Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are provided for mobility management for wireless communications systems that utilize a flexible bandwidth carrier. Some embodiments include approaches for determining bandwidth information, such as one or more bandwidth scaling factors N and/or flexible bandwidths, at a user equipment (UE), where the bandwidth information may not be signaled to the UE. Embodiments for determining bandwidth information include: random ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, delay ordered bandwidth scaling factor approaches, storing bandwidth scaling factor value in UE Neighbor Record approaches, spectrum measurement approaches, spectrum calculation approaches, and/or a priori approaches. Flexible bandwidth carrier systems may utilize spectrum portions that may not be big enough to fit a normal waveform.

Abstract: A plurality of data samples are captured during a single capture period using a WLAN receive chain, wherein the data samples include a signal of interest periodically transmitted by a WWAN. A preferred LNA gain state is selected from among a plurality of available LNA gain states for the WLAN receive chain. The plurality of gain states may be a discrete set of LNA gain states or may be a set of LNA gain states derived from energy measurements. The LNA gain state of the WLAN receive chain is set to the selected LNA gain state and data samples are captured during each of a plurality of contiguous capture ticks within a capture period. The captured data samples are processed to detect for the signal of interest.

Abstract: Data samples of a signal transmitted by a WWAN are captured during a first set of capture ticks for a first capture period defined by a plurality of contiguous ticks. The first set of capture ticks comprises a first subset of the plurality of contiguous ticks, and the capturing is done using a WLAN receive chain having a switchable LNA gain state. The capturing of data samples is repeated for at least one additional capture period defined by a plurality of contiguous ticks to capture data samples during at least one additional set of capture ticks comprising an additional subset of the plurality of contiguous ticks for which data samples were not previously captured. The LNA gain state of the WLAN receive chain is switched at least once over the plurality of capture periods. Gain state switching may occur a capture period, or between capture periods.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing wireless communications. In the methods, systems, and devices, a subset of a set of neighboring cells is identified for measurement by a mobile device. The subset of neighboring cells is identified based on historical information associated with mobility patterns of the mobile device.
