Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which user equipment initiates a location management procedure after receiving a mobility command and regardless of whether idle mode signaling reduction (ISR) is active when the mobility command is received. The user equipment moves from a first network to a second network in response to the mobility command and sends an update request. The user equipment may autonomously deactivate ISR. The user equipment may generate data for transmitting to a packet data network through the second network if data was not available when the mobility command was received.
Abstract:
Access terminals are adapted to receive cell selection instructions directing the access terminal to connect to a target cell from a serving cell upon a channel release. The access terminal may determine whether one or more signal parameters of the target cell are above respective threshold values. If the one or more signal parameters are above the respective threshold values, the access terminal connects to the target cell. If one or more signal parameters are not above the respective threshold values, the access terminal continues with the serving cell. Wireless network devices send a channel release message at the end of an active call. The channel release message can include a cell selection instruction directing the access terminal to connect to a target cell upon channel release. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

In one aspect, the apparatus and method for receiving battery information includes selecting and configuring a reporting mode; sending configuration information comprising the reporting mode over a communications transport mechanism to a user equipment (UE); and receiving the battery information from the UE, wherein the UE uses the configuration information and the reporting mode.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating PSC split information regarding neighboring cells. The PSC split information can be transmitted in one or more overhead messages selected based on network deployment. Where macro cells and femto cells provide PSC split information, which can be a PSC range for related cells, PSC list, etc., the information can be transmitted in a low priority overhead message since it can be obtained at a source cell. Where only femto cells or closed subscriber group (CSG) cells provide PSC split information, the information can be transmitted in a higher priority more frequently transmitted message. In this regard, the information is available at target cells since not all devices can access CSG cells. Thus, by providing the PSC split information in a more frequently transmitted message, devices can retrieve the PSC split information early on in communications to lower power consumption.
Abstract:
Mobile user equipment (MUE) can be enabled to search for and camp on a preferred node, such as a home base node (HBN), in a battery-efficient manner even when currently camped on another node, such as a macro base node (MBN). When the MBN provides good channel quality, slow rate background intra- and inter-frequency searches can discover the preferred HBN that would otherwise not be discovered or would consume excessive power with continual searching. When channel quality is fair, slow rate background inter-frequency searches can result in timely switching to the preferred HBN. Location hints that indicate proximity of the preferred HBN can be used to trigger slow rate background searches. Neighboring cell searching of neighbor cell listing (NCL) when in channel quality is fair or poor are maintained to prepare for call reselections to available node.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate cell search, selection, and reselection within a wireless communication network that includes a home node base station (home nodeB). A user equipment (UE) can detect a home nodeB and communicate such identification to a macro network that includes at least one node base station (nodeB). The detected home nodeB and nodeB can be hierarchically structured in order to prioritize connectivity with the home nodeB over the nodeB. Such prioritization can be implemented by broadcasting home nodeB parameters and macro nodeB parameters having identification information therewith.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for improved traffic management in wireless communications are disclosed. Aspects of the present disclosure provide real-time assessments to a network by leveraging measurement reports from user equipment (UE). In some aspects, the network utilizes channel quality indicator (CQI) information from each of a serving cell and a neighboring cell to identify UE capabilities and expected UE performance prior to either offloading or rerouting traffic to the UE. For example, a radio network controller (RNC) may be configured to receive a first CQI associated with a first cell (e.g., serving cell) having a first high speed downlink channel and a second CQI associated with a second cell (e.g., neighboring cell) having a second high speed downlink channel. In accordance with various aspects of the present disclosure, the RNC may utilize the first CQI and the second CQI to identify load distribution, signal strength, anticipated data rate, and/or UE capabilities (e.g., whether the UE is equipped with interference cancellation capabilities) at each of the first and second cell.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for determining available uplink bandwidth as an achievable throughput for a link. An available link capacity of a link with a cell for a user equipment is estimated based on a communication quality measured in the cell. An available fraction of cell resources for the user equipment over the link is also estimated based at least in part on received assistance information. An available bandwidth of the cell is then estimated as an achievable throughput for the user equipment over the link as a function of the estimated available link capacity and the estimated available fraction of cell resources. Moreover, a network procedure can be performed based at least in part on comparing the achievable throughput to one or more thresholds.

Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise adjusting a state of the UE based at least in part on sending the state transition indication to the network entity.
