Abstract:
Methods and apparatus of cell detection include determining whether communication between a user equipment and a serving cell satisfies a serving cell unsuitability condition (which may comprise a serving cell disconnection threshold value, i.e. a value indicative of potential or actual unsuitable wireless communication based on received signal code power (RSCP), reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), receive signal strength indicator (RSSI), or received energy-to-interference ratio). The methods and apparatus further include performing one or more autonomous search procedures (e.g. comprising searching for previously camped frequencies, searching a fingerprint database for fingerprinted cells or searching for available cells in all detected frequencies) based on whether the serving cell unsuitability condition has been satisfied. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include conducting cell reselection based on one or more results from the one or more autonomous search procedures, wherein the one or more results indicate at least one suitable cell for reselection.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for wireless communication for improving back to back cell reselection that includes establishing that cell reselection to a primary candidate cell has failed. Afterwards, a UE determines if a set of predetermined conditions have been triggered and schedules cell reselection to a secondary candidate based on whether the set of predetermined conditions have been triggered.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for releasing an RRC connection by a user equipment (UE). A method that may be performed by the UE includes establishing an RRC connection, determining a time duration for a release timer, resetting the release timer, monitoring the RRC connection, and releasing the RRC connection.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for regaining service at a user equipment. For example, the disclosure presents a method for receiving a neighbor cell list from a serving cell, and scanning to identify target cells by the user equipment, wherein the target cells include neighbor cells included in the neighbor cell list and detected cells not included in the neighbor cell list. In addition, such an example method may include determining that the user equipment cannot successfully camp on any one of the neighbor cells, and attempting to camp on one of the detected cells. As such, an improved method and apparatus for regaining service at a user equipment may be achieved.
Abstract:
Apparatuses and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network includes operating a wireless device on a first wireless communication technology. Aspects also include detecting a cell of a second wireless communication technology and determining the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfies a first reselection criterion based on a first measurement. Still further the aspects include expediting a determination of whether to perform cell reselection to the second wireless communication technology based on the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfying the first reselection criterion. Additionally, aspects include determining to reselect to the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology when the at least one new measurement satisfies a second reselection criterion for the reselection time period.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for an adaptive strategy for enhanced thermal mitigation and overheating signaling. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes determining whether one or more trigger conditions are met and following an overheating assistance (OA) configuration received from a network or switching to an internal thermal mitigation configuration based at least in part on the determining.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for improved reselection during mode transitions at a user equipment, UE. For example, the disclosure presents a method for identifying (502) that a user equipment UE has started switching from a first priority scheduling mode to a second priority scheduling mode while making measurements for reselection. In addition, such an example method, may include initiating (504) a mode transition timer in response to the identification and triggering (506) a search for one or more frequencies of the second priority scheduling mode upon expiration of the mode transition timer.

Apparatus and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include operating a wireless device on a first wireless communication technology and detecting a first cell in first frequency of a second wireless communication technology. The aspects also include determining the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfies a first reselection criterion based on a first measurement and identifying a second frequency of the second wireless communication technology as an undetected frequency based on monitoring the second frequency without detecting a second cell. Aspects also include expediting a determination of whether to perform cell reselection to the second wireless communication technology based on the undetected frequency and the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfying the first reselection criterion and determining to reselect to the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology.
