Abstract: A communications system may include a user equipment (UE) device that communicates with a cellular network having base stations. A UE may enter a connected mode in which the UE and a first base station in a first cell convey wireless data. While in connected mode, the first base station may transmit measurement objects to the UE, each being associated with a different cell neighboring the first cell. The UE may store the measurement objects. When the UE enters an idle mode, the UE may perform measurements on the neighboring cells using the measurement objects. The UE may then use the measurements to determine whether to re-select to a neighbor cell when the UE is unable to acquire a measurement configuration from the base station in idle mode. This may help to mitigate the occurrence of idle mode out-of-service (OOS) conditions for the UE device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for scheduling radio resource control (RRC) processing for a dual-SIM dual-active (DSDA) user equipment (UE) connected to a plurality of networks. In one example embodiment, a UE may be configured to implement operations including: receiving a request to process a first RRC message for a first RRC task for a first SIM card from a first network; receiving a request to process a second RRC message for a second RRC task for a second SIM card from a second network; and performing an arbitration decision to decide whether to prioritize the implementation of the first RRC task for the first SIM card or the second RRC task for the second SIM card.

Abstract: An electronic device may include wireless circuitry having one or more radios and one or more antennas. For some device configurations such as during a device low-power mode, a radio (operating in a radio on-off mode) may alternate between on and off states based on a duty cycle to reduce power consumption and increase device battery life. Radio operation in the on-off mode and device operation in the low-power mode may accommodate other radio operations such as emergency broadcast message reception, radio operations under an allocated power budge, user equipment periodic registration and update operations.
