Abstract: In device-to-device (D2D) communication in a licensed spectrum, selection of a transmit pool and distribution of codes to be transmitted to the transmit pools for more efficient transmission is desired, for a given period. The apparatus may a user equipment (UE) for D2D communication in a licensed spectrum. The UE sets a discovery epoch to a shortest discovery period among discovery periods of a plurality of transmit resource pools, each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools associated with a respective frequency. The UE estimates a channel utilization of each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools based on one or more previous transmissions on each transmit resource pool of the plurality of transmit resource pools. The UE selects a transmit resource pool among the plurality of transmit resource pools for a D2D transmission within the discovery epoch based on the estimated channel utilizations.

Abstract: The present disclosure enables an eNB to identify and/or profile stationary verses mobile UEs located within its cell. In addition, the eNB may tailor a discovery filter that includes all of the PACs (e.g., advertisements) being transmitted by stationary UEs within a vicinity of the cell. The discovery filter may be shared with a network server such that a mobile UE that requests information associated with a particular PAC will receive a list of all PACs within the vicinity of the mobile UE. The apparatus monitors transmissions from a plurality of UEs over a period of time. The apparatus determines at least one stationary UE in the plurality of UEs based on one or more features associated with the transmissions.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) can include multiple power domains that are served by a common power source. In an example, a first IC power rail can be coupled to the source and a first consumer circuit. A second IC power rail can be coupled to a second consumer circuit. The second IC power rail can receive a filtered power signal from an isolation module that is coupled between the first and second power rails. In an example, an isolation module includes an integrated inductor and a capacitor (e.g., a land-side capacitor). The integrated inductor can optionally include multiple spaced apart conductive layers that are electrically coupled. The integrated inductor can optionally include a series of conductive traces and plated through holes or vias that together provide a current path with multiple turns.

Abstract: Techniques for optimized cell acquisition for long term evolution (LTE) time division duplex (TDD) systems or closed subscriber group (CSG)/evolved Multicast Broadcast Multimedia Service (eMBMS) capable user equipments (UEs) are disclosed. A UE obtains configuration information, CSG capability information, and/or eMBMS capability information for a cell. The UE also stores the obtained information for the cell in a cell information database. In some aspects, the UE may employ the CSG and/or eMBMS capability information to select a weaker cell, during initial frequency scan at power up of the UE, based on cell capability. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may employ the configuration information to determine an initial mutual information (Mi) hypothesis value for physical hybrid-automatic repeat request (HART) indicator channel (PHICH) group mapping of the cell.

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: Methods, systems, and devices are described for recovery from a connection disruption of a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-carrier mode. The UE may establish a first connection with a primary cell and a second connection with a secondary cell while operating in the multi-carrier mode. A determination may be made that a disruption in the connection with the primary cell has occurred, and the UE may perform a connection reestablishment procedure to attempt to reestablish communications. The connection reestablishment routine may prioritize the secondary cell ahead of one or more other cells for attempting to reestablish communications. The prioritization may be based at least in part on the establishment of the second connection in the multi-carrier mode.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for adapting one or more parameters for uplink transmissions based on a channel condition profile. An example method generally includes obtaining, from a base station, feedback relating to one or more uplink transmissions sent from the UE to a base station (BS); generating, based on the feedback, a channel condition profile of one or more channels associated with the one or more uplink transmissions; and taking one or more actions, based on the channel condition profile, to adjust at least one of a power, code rate, or modulation scheme for one or more subsequent uplink transmissions.

Abstract: A method for antenna switching is described. The method includes transmitting using a first antenna. The method also includes determining that a trigger occurs to switch to transmitting using a second antenna.

The method further includes switching to transmitting using the second antenna based on the determination.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving discontinuous reception (DRX) periods using enhanced physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) decoding. A user equipment (UE) may determine that an uplink (UL) retransmission (ReTx) is unnecessary based on the content of the original UL transmission. For example, the transmission may include media access control (MAC) layer padding rather than relevant application layer data. The UE may then identify a DRX sleep period that includes the subframe where the ReTx would take place. In some cases, the DRX sleep period may include a subframe where the UE would otherwise receive an acknowledgement message (AM) from a base station. The UE may then enter a DRX sleep state. In another example, the DRX sleep period is based on the content of a received AM. If the UE receives an ACK, the UL ReTx may be unnecessary.

Abstract: A mobile device determines that a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell) belong to a same multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) area or that the PCell and the SCell can broadcast the same service. The mobile device determines a communication state of the SCell. If the SCell is active, the mobile device compares signal quality on the PCell and the SCell and selects to decode broadcast content on the PCell or the SCell. If the communication state indicating the SCell is deactivated or released, the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell. If the SCell is released and if the mobile device determines that the PCell is also released, then the mobile device switches to decode the broadcast content on the PCell and initiates a neighbor cell search.
