  • Publication number: 20240365269
    Abstract: A UE may identify an offset period associated with an NTN cell based on a SIB. The UE may identify a TA value associated with the NTN cell for the UE based on a location of the UE and a location of a satellite of the NTN cell. The UE may identify whether the TA value associated with the NTN cell for the UE is less than the offset period associated with the NTN cell. The UE may block the NTN cell for a first duration or until a reboot of the UE if the TA value associated with the NTN cell for the UE is greater than the offset period associated with the NTN cell.

  • Publication number: 20230379079
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for false positive detections of DCI requests to switch BWPs. A UE may receive a DCI request to switch from a first BWP to a second BWP and may reject the DCI request for a switch from the first BWP to the second BWP based on at least one of a conflict with a TDD pattern associated with the DCI request, a DCI decoder metric, or a number of error-corrected modulation symbols that indicates a false positive detection of the DCI request.

  • Publication number: 20180220329
    Abstract: A multi-subscriber identification module (SIM) wireless communication device with a first SIM and a second SIM associated with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource may determine that timing collisions are predicted between an active period of a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle associated with the first SIM and an active period of a DRX cycle associated with the second SIM. In response, the wireless communication device may determine whether the first SIM is registered with an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to use Voice-over-wireless local area network (VoWLAN) service over a wireless local area network (WLAN). If the first SIM is registered with the IMS to use VoWLAN service over the WLAN, the wireless communication device may shift the conflicting DRX cycle associated with the first SIM by a time margin, and receive paging messages for mobile terminating calls on the modem stack associated with the first SIM over the WLAN.

  • Publication number: 20180124784
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) are described. A UE may be operating in a downlink carrier (DL) carrier aggregation (CA) mode, which may include a first component carrier and a second carrier component of a set of component carriers. The UE may determine the second component carrier satisfies throughput requirements associated with an uplink (UL) data transmission. The UE may determine, a transmission current consumption relationship between the first component carrier and the second component carrier. The UE may determine, based on the transmission current consumption relationship, whether to switch the anchor carrier from the first component carrier to the second component carrier. When the UE determined to switch the anchor carrier, the UE may modify a measurement report to satisfy a condition for switching the anchor carrier from the first component carrier to the second component carrier.

  • Publication number: 20160381710
    Abstract: In a multi-subscription wireless communication device with a shared radio frequency (RF) resource, when there is an active data communication associated with the first SIM, a tune-away may be performed to support a subscription on a second SIM. After tuning to the second network to receive data during an assigned time slot in a frame capable of carrying a common control channel the wireless communication device may determine whether a message granting or denying the requested channel access can be recovered or excluded, and skip receiving remaining frames for the message and stop tune-aways when a message granting the requested channel access can be excluded. In some embodiments determining whether the message can be excluded may include determining whether a signal-to-noise ratio for the received data burst is greater than 10 dB, and if so, determining whether the decoded data can be identified as part of a paging message.

  • Publication number: 20160105869
    Abstract: Aspects of managing background public mobile network (BPLMN) searches are described. For example, in an aspect, a user equipment (UE) may determine whether one or more segments of a frequency acquisition from a prior discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle remain to be completed and whether the one or more segments of the frequency acquisition may be performed in a remaining portion of the current DRX cycle. If so, the UE may be configured to perform the one or more segments of the frequency acquisition when the identified remaining portion of the current DRX cycle provides sufficient time.

  • Publication number: 20150163726
    Abstract: Aspects of apparatus and methods for wireless communication include starting to perform a manual public land mobile network (PLMN) search by a user equipment (UE); while the manual PLMN search is ongoing, scanning one or more frequency bands to determine an available cell; and determining whether to camp on the available cell before the manual PLMN search is completed by the UE. In some aspects, the determining of whether to camp on the available cell includes decoding a system information block (SIB) or system information (SI) related to a cell suitability criterion of the available cell; determining whether the available cell is suitable based on the SIB or the SI; when the available cell is suitable, suspending the manual PLMN search and decoding other related SIBs or SIs of the available cell; and when the available cell is not suitable, resuming the manual PLMN search.

  • Publication number: 20150146627
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and apparatus to improve public land mobile network search time. A user equipment (UE) may determine a subset of channels within a frequency band based on a stored identifier of a channel used by a previously acquired cell, each channel in the subset being spaced from the channel used by the previously acquired cell by a different multiple of a set spacing, the set spacing being greater than a spacing between adjacent channels. The subset of channels may be scanned to determine a signal strength of each channel in the subset. The UE may rank each channel in the subset according to the determined signal strength of the channel and attempt to acquire a cell using a channel in the subset based on the ranking.

  • Patent number: 6604166
    Abstract: A memory architecture is provided to enable parallel access along any dimension of an n-dimensional data array. To enable parallel access of s data elements along any dimension, the data elements of n-dimensional data array are mapped to s parallel memory banks in such a way that consecutive s data elements along any dimension are mapped to different memory banks. This mapping is defined by two functions, which define the memory bank number and location within a memory bank for each data element in n-dimensional data array. The necessary and sufficient conditions, which the mapping functions should satisfy in order to enable parallel data access, are described. These generic function pairs are described for all combinations of (n, s). Two particular instances of the mapping, namely circular permutation (rotation) along 0th dimension and dyadic permutation along 0th dimension have been discussed in detail.
