Abstract: A method includes performing a timing measurement of one or more positioning signals received at a mobile device and searching for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs) by the mobile device. The method also includes controlling the performing the timing measurement and the searching for the available PLMNs based on whether the performing the timing measurement or the searching for the available PLMNs began first and further based on a number of available receive paths on the mobile device. If the number of available receive paths can support it, timing measurements of one or more received positioning signals may be performed concurrently with searching for available public land mobile networks (PLMNs). Otherwise, if the receive paths cannot support concurrent timing measurement and PLMN searching, the PLMN search is put on hold or suspended and the timing measurements are allowed. Upon completion, the PLMN search may then begin or resume.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A mobile device may receive a measurement configuration relating to signal measurements (e.g., neighboring cells, carriers, frequencies, etc.) which are performed by the mobile device in support of mobility and other behaviors. The mobile device may prioritize the signal measurements based on historic or crowd-sourced information. When a measurement procedure is unsuccessful, the mobile device may exclude a corresponding object from its measurement configuration in order to increase the likelihood of performing successful measurements involving other such objects. Objects from the measurement configuration may be excluded temporarily or permanently. Measurement objects may be prioritized based on past successful measurements, a location of the wireless device, and/or depending on whether they were previously excluded. The mobile device may report successful measurements to the base station.

Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to preemptively searching and selecting LTE-Direct Expressions to maintain continuity in availing services via LTE-Direct and thereby support uninterrupted device-to-device (D2D) communication when a current LTE-Direct session experiences loss or degradation. For example, in various embodiments, a wireless device may establish a first D2D connection with a peer device to access a service shared at the peer device. The wireless device may further discover at least one alternate peer device sharing the service while the first D2D connection is active such that a second D2D connection with the at least one alternate peer device can be established in response to loss and/or degradation associated with the first D2D connection.

Abstract: Interfacing of multimedia public warning system alerts is discussed in which a user equipment (UE) receives a system information broadcast message with a multimedia alert contained therein. The multimedia alert triggers the UE to automatically initiate a multimedia broadcast application to process the alert. The multimedia alert includes broadcast system information that enables the multimedia broadcast application to automatically tune the UE to the streaming multimedia content associated with the alert. The UE may then process the streaming multimedia content on the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods for booting up a mobile device involve segmenting a boot sequence of the mobile device into a plurality of boot sequence segments and determining a first boot sequence segment from the plurality of boot sequence segments, battery power consumed by the first boot sequence segment exceeds a predetermined battery power threshold. In addition, systems and methods further include selecting a target boot mode from a plurality of boot modes. The target boot mode is configured to be executed when the first boot sequence segment of the boot sequence is to be executed, and each of the plurality of boot modes corresponds to at least some but not all resources of the mobile device. Furthermore, systems and methods involve executing the first boot sequence segment based on the target boot mode and executing at least one of the plurality of boot sequence segments other than the first boot sequence segment based on a normal mode. The normal mode corresponds to all resources of the mobile device.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for improving band scanning procedures by a UE, for example, to speed re-acquiring service after a loss of service event.
