Abstract: Methods of providing service continuity with respect to a service of a first network for a user equipment and a service of a second network for the user equipment, as well as a user equipment and networks being adapted to be operated according to the methods are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for resource collision avoidance in sidelink for discontinuous reception (DRX). For example, certain embodiments described herein may help to ensure a reliable method for reaching a power saving solution for an autonomous resource selection, using a fixed set of rules, based on concepts of sub-pools. This may be done by indicating a set of resources to user equipment (UEs), which may be used for sensing and selection. The resources provided may be offset by a number of resources selected at random, based on UE-identifier, or as otherwise indicated.

Abstract: A communication method and device are described. In the communication method, a quality indicator value associated with the first communication protocol is calculated based on a signal characteristic of first communication protocol. A quality indicator value associated with the first communication protocol is determined based on a signal characteristic of the first communication protocol. Further, a gap time is calculated which represents the time until a next communication gap resulting from a first communication via the first communication protocol and second communication via a second communication protocol. A quality report value can be calculated based on the quality indicator value and a comparison of the gap time and a reporting time threshold value. Further, a quality report can be generated based on the quality report value.

Abstract: A mobile terminal device having a first radio connection and a second radio connection may also include a radio processing circuit configured to receive and process radio frequency signals and a baseband modem system including of one or more baseband modems, the baseband modem system configured to identify a missed subframe of the first radio connection, select a subframe from one or more additional subframes of the first radio connection during which to schedule radio activity of the second radio connection based on a probability metric for each of the one or more additional subframes, where the probability metric for each given subframe of the one or more additional subframes indicates a probability that the subframe contains a data block of the missed subframe, and perform the scheduled radio activity of the second radio connection during the selected subframe of the first radio connection.

Abstract: A method and device for providing access to a radio frequency (RF) unit of the device, comprising assigning a static weight value to each of a plurality of signals, calculating a true weight value for each signal comprising modifying the static weight value with a dynamic value, wherein the dynamic value is based on at least one of a performance consideration value or a signal status value, determining a signal with a highest true weight value from the plurality of signals; and providing the signal with the highest true weight value access to the RF unit of the device.
