Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method and apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE) having at least two radio frequency (RF) chains and capable of communicating with first and second radio access networks (RANs). In aspects, the UE may utilize both RF chains to measure signals in the first RAN, during a first measurement period, while on the second RAN. The UE may determine signal conditions in the first RAN, based on the measurements, and decide, based on the determined signal conditions, which of the RF chains to use to measure signals in the first RAN during one or more subsequent measurement periods.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices providing a framework which reduces the amount of switching required by single transceiver hardware chain mobile devices operating multiple cellular technology and/or service stacks. The various embodiments enable two or more service stacks on the mobile device of various cellular technologies (e.g., 3GPP GSM, UMTS, LTE, WCDMA, etc), to share information, such as network measurements. The various embodiments may also enable one service stack to perform procedures for and provide information to another service stack.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling internal operation of a user equipment (UE) based on physical layer (PHY) parameters of a wireless network are disclosed. The PHY parameters may include a system bandwidth, an uplink-downlink configuration, a number of antennas, a number of carriers, etc. In one design, the UE may receive system information from the wireless network. The UE may obtain at least one PHY parameter of the wireless network, at a physical layer on the UE, based on the system information and/or other signaling. The UE may provide the at least one physical layer parameter to at least one entity (e.g., a memory and flow controller, a clock controller, a thermal mitigator, an application processor, etc.) within the UE for use to control internal operation of the UE.

Abstract: Systems and methods use the capabilities of multiple SIMs to prevent calls from being dropped on a multi-SIM wireless device. In the various embodiments, network conditions may be monitored for signal quality during an active call. When signal quality on the network deteriorates, the multi-SIM wireless device may switch the active call to a network associated with a different SIM that provides better service. To enable the switch, the multi-SIM wireless device may setup a conference call with the called party and the different SIM. In the various embodiments, the multi-SIM wireless devices may be a dual-SIM dual active (DSDA) wireless device.

Abstract: A particular method includes receiving first data via a first network at a device that is configured to receive the first data via the first network based on a first wireless communication subscription and is configured to receive second data via a second network based on a second wireless communication subscription. The method also includes while receiving the first data, determining that a tuneaway period associated with the second network has passed, where the tuneaway period is longer than a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle length associated with the second network. The method further includes tuning a receiver of the device to a paging channel of the second network in response to passing of the tuneaway period.

Abstract: A particular method includes sending a request from a mobile device associated with a plurality of subscriptions to a wireless communication network. The request indicates a time period requested by the mobile device as a non-communication time period of the wireless communication network with respect to the mobile device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed to provide for a multi-SIM wireless user equipment configured for autonomous tune-away operations enabling simultaneous communication on multiple subscriptions using a shared RF chain while maintaining a voice call. A multi-SIM user equipment may be capable of communicating with a first subscription and a second subscription via a transceiver. The user equipment may be engaged in circuit switched communication utilizing a first channel corresponding to the first subscription associated with a first USIM; and the transceiver may be autonomously tuned away from the first channel and tuned to a second channel corresponding to the second subscription associated with a second USIM, while the circuit switched communication is ongoing, and autonomously tuned back to the first channel. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

The page messages can be received by a communication device's communication interface, processes by a communication device's processor, and stored in a communication device's memory.

Abstract: The described aspects include a user equipment (UE) apparatus, network component, and corresponding methods of communicating power saving information using common uplink messages. By using a resource update message to communicate power saving information from a UE, the UE need not request and establish resources with the network for requesting a power state that uses less power than a current state. Similarly, in UE mobility, the UE can indicate previous power saving information to a target Node B to cause the target Node B to refrain from assigning resources to the UE.
