous TTI. The time of the discontinued communications may then be allocated for inter-RAT measurement.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes receiving redirection information, from a source radio access technology (RAT), to set up a connection in a target RAT. The redirection information includes a fast return indication. A UE returns to the source RAT in accordance with the fast return indication after call release in the target RAT.
Abstract:
Techniques presented herein allow a wireless device, (e.g., a mobile station, MS) to automatically enter a low power state when detecting silence based on monitored VoIP transmissions. Automatically entering the low power state may help the wireless device conserve power. In addition, for certain types of scheduling services in which bandwidth is allocated to the wireless device from within a system (e.g., Unsolicited Grant Service or extended real time polling service), automatically entering the low power state when silence is detected may also free up bandwidth (i.e., that would have otherwise been allocated to the wireless device entering the low power state) for allocation to other wireless devices in the system.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for decoding MAP information elements (MAP IEs) in an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) frame, even when the received downlink (DL) or uplink (UL) MAP message cyclic redundancy check (CRC) fails, may be provided. By continuing to parse the MAP IEs in the MAP message despite a CRC failure in the MAP message or a data burst, the packet error rate may be reduced, and the wireless system throughput may be increased.
Abstract:
A wireless device stores historical information for a prior access attempt and uses this information to lower the output transmit power for a current access attempt on an access channel. The historical information may include RF conditions for the prior access attempt, the performance for the prior access attempt, and a power value used for the prior access attempt. The power value may be a power adjustment or an initial power level. For the current access attempt, the wireless device obtains the historical information, determines the current RF conditions, and determines a power value for this access attempt based on the current RF conditions and the historical information. The wireless device determines the output power for each access probe based on the power value and other applicable parameters and sends each access probe at the determined output power. The wireless device updates the historical information upon completing the access attempt.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication increases the gap length for performing IRAT measurements. When a radio bearer transmission time interval (TTI) length is greater than an initial gap length, the gap length is increased to provide additional time for performing IRAT measurement.
Abstract:
Idle power consumption of a user equipment (UE) is affected by an adaptive cell reselection process to prevent ping-pong cell reselection. The adaptive cell reselection includes adapting triggering threshold values for reselection based on signal strengths. The triggering threshold value may be increased for cell reselection while the UE receives a good signal from a serving cell. When the serving cell signal is poor, the cell reselection triggering threshold value is decreased to allow for fast cell reselection.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) is configured to maintain an updated frequency list for pseudo-fast return handover. The UE receives a frequency list for pseudo fast return when the UE is in an idle mode in a first radio access technology (RAT). When the UE is in a connected mode in a second RAT, the list is updated based on actual UE inter- and intra-frequency measurements of the first RAT during mobility.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) considers both the signal strength in time slot zero and the signal quality of the downlink traffic time slots when determining whether to send an IRAT measurement report to trigger IRAT handover to GSM.
