Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. To avoid radio link failure (RLF) events for user equipment (UEs) in areas determined to have less reliable cellular communications coverage, a UE may adjust transmission of and timing for certain types of wireless communication messages, including those with measurement reports. For example, based on measurements made by a UE, the UE may modify thresholds for mobility procedure-triggering events, which may cause an inter-radio access technology (RAT) handover event to occur earlier than normal. A UE may, for example, receive and measure signals, and it may determine that a Long Term Evolution (LTE) serving cell or an LTE coverage area offers unreliable coverage. The UE may modify its operations to cause an early trigger of an inter-RAT handover event. The UE may switch to a network operating according to a different RAT before experiencing an RLF on the LTE network.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. The described techniques allow a user equipment (UE) to conserve power after transitioning from one coverage mode to another coverage mode based on power consumption estimates. The UE may make a determination on whether to modify its current extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) values by either triggering an unscheduled timing update or waiting for a scheduled timing update. For instance, the UE may estimate power consumption based on current eDRX values and the time remaining until a scheduled timing update procedure and compare this estimate to power consumption estimate based on modified eDRX values and the amount of power consumed to perform an unscheduled timing update procedure. Based on the comparison, the UE may update its eDRX values through an unscheduled TAU or through the regularly scheduled TAU procedure.
