  • Patent number: 9549354
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods, systems, and devices for communicating with a first network and a second network using a mobile device having a single radio comprising a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and the receiver may be tuned to the first network. The transmitter may also transmit to the first network. The receiver may tune away to the second network for a tune-away period. The transmitter may transmit to the first network during the tune-away period. A determination may be made whether the transmitter and the receiver will cause interference during the tune-away period. Transmissions may be paused from the transmitter in response to determining that the transmitter and the receiver will cause interference during the tune-away period.

  • Publication number: 20160353516
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods implemented on a mobile communication device for sharing network information among subscriptions when both a first subscription and a second subscription are in an idle mode. The methods may include determining whether the first subscription and the second subscription share a network operator and are camped on a same base station. If so, the first subscription may receive network information from the base station and store the network information in a shared memory of the mobile communication device that can be accessed by the second subscription. The second subscription may then perform some idle mode operations using the network information stored in the shared memory.

  • Patent number: 9485718
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovering from an out-of-service state in a wireless device. A processor may perform scans of a first acquisition database to acquire a first renewed service connection for a first subscriber identification module (SIM). The scans include first and second searches for first and second channels identified in first and second technology lists, respectively, from the first acquisition database, respectively, until either a renewed service connection is acquired or each of the first and second technology lists are exhausted. The first and second technology lists identify channels from first and second radio access technologies. A currently used channel of a second SIM acquired service is first on the first technology list. The processor may perform a full frequency scan to acquire a first renewed service connection for the first SIM in response to determining that each of the first and second technology lists were exhausted.

  • Patent number: 9462489
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods implemented in a mobile communication device (e.g., a multi-RAT communication device) for maintaining at least one separate RGS value for each of a plurality of RATs operating on the mobile communication device. Specifically, a device processor on the mobile communication device (e.g., a crystal oscillator manager) may maintain a separate, up-to-date RGS value for each of the plurality of RATs and may associate each of the plurality of RATs with their respective RGS values. By keeping track of the plurality of RATs' respective RGS values, the device processor may ensure that an appropriate RGS value is used to facilitate each RAT's individual operations, such as acquisition/re-acquisition operations, sleep scheduling calculations, and handover/inter-RAT measurement operations. As a result, various embodiments may improve the performance of each RAT and the overall performance of the mobile communication device.

  • Publication number: 20160128071
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media for avoiding coexistence interference between radio access technologies (RATs) operating on a multi-active communication device. Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media to leverage an ability of a multi-active communication device to manage two RATs and/or subscriptions to protect on-demand traffic service performance, such as Multimedia Messaging Service (“MMS”) service performance, when inter-RAT coexistence interference is occurring, or is likely to occur, between an on-demand traffic service, such as a MMS service, and a data service. In some embodiments, an on-demand traffic service may be a bursty on-demand traffic service.

  • Patent number: 9204353
    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods, systems, and devices for tuning away a mobile device's receiver without retuning the mobile device's transmitter, thereby allowing the mobile device to monitor multiple networks with a single radio frequency (RF) chain while avoiding the problems often associated with tune-away methods, such as loss of throughput, loss of tracking or synchronization, delays in acknowledgments, delays in rate control or channel quality control feedback, etc. The transmitter may remain tuned to a first network while the receiver may be separately tuned to one or more other networks. In various embodiments, the separately tuned receiver may monitor for paging signals on one or more networks while the transmitter remains tuned to the first network and transmits data or control signals.

  • Patent number: 9037168
    Abstract: The various embodiments include methods for managing how a MSMS communication device that is accessing an arbitrary combination of multiple telephony networks processes paging collisions. The embodiment methods promote improving a subscription's page blocking rate by causing a MSMS communication device to implement a retransmission remedial action for a blocked subscription. In the various embodiments, the MSMS communication device may implement the retransmission remedial action by increasing a blocked subscription's priority during a subsequent retransmission interval to increase the likelihood that the blocked subscription will receive a repeated page message from its mobile network during this retransmission interval. In some embodiments, the blocked subscription's current priority may be based on the number of retransmission intervals that are presently occurring.
