Abstract:
A terminal communicates with a first wireless network and obtains a list of cells in a second wireless network to measure. The terminal operates in a compressed mode and receives multiple transmission gap pattern sequences for different measurement purposes, e.g., RSSI measurements, BSIC identification, and BSIC re-confirmation. The terminal utilizes each transmission gap for its designated purpose or an alternate purpose. For each transmission gap, the designated purpose for the transmission gap is ascertained, and whether the transmission gap is usable for an alternate purpose is also determined based on at least one criterion. The transmission gap is used for the alternate purpose if the at least one criterion is satisfied and is used for the designated purpose otherwise. For example, a transmission gap designated for RSSI measurement may be used for BSIC identification, a transmission gap designed for BSIC identification or BSIC re-confirmation may be used for RSSI measurement, and so on.

Abstract:
A method an apparatus and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines whether a channel quality indicator (CQI) is to be reported during any one of x subframes immediately after a start of a next on duration an on duration being a duration over which a downlink control channel is monitored every discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and x being a number of subframes used to generate a CQI report schedules a wake up time for reporting the CQI when the CQI is to be reported during any one of the x subframes immediately after the start of the next on duration and reports the CQI based on a reference subframe. The CQI may be based on a last subframe of a previous DRX cycle active time and reported at a first subframe of the next on duration.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) reporting after resumption of Long Term Evolution (LTE) after a temporary suspension. In certain aspects, in order to minimize performance penalty to LTE on resumption after an LTE tune away for example to service a different Radio Access Technology, information available from before the LTE tune away may be used in addition to one or more additional parameters for determining how to perform LTE CQI calculation/update after tuning back to LTE. In certain aspects, a decision regarding whether a User Equipment (UE) reports a CQI based on channel conditions before the LTE tune away or reports a CQI based on channel conditions after tuning back to LTE may be based on a value of the Doppler estimate, a time duration of the LTE tune away, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
A method includes receiving a service in a first network coverage area, detecting entry into a second coverage area, acquiring control signaling information of the second coverage area in response to entering into the second coverage area, establishing traffic channels in the second coverage area while the service is received from the first coverage area, and switching to receive the service on the traffic channels in the second coverage area so that service disruption is minimized. Another method includes receiving a service in a first network coverage area, acquiring control signaling information associated with other coverage areas while in the first coverage area, detecting entry into a second coverage area, establishing traffic channels in the second coverage area, and switching to receive the service on the traffic channels in the second coverage area so that service disruption is minimized.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for modifying wireless devices represented or available capabilities and for allocating a portion of the UE's actual capabilities for simultaneously supporting a second service is disclosed. A modified capability is determined and offered to maintain the dedicated service while supporting a second service. The modified capability is disclosed to a system in anticipation of a reconfiguration of the dedicated service according to the modified capability. A device is configured to determine a modified capability to maintain a dedicated service while supporting a second service; and to disclose to a system the modified capability as the available capability for reconfiguring the dedicated service.
Abstract:
Various aspects related to techniques for harmonization between common reference signal (CRS) and demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) based transmission modes (TMs) in unlicensed spectrum are described. In one aspect, a downlink/uplink (DL/UL) subframe configuration may be signaled for each subframe. Information provided by the DL/UL subframe configuration may indicate whether the respective downlink subframe is a single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe (associated with DM-RS-based TM) or a non-MBSFN subframe (associated with CRS-based TM). In another aspect, periodic as well as aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting requests may be supported. In yet another aspect, discontinued reception (DRX) wake ups for unlicensed carriers may be explicitly or implicitly indicated to a user equipment (UE) via a carrier in a licensed spectrum.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for maintaining information during neighbor list updates comprising acquiring information of a first plurality of GSM neighbor cells; recording and keeping the information for a time period T; receiving a second plurality of GSM neighbor cells; comparing the second plurality of GSM neighbor cells with the first plurality of GSM cells in the record; if a GSM neighbor cell from the second plurality of GSM neighbor cells is not in the record, gathering information pertaining to the GSM neighbor cell; and if at least one GSM neighbor cell from the second plurality of GSM neighbor cells is in the record, determining if the age of the information pertaining to the at least one GSM neighbor cell is less than the time period T and if less than T, locating the at least one GSM neighbor cell.
Abstract:
A method for handling out-of-synchronization (SYNC) includes generating a plurality of combination sets of transport channels utilized by a communication device (710). The method also includes selecting, based on a window-based parameter, a highest-ranking combination set of transport channels out of the plurality of combination sets of transport channels (720). The highest-ranking combination set of transport channels excludes one or more out-of-SYNC transport channels (732). The method further comprises providing, to a window-based data processing unit, data packets from transport channels in the highest-ranking combination set of transport channels, without providing data packets from the one or more out-of-SYNC transport channels to the window-based data processing unit (740). Apparatus and machine-readable media for out-of-SYNC avoidance and/or detection are also provided.
