Abstract: Aspects of system information block (SIB) management during wireless communication include assigning a cell controlled by a network entity to a cell group based on at least one interference parameter of the cell, wherein the cell group is one of a plurality of cell groups into which each cell in the wireless network is assigned based on a respective interference parameter of each cell. The SIB management further includes identifying, within a subframe, one or more SIB resource blocks (RBs) in which a SIB transmission is scheduled for other cells in the cell group. In addition, the SIB management includes halting, at the network entity, one or more non-SIB RB transmissions of the cell in the identified one or more SIB RBs in the subframe in which the SIB transmission is scheduled for the other cells in the cell group.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a device may receive information identifying a plurality of measurements of a communication metric related to a network at a plurality of time intervals. The device may determine a plurality of colors corresponding to a plurality of values of the communication metric. The plurality of values may correspond to the plurality of measurements of the communication metric at the plurality of time intervals. The device may combine the plurality of colors to generate a composite color for the communication metric.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for switching networks in active mode are described herein. In one aspect a method of wireless communication is provided. The method includes communicating with a device over a first network. The method further includes monitoring for a second network during the communication with the device, the second network having a higher throughput than the first network. The method further includes determining an application usage history of the device. The method further includes selectively transitioning the communication from the first network to the second network based on a parameter of the first network, a parameter of the second network, and an application usage history of the device.

Abstract: Aspects of managing a connection in a wireless communication system are described. As an example, the aspects may include deleting, at a base station, context information associated with a radio connection of a user equipment (UE) with the base station when the base station stops serving the UE. Further, the aspects may include transmitting, by the base station, a context drop notification to one or more neighboring base stations, wherein the context drop notification indicates that the context information associated with the UE has been deleted at the base station. As such, based on associating the UE with the deleted context information, the base station or the one or more neighboring base stations may avoid attempting to fetch the context information of the UE from other neighboring base stations in response to receiving a connection re-establishment request from the UE.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for early radio link failure (RLF) declaration. A UE may identify a measurement report message (MRM) trigger and initiate an RLF procedure. In the RLF procedure the UE may determine whether a radio link condition indicative of an RLF has been satisfied before an expiration of a timer that is initiated by the MRM trigger. As an example, the UE may determine that a threshold number of uplink radio link signaling messages, such as MRMs, have been transmitted without a radio link control (RLC) acknowledgement (ACK). The UE may declare RLF based on the determination that the radio link condition has been satisfied. In some examples the UE may verify that channel conditions are better for a target cell than for the serving cell, and may declare RLF based further on the channel comparison.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a UE. A user equipment (UE) may establish a connection to a serving cell and monitor channel conditions for the serving cell and neighboring cells. Based on the channel conditions, the UE may determine to read the system information of a non-serving neighbor. The UE may then read the system information of the non-serving neighbor cell while still connected to the serving cell. In some cases, the UE may store the system information in a database. When the time comes for the UE to access the neighbor cell (e.g., if the link to the serving cell fails) the UE may proceed with access procedures without delay using the stored system information.

Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to facilitate hand down procedures between a preferred radio access network and a secondary radio access network. According to various examples, an access terminal may attempt to sequentially access one or more other carriers and/or one or more other sectors associated with the preferred radio access network before handing down to a secondary radio access network. According to additional examples, an access terminal that is instructed to hand down from a preferred radio access network to a secondary radio access network may attempt to sequentially access one or more carriers and/or one or more sectors associated with the secondary radio access network. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
