Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured with two subscriber identity modules (SIMs). The UE may select a synchronization beam associated with a random access occasion of a first SIM based on the random access occasion not overlapping in time with a reception opportunity (e.g., a paging occasion) of the second SIM. In some examples, the UE may select the synchronization beam based on an identified signal quality of the synchronization beam (e.g., in comparison to other available synchronization beams that are non-overlapping with the reception opportunity). The UE may perform a random access procedure (e.g., using the first SIM) during the random access occasion associated with the selected synchronization beam and, in some cases, may also monitor (e.g., using the second SIM) resources associated with the paging opportunity.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may measure a plurality of beams, from a base station, wherein the plurality of beams are associated with a corresponding plurality of monitoring occasions for a first subscription of the UE. The UE may determine whether a monitoring occasion for a second subscription of the UE collides with one or more of the plurality of monitoring occasions, for the first subscription of the UE, corresponding with the plurality of beams. The UE may transmit, to the base station, an indication of a selected beam, from the plurality of beams, based at least in part on the measuring and the determining. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: A UE registers with a paging hub to a message forwarding service that is configured to forward information from messages wirelessly transmitted by two or more RANs associated with different RAT-types to the UE over a local wireless network that is separate from the two or more RANs. The UE refrains from monitoring a set of downlink wireless channels used by the two or more RANs while the paging hub monitors the set of downlink wireless channels on behalf of the UE. The paging hub detects a signaling message that is targeted to the UE by a given RAN, and forwards a message including information derived from the signaling message to the local wireless network for transmission to the UE. The UE receives the forwarded message and selectively communicates with the given RAN in response to the received message.

Abstract: A method for providing variable padding for tune away on a mobile communication device includes: performing a first tune away to a first radio access technology (RAT) on a first subscription; determining a status of a second RAT on a second subscription based on activities performed by the second RAT during a time period prior to the first tune away; determining padding for a second tune away to the first RAT based on the determined status of the second RAT; and causing the first RAT on the first subscription to wake up before a next page slot boundary by an amount of time equal to the padding.

Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to facilitate tune-away operations in situations in which multiple subscriptions are employed. According to one example, an access terminal performing an acquisition procedure for a first subscription may suspend the acquisition procedure to obtain a paging message for a second subscription. The access terminal can tune away from the first subscription to the second subscription and monitor for a mobile-terminated page. After a mobile-terminated page associated with the second subscription is received and processed, the access terminal may resume the acquisition procedure for the first subscription. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.

Abstract: Access terminals are configured to decrease awake state durations (and conversely increase standby state durations) utilizing a preamble skip operation.

The access terminal may further be configured to decode the control channel transmission in accordance with a predicted data rate. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
