  • Patent number: 9185640
    Abstract: Instead of performing a complete frequency scan and a subsequent cell scan on detected candidate frequencies, according to the method for searching for a PLMN as disclosed herein, the frequency scan is interrupted for performing an immediate cell scan based on inspection results for a specific candidate frequency obtained during the frequency scan. During the cell scan, the bandwidth among other parameters of the cell may be detected. Based on the detected bandwidth, certain candidate frequencies falling into the detected bandwidth can be skipped when resuming the frequency scan.

  • Patent number: 9130588
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a time delay based on an input value. A digital delay may be generated based on a coarse delay and a fine delay. The coarse delay may be selected based on the input value. The fine delay may be selected from an overlapping set of fine delay intervals, based on the selected coarse delay. In some implementations, a control component may be used to select the fine delay when more than one fine delay interval is indicated.

  • Patent number: 9107163
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode in telecommunication user equipment (UE), with the object to improve system power consumption of a UE of a wireless communication system that is running the DRX mode in RRC_CONNECTED state. In an LTE communication system, DRX functionality is applied to the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer to discontinue monitoring the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) for certain periods in order to reduce power consumption of the UE. Typical physical UE implementations have the stack controller and the Physical Layer (PHY) running on several hardware blocks that can enter power saving modes independently. The method comprises a partitioning of the functionality between stack controller and PHY layer that allows the stack controller entity to be active at a minimum while ensuring that the UE still behaves standard compliant to the network.
