Abstract:
Various aspects include methods for supporting handover of a Voice over Internet Protocol (IP) (VoIP) call, such as a Voice over Wi-Fi (VoWi-Fi) call, with a user equipment (UE). Various aspects may enable VoWi-Fi call handover from support via an evolved Packet Data Gateway (ePDG) to support via Long Term Evolution (LTE) when Voice over New Radio (NR) (VoNR) is not supported by a User Equipment (UE) computing device and/or a fifth generation (5G) standalone (SA) (5G SA) network in which the UE is located.
Abstract:
A base station (BS) may determine a first type of paging cycle configuration and a second type of paging cycle configuration that is different from the first type of paging cycle configuration, wherein the second type of paging cycle configuration enables a plurality of different paging cycles. The BS may transmit to a user equipment, a paging cycle configuration message, wherein the paging cycle configuration message allowing the terminal UE to switch among the paging cycles.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) and a second SIM to manage communication via the first SIM and the second SIM are disclosed. The method can include, but is not limited to, sending a first message including an indication of an extended signaling capability, receiving a second message including an inquiry regarding the extended signaling capability, and sending a third message including extended capability information, responsive to receiving the second message.
Abstract:
Various embodiments for performing remote authentication of a virtual subscriber identity module (SIM) on a mobile communication device include receiving, on a first subscription of the mobile communication device, an authentication request from a virtual SIM network. The mobile communication device may tune from the first subscription to a second subscription of the mobile communication device to send the authentication request to a remote server and periodically perform tune-aways between the first subscription and the second subscription while determining whether the remote server has sent an authentication response through the second subscription. The mobile communication device may send the authentication response to the virtual SIM network through the first subscription in response to determining that the remote server has sent an authentication response through the second subscription.
Abstract:
A method for improving data throughput on a subscription includes: filtering data traffic throughput on a first subscription; comparing the filtered data traffic throughput to a threshold data rate; determining if the filtered data traffic throughput is greater than a threshold data rate value; and in response to a determination that the filtered data traffic throughput is equal to or less than the threshold data rate value, determining whether a tune away (TA) mode different than a first TA mode increases data traffic throughput on the first subscription.
Abstract:
Methods and devices are disclosed for managing diversity tune-away on a wireless communication device configured with at least two radio frequency (RF) receive resources associated with a connection in a high speed data network. The wireless device may monitor data communications and downlink channel conditions in the high speed data network, and determine whether a diversity tune-away mode has been entered. Upon determining that the diversity tune-away mode has been entered, the wireless device may perform a deliberate acknowledgment procedure by ignoring normal error detection for received data and sending an acknowledgment message for the received data to the high speed data network. The wireless device may determine whether the diversity tune-away mode has ended, and in response to determining that the diversity tune-away mode has ended, and halt the deliberate acknowledgment procedure in response to determining that the diversity tune-away mode has ended.
Abstract:
Methods and devices for implementing dynamic receive mode management to improve data throughput and paging performance on a multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) wireless communication device may include detecting, on a protocol stack associated with a first SIM, an active communication in a first network, detecting, on a protocol stack associated with a second SIM, an idle mode paging cycle in a second network, prompting entry into a selected dual receive mode on the shared RF resource, and monitoring at least one performance metric for the idle mode paging cycle associated with the second SIM while in the dual receive mode. Based on the monitored performance metric while in the dual receive mode, the wireless communication device may determine whether paging performance is degraded for the second SIM, and if so, trigger entry into a fallback mode on the shared RF resource.

Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable management of service preemption of at least one of a plurality of subscriptions that utilize a plurality of radio-frequency (RF) chains on a multi-Subscriber-Identity-Module, multi-active communication device in a manner that can accommodate a variety of different RF hardware components and configurations. Various embodiments provide methods implemented by a processor to manage service preemption. In response to detecting that a service of a second subscription initiated on a first RF chain is or will preempt a service of a first subscription that is also serviced by the first RF chain, the processor may determine whether there is a similar service on a second RF chain that may be used as a substitute for the first subscription's preempted service and, when available, the processor may configure the first subscription to begin utilizing the substitute service until the first RF chain is available.
Abstract:
A base station may allocate served user equipments (UEs) into measurement gap groups, which are configured to reduce the overlap between UE measurement gaps used for inter-RAT measurement. The base station may configure the measurement gap groups based on an offset between subframes of a served and measured RAT and may distribute UEs in the measurement gap groups to avoid overlapping inter-RAT measurement times, thereby reducing idle base station resources.
