Patent number: 9462489Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods implemented in a mobile communication device (e.g., a multi-RAT communication device) for maintaining at least one separate RGS value for each of a plurality of RATs operating on the mobile communication device. Specifically, a device processor on the mobile communication device (e.g., a crystal oscillator manager) may maintain a separate, up-to-date RGS value for each of the plurality of RATs and may associate each of the plurality of RATs with their respective RGS values. By keeping track of the plurality of RATs' respective RGS values, the device processor may ensure that an appropriate RGS value is used to facilitate each RAT's individual operations, such as acquisition/re-acquisition operations, sleep scheduling calculations, and handover/inter-RAT measurement operations. As a result, various embodiments may improve the performance of each RAT and the overall performance of the mobile communication device.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sasidhar Movva, Mihir Pravin Nabar, Chih-Ping Hsu, Sridhar Bandaru, Shriram Gurumoorthy, Francis Ming-Meng Ngai, Christopher Barrett, Bhaskara Viswanadham Batchu

Publication number: 20160126992Abstract: Various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media for mitigating local oscillator (LO) spur interference between radio access technologies (RATs) operating on a multi-active communication device. The various embodiments provide methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media to determine residual frequency error for a multi-active communication device and generate LO spur handling tables that may enable the multi-active communication device to compensate for the residual frequency error. A multi-active communication device may mitigate LO spurs by applying mitigation techniques to one or more RATs according to the LO spur handling tables. A multi-active communication device may mitigate LO spurs by turning off a LOs for one or more RATs according to the LO spur handling tables.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2015Publication date: May 5, 2016Inventors: An-swol Clement Hu, Ashish Gaonekar, Narendra Varma Gottimukkala, Amirreza Khajehnasiri, Patrick Lim, Sridhar Bandaru, Erdogan Dede, Reza Shahidi

Patent number: 9323296Abstract: A system, a method and an apparatus are described. The apparatus includes a modem that responds to a thermal mitigation request by invoking different levels of thermal mitigation for different concurrently active connections. In some instances, the modem may invoke thermal mitigation with respect to a first active connection and refrain from invoking thermal mitigation with respect to a second active connection maintained by the modem. The apparatus determines the first and second active connections based on subscriptions corresponding to subscriber identification modules, an identification of a power amplifier or group of power amplifiers responsible for a thermal issue in the modem. The selection of mitigation levels for each active connection and decisions to invoke mitigation on one connection while refraining from invoking mitigation on another connection may be based on priorities of the active connections, including quality of service related priorities.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Francis M.

Publication number: 20150119103Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for prioritizing communication technologies to allocate resources in a mobile device. The mobile device may employ a dual subscription, dual active (DSDA) configuration in which two subscriptions may be associated with concurrently active communications, such as voice or data calls. The mobile device may identify current states that indicate the type of communications associated with the subscriptions. In an embodiment, an applications processor within the mobile device may perform the state identifications. The mobile device may determine priorities of the concurrently active subscriptions based on the identified states. In an embodiment, the priorities may be determined by a modem processor within the mobile device. When the priorities are determined to be the same, the mobile device may perform a tiebreaker algorithm to further identify priorities. Based on the determined priorities, the mobile device may allocate resources to favor the subscription with the higher priority.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2013Publication date: April 30, 2015Applicant: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Francis Ming-Meng NGAI, Reza Shahidi, Amit Mahajan, Sridhar Bandaru, Ashish Gaonekar, Jeffrey Niemann, Henri Felix Begin, Ling Hang, Srikanth Chintala, Shivank Nayak
