Abstract: Techniques for determining if it is safe for a mobile device to transition directly from a traffic session to a paging mode and for avoiding network re-synchronization procedures in stationary M2M devices are disclosed. It may be safe for direct transition if before-call and in-call network parameters correspond. If safe, the mobile device may transition from the traffic session directly to the paging mode to begin immediately monitoring the paging channel. In stationary M2M devices, paging information is stored before the traffic session and, once the traffic session is complete, the M2M device may be configured to receive paging messaging based on the stored paging information. The M2M device may also store system access information and confirm the validity of the information before returning to the sleep state. The stationary M2M device avoids network re-synchronization procedures. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for wireless enhanced uplink (UL) radio link control (RLC) flow control for multi-radio access bearer (MRAB) calls. In one aspect, a device configured to manage a wireless connection in a voice and data communication is provided. The device includes a receiver configured to receive radio link control (RLC) control information. The device further includes a controller configured to detect one or more radio frequency (RF) conditions. The controller is further configured to dynamically adjust, independent of the received RLC control information, RLC flow control in response to the RF conditions.

Abstract: Methods and devices for dynamically controlling a transmission power of an HS-DPCCH are disclosed. A wireless user equipment receives downlink transmissions on a data channel from a serving cell, and determines a rate of duplicate packets on the data channel. The UE interprets a high rate of duplicate transmissions as an indication that the HS-DPCCH is not being successfully decoded, and therefore increases the transmission power of the HS-DPCCH. Correspondingly, the UE interprets a low rate of duplicate transmissions as an indication that the HS-DPCCH may have too high a transmission power, and therefore decreases the transmission power of the HS-DPCCH.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are described herein to manage a serving cell change. Timers are used to monitor one or more cells which become stronger relative to a cell which is currently the best cell. These one or more cells may be referred to as pending best cells. Further, in some aspects, additional timers can be started for any cell relative to any pending best cell when the respective cell becomes stronger than the respective pending best cell.

Abstract: Disclosed are circuits, techniques and methods for implementing a process of selectively bypassing a duplexer in a transmission path. In a particular embodiment, a receiver and a transmitter are coupled to a shared antenna through a duplexer. The duplexer may be selectively bypassed under certain conditions while the receiver is disabled and/or powered off.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improving call setup performance. In certain aspects, a User Equipment (UE) or a network servicing the UE, may detect at least one of the occurrence or anticipated occurrence of circuit switched (CS) signaling by a user equipment (UE), wherein the CS signaling at least comprises signaling associated with a CS call setup procedure, suspend packet-switched (PS) signaling or processing of such PS signaling in order to avoid delaying circuit-switched (CS) signaling, at least until the PS signaling may not substantially effect CS domain activity. In an aspect, a progress of a CS call setup procedure may be monitored and the PS signaling or processing of such PS signaling may be resumed based on completion of a radio bearer setup step in the CS call setup procedure.
