  • Patent number: 11425780
    Abstract: A radio terminal (2) controls state transitions of the radio terminal (2) among first to third RRC states. In addition, if the radio terminal (2) is in the second RRC state, if a current cell that the radio terminal (2) has camped on is different from a first cell in which a state transition from the first RRC state to the second RRC state was performed, and if the current cell satisfies a predetermined condition, the radio terminal (2) allows the radio terminal (2) to transmit data to be transmitted in the current cell by a first transmission procedure in which the radio terminal (2) transmits uplink data before entering the first RRC state.

  • Patent number: 11419117
    Abstract: An electronic device configured to operate in two frequency bands having significantly different coverage areas receives coordinates associated with a smaller coverage area over a frequency band having a larger coverage area. The coordinates allow the electronic device to only power up the associated radio and search for a base station of the smaller coverage area when the electronic device is in the area described by the coordinates. This allows the electronic device to achieve significant power savings compared to even infrequent random polling to determine when a base station of the smaller coverage area radio system is available.
