Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for transmit-power-aware rate adaptation in wireless communications. An example method of wireless communication includes determining a transmit power associated with a first signal. The method further includes determining a first information transfer rate associated with the first signal based at least in part on the determined transmit power. The method further includes transmitting the first signal at the transmit power based at least in part on the first information transfer rate.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first portable audio device may receive battery information that indicates a second battery status of a second portable audio device. The first portable audio device may scan for access points (APs) based at least in part on: a strength of an audio signal from a user equipment (UE) not satisfying a signal threshold, and one or more of a first battery status of the first portable audio device or the second battery status. The first portable audio device may select an AP based at least in part on a result of the scanning. The first portable audio device may transmit first AP information for the AP to the second portable audio device. The first portable audio device may receive the audio signal from the UE via the AP. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selection of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Access Point (AP) for Long Term Evolution (LTE)-WLAN aggregation (LWA) is provided. A Station (STA) receives information from at least one WLAN AP of a plurality of WLAN APs in the STA's vicinity, the information being indicative of a capability of the at least one WLAN AP to support LWA. The STA selects one of the plurality of WLAN APs for connection with the STA in LWA configuration, based at least on the received information.

Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for managing power resources of an Internet of Everything (IoE) device. A processor of the IoE device may monitor an uplink interference over time. The device processor may calculate wireless communication parameters based on the monitored uplink interference over time, and may store in a memory the calculated wireless communication parameters. The device processor may calculate a transmit power based on one or more stored wireless communication parameters associated with a transmit time, and may transmit to a communication network a request to establish a communication link using the calculated transmit power.

Abstract: A method for performing parallel network acquisition attempts on a mobile communication device includes: retrieving mobile communication device information from a look-up table (LUT); identifying, based on the retrieved information, components of the mobile communication device that support one or more radio access technologies (RATs); allocating the components to at least some of the one or more supported RATs; and performing parallel network acquisition attempts for the at least some of the one or more supported RATs using the allocated components.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a wireless communications device (WCD) is provisioned with a plurality of subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The WCD determines a first set of bands (BAND1) that is associated with a first SIM and a second set of bands (BAND2) associated with a second SIM. In a first embodiment, the WCD generates a combined band for the first and second SIMs and then scans the combined band to detect a set of target networks for camping in association with at least the first and second SIMs. In a second embodiment, the WCD scans BAND1 to detect a first set of target networks for camping in association with the first SIM, and then excludes, from the BAND2, bands that overlap with BAND1. The WCD then scans the reduced BAND2 to detect to detect a second set of target networks for camping in association with the second SIM.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for reducing page loss in a multiple subscription, multiple radio access wireless device, such as a dual SIM wireless device. The disclosed methodology and apparatus determine whether a conflict will arise between paging channel information received from at least two or more subscriptions from two or more radio access networks using a single receiver in the wireless device. The reception for paging channel information via the wireless receiver is switched to receive the paging channel information from a neighboring cell for one of the two subscriptions when a conflict is determined. By switching reception of paging channel information to another neighboring cell, the likelihood of page collisions between two subscriptions is reduced.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable and facilitate radio access technology based call control. For example, a method for call control is described. A call request that includes a call number is received. A call type of the call request is identified based on the call number. A radio access technology associated with the call number and the call type is determined. A call is performed using the radio access technology associated with the call number and the call type. In some instances, embodiments can be used for emergency type calls. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Mobile devices, such as a dual standby global phone, can have multiple subscriptions to access different radio access technologies, such as Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technologies. A selective scanning utility recognizes that emergency calls can be processed in any active subscription rather than being independently invoked to obtain a plurality of ways to make an emergency call. The utility limits service acquisition to just one of all active subscriptions in device, thereby achieving the objective of staying camped for limited service without needing to perform cell selection on emergency call origination on a secondary subscription at the cost of battery service. For single-radio devices, this solution also increases the availability of the first selected cell by avoiding the need to tune away for cell selection on the secondary subscription.
