Abstract: A user equipment device (UE) may receive a schedule for a listen before talk (LBT) procedure for a secondary component carrier on a first subscription associated with the UE that includes a radio frequency resource of the UE. The UE may determine a requirement to perform at least one operation on a second subscription associated with the UE that also includes the radio frequency resource. The UE may determine that performance of the at least one operation (at least partially) interferes (time overlaps) with performance of the LBT procedure. In response, the UE may initiate at least one scheduling operation at the UE to avoid interference between performance of the at least one operation on the second subscription and performance of the LBT procedure on the first subscription.

The UE generates the message where the message includes a plurality of segments based on the segment limit. Subsequently, the UE transmits the message to the network.

Abstract: Techniques are provided to initiate signal transmissions for possible opportunistic reception by a mobile device, and/or to initiate opportunistic reception of signal transmissions for use in mobile device position location estimation. For example, a mobile device may use assistance data to identify a first signal to be transmitted over a first frequency band and a second signal to be transmitted over a second frequency band during a specific period of time. At least a portion of the second frequency band may be outside of the first frequency band. The mobile device subsequently attempts to opportunistically receive at least the first signal and the second signal via a receiver tuned to a reception frequency band that encompasses at least the first frequency band and the second frequency band. The mobile device may then process the opportunistically received signals to obtain measurements corresponding to at least the first and second signals.
