  • Patent number: 10433368
    Abstract: A communications apparatus includes a radio transceiver and a processor. The radio transceiver is configured for transmitting or receiving wireless radio frequency signals to or from a peer device. The processor determines whether re-synchronization in a communication mode with the peer device is required according to a determination rule. When the re-synchronization is required, the processor transmits a message to the peer device via the radio transceiver to trigger a re-synchronization procedure. The processor determines whether the re-synchronization is required in a connected mode.

  • Publication number: 20170196025
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses pertaining to random access probing enhancement during state mismatch between a communication apparatus and a network apparatus may involve the communication apparatus determining whether a state mismatch exists between the communication apparatus and a network apparatus. The communication apparatus may also conduct a probing procedure responsive to a determination that the state mismatch exists. The network apparatus may transmit a value representative of a timer duration to the communication apparatus. The network apparatus may also participate in the probing procedure with the communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9392439
    Abstract: A communications apparatus is provided. A processor is coupled to a subscriber identity card and a radio transceiver module. The subscriber identity card camps on a first cell operated in a first serving network having a first serving network identifier via the radio transceiver module. The processor embeds information regarding the first serving network identifier in a first signal and transmits the first signal to a peer communications apparatus via the radio transceiver module.

  • Patent number: 8989745
    Abstract: A communication apparatus is provided. A processor camps on a first cell, which is associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) and belongs to a first wireless network, via a radio transceiver module, and further camps on a second cell, which is associated with a second RAT and belongs to a second wireless network, via the radio transceiver module. The processor constructs a first packet switch connection with the first wireless network via the first cell to perform data transfer in the first wireless network, measures a first data transfer throughput of the first wireless network when performing the data transfer via the cell, and determines to perform the data transfer in the second wireless network via the second cell when a theoretical data transfer throughput corresponding to the second RAT is higher than the first data transfer throughput.

  • Patent number: 8433279
    Abstract: A specific code indicative of a specific request is used to provide a communication device with an ability to send specific calls, such as emergency calls and silent calls, and the ability to distinguish the specific calls from the received calls. A method of sending a call includes generating a specific code indicative of a specific request, adding the specific code to a call, and then sending the call to a receiver for notifying the receiver of the specific request. A method of receiving a call includes determining whether a received call comprises a specific code indicative of a specific request, and generating an indication in response to the specific request when the received call is determined to comprise the specific code.

  • Publication number: 20120327790
    Abstract: A wireless communications device is provided with a baseband chip capable of coordinating operations between circuit-switched (CS) and packet-switched (PS) services with different subscriber identity cards. The baseband chip is configured to perform a packet switched (PS) data service associated with a second service network, sacrifice a portion of data transceiving from/to the second service network to monitor a channel associated with a first service network during the PS data service, so as to receive message from the first service network or maintain mobility in the first service network.
