Abstract: An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus including: a processor configured to: establish a direct wireless connection with a further UE, decode cellular network information received from the further UE via direct communication over the established direct wireless connection, wherein the cellular network information comprises information associated with a cell selected by the further UE for cellular communication, and configure cellular communications with a cellular network access node of the cell based on the decoded cellular network information.

Abstract: A wireless station may include one or more processors. The wireless station may receive a no wireless fidelity (WiFi) signal indicating a parameter. The wireless station may also provide a scan signal comprising a scan list indicating a WiFi frequency band that a cellular modem is to scan for a WiFi signal based on the parameter. In addition, the wireless station may provide a mode signal based on the no WiFi signal. The mode signal may indicate that a WiFi modem is to enter a low power mode. Further, the wireless station may receive a detect signal indicating that the cellular modem detected the WiFi signal within the WiFi frequency band. The wireless station may provide a wake-up signal configured to cause the WiFi modem to enter an operational mode, the wake-up signal indicating a frequency of the detected WiFi signal.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a communication device, which has a plurality of subscriptions, maintains first state parameter information for one or more subscriptions of the plurality of subscriptions to indicate whether a call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions. The communication device receives, for a further subscription of the plurality of subscriptions, a request to measure a channel condition of one or more signals. The communication device responds to the request to measure the channel condition of the one or more signals based on a determination that the first state parameter information for the one or more subscriptions indicates no call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions.

Abstract: Methods and devices for providing normal and enhanced coverage cell selection and reselection capabilities, including the acquisition and monitoring of enhanced coverage information while camped on a cell in normal coverage, implementation of a threshold for a cell selection criteria prior to transitioning between normal and enhanced coverage while camped on a cell, and introduction of priority lists for cell reselection.

Abstract: A multi-SIM wireless device checks whether each of the (e.g., two) SIMs has received sub-frames in successive intervals prior to a current interval. If such a condition is satisfied by all the SIMs, the wireless device allocates several successive (transmit) intervals to a first SIM before allocating next successive (transmit) intervals to another SIM. If such a condition is not satisfied, the sub-intervals may be allocated according to any other approach (i.e., not constrained by the requirement of successive sets of transmit intervals to the two SIMs) as suited for the specific situation. The allocated sub-frame intervals are used to send the acknowledgements of the previously received sub-frames.

Abstract: A retransmission method and a communication device configured to perform a retransmission method. The communication device can be configured to perform Dual-SIM-Dual-active operations using transmission toggling between wireless communication networks. The communication device can determine a transmission schedule of a first communication protocol. The communication device can also determine a retransmission threshold (e.g., maximum hybrid automatic repeat request retransmission threshold) of a second communication protocol. The communication device can determine a transmission count of the second communication protocol based on the transmission schedule. A scheduling request (SR)/buffer status report (BSR) can be initiated based on a comparison of the transmission count and the retransmission threshold. The SR/BSR can be initiated without a status PDU having been received.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) receives, for a second subscription, a first request to measure signal quality at a location of the UE. The UE checks whether a call is ongoing for a first subscription. The UE sends a response to the first request only if there is no call ongoing for the first subscription.
