Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives at least one of a unicast or a broadcast/multicast communication on a first frequency from a first cell of a serving eNB through a first receive chain. In addition, the UE receives at least one of broadcast/multicast signal, synchronization signal, or reference signal communication on a second frequency from a second cell of the serving eNB through a second receive chain without having received instruction from the serving eNB to receive the at least one of the broadcast/multicast signal, the synchronization signal, or the reference signal communication.

Abstract: Early termination of enhanced multimedia broadcast-multicast service (eMBMS) is discussed. Forward error correction (FEC) redundancy data is added to broadcast data, such that if enough of the data symbols are successfully received, the data object may be reassembled before the entire transmission has been received. The aspects involve an application processor and modem processor, which may either be integrated into the same integrated circuit or separate components. The application processor obtains a total number of source symbols and a redundancy level for a data object to be received from the eMBMS, receives the successfully received data symbols from the modem processor, and then determines whether the number of successfully received data symbols exceeds a threshold for reassembling the transmitted data object. If so, then the application processor and/or the modem processor can shut down until the next broadcast.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In a first configuration, the apparatus is an eNB. The eNB constructs an MCCH change notification, and sends the MCCH change notification with a carrier frequency index for a first frequency of a first cell on a second frequency of a second cell. In a second configuration, the apparatus is a UE. The UE receives a configuration with aggregated carriers including a primary carrier from a primary cell and one or more secondary carriers from one or more corresponding secondary cells, and receives an MCCH change notification with a carrier frequency index for a first frequency of a first cell on a second frequency of a second cell. The first cell and the second cell are each one of the primary cell and the secondary cells.

Abstract: Various embodiments include multi-subscription multi-standby (MSMS) communication devices and methods for managing a tune-away by a radio frequency (RF) resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. A device processor may monitor a data loss during a first burst of a segment of a broadcast data stream received using the first subscription by the MSMS communication device. The device processor may calculate a permitted data loss of the segment of a broadcast data stream. The device processor may reserve one or more subframes in a second burst of the segment based on the permitted data loss, and the device processor may prevent a tune-away of the RF resource from the first subscription to the second subscription during the reserved one or more subframes of the second burst.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for smooth transition between broadcast/multicast transmission and unicast transmission. A method for managing unicast and multicast services switching in a multi-band/multi-frequency wireless communications system (WCS) capable of both unicast and multicast signaling includes determining whether an aggregate demand for a content provided via dedicated unicast transmissions exceeds a threshold. The method includes switching transmission of the content from the dedicated unicast transmissions on one frequency to a multicast transmission on a second or more frequencies in response to determining that the aggregate demand exceeds the threshold.

Abstract: Resource and power savings in internal data transfer in enhanced multimedia broadcast-multicast service (eMBMS) is disclosed herein which may include receiving, by a modem processor of a mobile device, data packets of a data object from a broadcast-multicast service. The modem processor may buffer the received data packets without forwarding the buffered data packets to an application processor associated with the modem processor. The modem processor may also determine an end of a segment of the data object. The segment may indicate a period during which the data object is scheduled to be received by the modem processor. The modem processor may forward, in a single data burst, the buffered data packets to the application processor before the end of the segment.

In response to determining that the receive mode is a diversity sharing mode, the device processor may determine a first subscription schedule and a second subscription schedule. The device processor may that there is an upcoming overlap between the first subscription schedule and the second subscription schedule, and in response the device processor may prevent the second subscription from using the second receive chain.

Abstract: Dynamic forward error correction (FEC) setting is discussed in which the network determines a FEC percentage for each video segment of a video streaming service, based on consideration of the transfer length of the video segment and the allocated bandwidth. When the transfer length and allocated bandwidth reflect transmission of less than peak bandwidth, the network will determine a higher FEC percentage that uses the otherwise wasted bandwidth to transmit additional redundancy symbols. The additional redundancy symbols increase the error recovery rate when collisions occur between streaming video reception and page monitoring occasions of other networks in multi-network, multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) mobile devices. A network entity may then transmit the dynamic FEC percentage for each video segment in the file description table (FDT) associated with the video streaming service.

Abstract: Various embodiments include multi-subscription multi-standby (MSMS) communication devices and methods for managing reception of data using a first subscription following a tune-away by a radio frequency (RF) resource chain from the first subscription to a second subscription. In various embodiments the MSMS communication device may receive data over the first subscription during a warm-up period of the RF resource chain following completion of the tune-away. In some embodiments, the device processor may receive the data over the first subscription during the warm-up period using one or more channel parameters of the first subscription determined before the tune-away. In some embodiments, the device processor may receive data over the first subscription during the warm-up period using one or more channel parameters of the first subscription determined initially during the warm-up period.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a request to receive a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) service associated with a service area identity (SAI) and a second frequency. The apparatus performs inter-frequency cell reselection from a first cell transmitting at a first frequency to a second cell transmitting at the second frequency, the second cell being an inter-frequency neighbor cell to the first cell. The apparatus receives system information from the second cell. The apparatus determines that the second cell transmitting at the second frequency is unassociated with the SAI based on the received system information. The apparatus blacklists the SAI on the second frequency in a blacklist for at least a period of time upon determining that the second cell is unassociated with the SAI.
