Abstract: A method for reestablishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection on a second subscription upon completion of a voice call on a first subscription for a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) multi-standby (MSMS) mobile communication device, includes: starting a voice call timer at the start of the voice call on the first subscription; stopping the voice call timer upon completion of the voice call on the first subscription; determining an elapsed time of the voice call on the first subscription based on a value of the voice call timer; and determining whether the elapsed time of the voice call on the first subscription is greater than a value of a network connectivity timer.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods performed on a wireless communication device for facilitating cell global identity (CGI) measurements when a call is underway using a first wireless communication technology (e.g., LTE) and the CGI measurement is to be conducted on a cell supporting a second wireless communication technology. A processor of the wireless communication device may perform power scans of a plurality of neighboring cells supporting the second communication technology, and select one of the plurality of neighboring cells based on the power scans. The processor may conduct a CGI measurement of the selected neighboring cell, and report measurement results to the wireless network. The processor of the wireless communication device may store a history of CGI measurement and/or camping on cells of the second communication technology, and use the stored information when power scans of neighboring cells yield similar results.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) enabling a first subscription and a second SIM enabling a second subscription to manage communications over the first subscription and the second subscription including determining a change in device mode associated with the first subscription and updating the change in device mode by sending a device capability information message to the first network associated with the first subscription in response to determining the change in device mode without performing a de-attach procedure with the first network.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines an emergency health condition for a user that is defined based on a set of health-related parameters crossing a corresponding set of thresholds. The UE receives health data from a set of health monitoring sensors that are each configured to monitor one or more health-related parameters of the user. The UE detects, while a restricted mode restricting access to a set of communicative functions of the UE is active, that the emergency health condition for the user exists based on the received health data indicating that the set of health-related parameters have crossed the corresponding set of thresholds. The UE disables the restricted mode in response to the detecting. The UE conveys, using one or more communicative functions from the set of communicative functions that are made available by the disabling of the restricted mode, an alarm related to the detected emergency health condition for the user.

Abstract: A method for prioritizing a mobile originated emergency call over mobile terminated call signaling, includes: initiating an emergency call on a first subscription; determining whether a mobile terminated (MT) call is incoming on a second subscription; in response to determining that the MT call is incoming on the second subscription, aborting the MT call signaling; determining whether the first subscription is out of service; and in response to determining that the first subscription is not out of service completing the emergency call on the first subscription.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to managing reselection for a wireless communication device having a first subscription associated with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and a second subscription associated with a second RAT, including determining an occurrence of a barring procedure that bars a target cell or a target frequency for the first subscription for a barring duration and deprioritizing the target cell or the target frequency for the barring duration on the second subscription

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may determine that a number of access stratum (AS) operations or communications have failed while attempting to communicate with a cell. Based on the AS failures, the UE may deprioritize the cell. For example, based on the deprioritization, the UE may bar certain cells from selection or reselection procedures. The UE may thus attempt to select or reselect a different cell even if the cell is ranked lower based on a selection criteria or reselection criteria. In some cases, UEs may store and share historical AS failure information that may also be used to determine when to deprioritize a cell. In some cases, a group of cells may be deprioritized (e.g., a group based on frequency, network, or tracking area).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium that is able to avoid ping pong mobility when a redirection procedure fails. The apparatus may attempt to perform a redirection procedure from a first RAT to a target frequency of a second RAT. The apparatus may receive a redirection failure notification indicating that the target frequency of the second RAT is unavailable. The apparatus may refrain from initiating a reselection procedure to the target frequency of the second RAT for a predetermined time period. The apparatus may deprioritize the target frequency of the second RAT for the predetermined time period when the target frequency of the second RAT is unavailable and is present in an SIB received from the neighbor cell. The apparatus may generate a list of banned frequencies that includes the target frequency of the second RAT when the target frequency of the second RAT is unavailable.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus selects an LTE serving cell and a non-LTE serving cell. Measurement objects corresponding thereto are identified based on a review of broadcasted system information and historical information relating to prior serving cells. The apparatus identifies measurement objects from other radio access technologies (RATs) (WCDMA, CDMA, GSM). The remaining measurement objects may be identified based on measurement identifiers. The apparatus performs wireless measurements based on the selected serving cells and identified measurement objects. The resulting measurements are transmitted to the network for use in determining channel conditions.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for managing a list of target frequencies for cell measurement. A set of available target frequencies for performing cell measurements from a serving cell can be received, and at least a subset of the set of available target frequencies can be prioritized based at least in part on a list of a plurality of target frequencies stored in a reselection database for the serving cell. Cell measurements can be performed based at least in part on at least the subset of the set of available target frequencies as prioritized. Additionally, the plurality of target frequencies in the reselection database may correspond to target frequencies to which successful reselection has occurred from the serving cell.

Abstract: A method for determining candidate radio access technology (RAT) layers includes selecting one or more initial candidate RAT layer, for each configured RAT type of a UE, for a target RAT candidate list. The target can be for redirection or handover, for example. Each initial candidate RAT layer is selected regardless of network indicated RAT priorities and measurement object IDs. The method also includes selecting additional candidate RAT layers, for the list, based on the network indicated RAT priorities or the measurement object IDs. The method may be specified for when a UE is in a connected mode or an idle mode.
