The base station may be further configured to transmit a first paging message in the first conflict avoidance PO in a first DRX cycle. A UE may be configured to receive the one or more modified parameters in SIB. The UE may be configured to determine the first conflict avoidance PO based on the one or more modified parameters. The UE may be further configured to receive the first paging message in the first conflict avoidance PO in the first DRX cycle.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for quick radio link control (RLC) retransmission on hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) failure during tune away. According to certain aspects, a method for wireless communications is provided. The method generally includes performing communications with a base station (BS) using radio components tuned to a first air interface, detecting a tune-away of the radio components from the first air interface to a second air interface while performing the communications, and scheduling one or more packets for retransmission to the BS upon completion of the tune-away, wherein the one or more packets are one or more packets that failed to be transmitted due to the tune-away.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing network feedback information. The method may include establishing, at a first access terminal, a wireless link with an access point, receiving network configuration data from the access point, composing a network feedback expression that indicates a status or availability of at least one network service associated with the access point, and transmitting the network feedback expression to a second access terminal via a D2D link.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Some wireless devices (e.g., dual subscriber identity modules (SIM) devices) may support two subscriptions such that while one subscription is actively transmitting or receiving, the other subscription is put on standby. The wireless device may identify collisions in time between monitored paging messages associated with the first and second subscriptions. Accordingly, the wireless device may modify a radio access technology (RAT) priority setting for one of the subscriptions, such that paging messages may be received via a RAT different that the RAT used for the other subscription (e.g., following a cell reselection procedure performed according to the modified RAT priority). Operation using a modified RAT priority setting may be referred to as a fallback mode, which may be exited upon expiration of a timer. Additionally, discontinuous reception (DRX) durations associated with the RATs used for subscription paging may be reduced.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are described herein for a wireless communication device to request uplink grants associated with the first subscription using at least one Radio Frequency (RF) resource, including tuning away from the first subscription to the second subscription for a tune-away time interval, determining whether the tune-away time interval exceeds a threshold, transmitting at least one scheduling request associated with the first subscription for a throttled count in response to the tune-away time interval exceeding the threshold, wherein the throttled count is less than a default count, determining whether an uplink grant has been received in response to any of the at least one scheduling request transmitted within the throttled count, and initiating an uplink data Random Access Channel (RACH) process in response to not receiving the uplink grant.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.

Abstract: A UE registers with a paging hub to a message forwarding service that is configured to forward information from messages wirelessly transmitted by two or more RANs associated with different RAT-types to the UE over a local wireless network that is separate from the two or more RANs. The UE refrains from monitoring a set of downlink wireless channels used by the two or more RANs while the paging hub monitors the set of downlink wireless channels on behalf of the UE. The paging hub detects a signaling message that is targeted to the UE by a given RAN, and forwards a message including information derived from the signaling message to the local wireless network for transmission to the UE. The UE receives the forwarded message and selectively communicates with the given RAN in response to the received message.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines a failure to receive an MSI for a first MSP. The UE attempts to decode one or more subframes in the first MSP. The UE detects an occurrence of an MSP abort decoding event. The UE determines that the first MSP does not include any subframe that carries MBMS data of an MBMS segment based on the detection of the MSP abort decoding events. The UE aborts the attempt to decode the one or more subframes.

Abstract: Various examples include methods for assisting Global Positioning System (GPS) applications using a Long Term Evolution (LTE) subscription on a wireless communication device. Various example methods may include determining whether positioning information can be obtained from a first network associated with the LTE subscription, obtaining the positioning information from the first network through the LTE subscription in response to determining that the positioning information can be obtained from the first network, translating the positioning information into a format recognizable to a GPS application executing on the wireless communication device, and providing the positioning information to the GPS application.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to adaptive control channel detection in wireless communications. A signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) of a signal received by a receiver comprising multiple sub-receivers is measured, wherein the SINR is filtered according to a signal combining technology. Based at least in part on the SINR, it is determined whether to utilize the signal combining technology in combining signals related to a channel received over the multiple sub-receivers.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus, e.g., UE, suspends a discarding process of data packets associated with a first RAT during tune away by the UE to a second RAT by stopping a discard timer. The UE restarts the discarding process in response to an occurrence of a triggering event. The triggering event may occur when the UE tunes back to the first RAT, or when a duration of the UE tune away to the second RAT exceeds a threshold. The discarding process may be restarted by resuming the discard timer at the point in time where it was stopped or by resetting the timer to zero.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus establishes a wireless connection to a first network, determines a start time of a tune away procedure, enters a transmission freeze state for a first predetermined interval prior to the start time of the tune away procedure, tunes away from the first network for a second predetermined interval, and tunes back to the first network after the second predetermined interval.
