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:
A user equipment (UE) may perform an inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement in time slots not deemed to be carrying critical data. In such instances, the UE only transmits and decodes critical data in the critical time slots when a serving cell signal is low for a determined period of time. Otherwise, when the time slots do not carry critical data, i.e., non-critical time slots, the UE stops transmitting and decoding and uses the non-critical time slots for IRAT measurement.
Abstract:
A user equipment capable of communicating on multiple radio access technologies (RATs) may receive conflicting paging occasions for each RAT. That is, the paging occasions may occur at sufficiently overlapping times such that a user equipment may not dedicate all its receive resources to each paging occasion. In such instances, a user equipment may divide receive resources among the RATs to receive pages even in the face of paging occasion conflicts.
Abstract:
Wireless communication in a multicarrier radio access network, such as a (TD-SCDMA) network, may be implemented where a user equipment (UE) maintains communication over various carrier frequencies in the multicarrier network. The UE will receive a downlink pilot channel transmitted on every subframe on a primary carrier frequency. The UE will also receive a downlink pilot channel transmitted on less than every subframe on a secondary carrier frequency The downlink pilot channel is sent in subframes on the secondary carrier frequencies using a particular period and offset to reduce or minimize interference.
Abstract:
A system and method store provisioning data supporting a plurality of service providers in a VSIM internal memory unit of a mobile device. A user may selectively enable provisioning data supporting one of the plurality of service providers stored in the VSIM internal memory unit to conduct a wireless communication. An embodiment permits backing up, retrieving and restoring personal data in the VSIM internal memory unit using a remote database. Another embodiment allows a mobile device to select an optimal service provider to conduct a wireless communication. The optimal service provider may be determined based upon mobile device location, communication usage request and/or time and date.
Abstract:
To provide "transparent" broadcast services for a multi-mode wireless device capable of communicating with multiple wireless communication networks, a composite set of pertinent parameters for broadcast messages used by the multiple networks is defined. The parameters of the broadcast message for each network are mapped to corresponding parameters in the composite set. The composite set of parameters is used for processing and displaying broadcast messages received from the multiple networks. A broadcast message for each network (e.g., a CBS message in GSM or a broadcast SMS message in CDMA) is received and processed in accordance with the parameters of the message and filtering configurations applicable for the network. The parameters of the broadcast message are mapped to corresponding parameters in the composite set. The broadcast message is further processed and displayed based on the parameters in the composite set.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication manages the positioning of uplink pilot channel transmissions. A random access request is transmitted at a first location indicated in a circuit switched fall back (CSFB) redirection message. The random access request is then retransmitted at a second location when a response is not received for the random access request transmitted at the first location.
Abstract:
A method of buffer status reporting for multiple preserved data protocol (PDP) contexts includes communicating with a base station. A service request is sent to the base station, the service request requesting a set of radio access bearers (RABs) for a set of PDP contexts. The set of preserved PDP contexts includes one or more PDP contexts that have no uplink data ready to transmit on a high speed shared data channel. The set of preserved PDP contexts also includes one or more PDP contexts that have uplink data ready to transmit on the high speed shared data channel.
Abstract:
Wireless communication in a radio access network may be implemented in a manner where a user equipment (UE) with multiple Universal Subscriber Identity Modules (USIMs) selects a system based on the system's preference status among the USIMs of the UE. A system that is home to all the UE's USIMs is selected over one that is home to some USIMs but roaming for others. A system that is home to some USIMs but not provisioned for other USIMs is selected over one that is roaming to all USIMs. A system that is roaming to all USIMs is selected over one that is roaming to some USIMs but not provisioned for other USIMs. Ranking of systems may be done independently by USIM or may be done using a combined ranking method that considers other USIMs prior to an individual USIM indicating a system priority. Manual system selection may also be used.
