Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A software application executing on a user equipment (UE) identifies an indication of status information of the UE; the status information is transmitted from the UE to a remote server; the UE receives, by way of a base station associated with the UE, a recommended connection setting for the UE based at least in part on the indication of status information, the recommended connection setting determined by the remote server.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to using an external memory for both a wireless wide area network (WWAN) and a wireless local area network (WLAN) for WLAN power savings. An exemplary method includes obtaining messages (e.g., paging messages) via a receiver; reading, during a first wakeup period in which the apparatus is to monitor for messages in a first wireless local area network (WLAN) while the receiver is powered on, state information for the first WLAN from a shared memory also used to store state information for a wireless wide area network (WWAN), and using the state information to configure the apparatus for communicating in the first WLAN.
