Abstract:
A UE is configured to collect multiple absolute radio frequency channel numbers (ARFCNs) in parallel via a wideband receiver during a transmission gap. Inter-radio access technology (IRAT) measurements are performed based on the collected AFRCN samples.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method of wireless communication is provided. The method may include starting a first timer for changing to a first network cell with a first radio access technology (RAT) and starting a second timer for changing to a second network cell with a second RAT. Further, the method may include changing to the first network cell when the first timer expires. The method may also include determining that the second network cell satisfies a cell change condition and continuing to run the second timer after the change to the first network cell in response to the second network cell satisfying the cell change condition. The method may further include changing to the second network cell after starting a third timer for a third network cell with the first RAT, a duration of the second timer being longer than a duration of the third timer.
Abstract:
In an aspect, methods and apparatus for handover in a communication network includes detecting a network entity handover condition to trigger handover from a source network entity of a first RAT. The methods and apparatus further include receiving a handover message from the source network entity of the first RAT including a list of target network entities. Additionally, the methods and apparatus include conducting handover to a target network entity selected from the list of target network entities. In another aspect, methods and apparatus for handover include receiving a handover request message from a UE at a source network entity of a first RAT. The methods and apparatus further include determining a list of target network entities in response to receiving the handover request message. Additionally, the methods and apparatus include transmitting a handover message including the list of target network entities from the source network entity to the UE.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for inter radio access technology (IRAT) cell reselection. For example, the method may include identifying that a user equipment (UE) in an idle or a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode is camped on a cell of a first RAT, determining that the cell the UE is camped on is not broadcasting any neighbor cell of a second RAT, scanning for one or more frequencies of the second RAT based on the determination, and triggering a cell reselection to a cell of the second RAT, wherein the cell of the second RAT is associated with a frequency identified during the scanning. As such, an autonomous IRAT cell reselection may be achieved.
Abstract:
A measurement reporting method to avoid strong interference includes measuring all cells on a neighbor frequency indicated by a network on a neighbor list. A first and second set of cells are identified. The identified first set of cells are from the neighbor list and have a first signal strength a first predefined amount above a serving cell signal strength. The second set of cells are not on the neighbor list and have a second signal strength above a first threshold signal value. The first signal strength of the first set of cells and the second signal strength of the second set of cells are compared to determine whether to send a measurement report for the first set of cells.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may perform an advanced inter radio access technology (IRAT) measurement of a target cell when the UE transitions from an idle state to a connected state of a serving cell to reduce delay. In such instances, the UE compares the serving cell signal metric to a threshold. The advanced measurement may be performed when the serving cell signal metric, e.g., serving cell received signal code power (RSCP), is below the threshold.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to extended signaling protocols for multi-subscriber identity module (MSIM) user-equipment (UE) for new radio (NR). For example, certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication by a UE. The method generally includes receiving a first message from a network entity enquiring regarding information associated with a multi-subscriber identify module (SIM) capability of the UE, determining the information associated with the multi-SIM capability of the UE in response to the inquiry from the network entity, and communicating one or more messages to indicate the information regarding the multi-SIM capability to the network entity.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, via a subscription of the UE to a network node, a UE assistance information (UAI) that indicates a reduction to one uplink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layer for the subscription. The UE may transmit, via the subscription to the network node, an uplink transmission using one uplink MIMO layer on one transmit (Tx) chain of the UE based at least in part on the UAI and a timer associated with the UAI. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
An apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus is configured to obtain, based on a first mobile alert associated with a first subscriber identity module (SIM) being scheduled for broadcast from a first network, an indication of receiver resources assigned for receiving the first mobile alert associated with the first SIM. The apparatus is further configured to refrain, based at least in part on the indication, from receiving a second mobile alert associated with a second SIM scheduled for broadcast from a second network. The first mobile alert and the second mobile alert may be associated with messages from at least one of a CMAS or an ETWS.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, while the UE is in an active session using a first radio access technology (RAT) associated with a first subscription of the UE, a call request via the first RAT, wherein the call request is associated with a second subscription of the UE. The UE may determine that the call request is received from a serving cell that is associated with fallback from the first RAT to a second RAT for calls. The UE may reject the call request or transition the second subscription to a third RAT based at least in part on the determination that the call request is received via the serving cell that is associated with fallback from the first RAT to the second RAT for calls. Numerous other aspects are described.
