Abstract: The disclosure discloses enabling/disabling receive diversity, including determining the UE in a receive diversity enabled state; comparing a first and second receive chain filtered channel chip energy to interference density ratio to an EcI0 threshold, wherein the first and second receive chain filtered channel chip energy to interference density ratios are based on at least two power measurements obtained in the receive diversity enabled state; comparing a first receive chain measured number of Ec/I0 samples below EcI0_LCR_thrshld to a non-receive diversity threshold, wherein the first receive chain measured number of Ec/I0 samples is based on the first receive chain filtered channel chip energy to interference density ratio; and comparing a second receive chain measured number of Ec/I0 samples below EcI0_LCR_thrshld to the non-receive diversity threshold, wherein the second receive chain measured number of Ec/I0 samples is based on the second receive chain filtered channel chip energy to interference densi

Abstract: A method for providing variable padding for tune away on a mobile communication device includes: performing a first tune away to a first radio access technology (RAT) on a first subscription; determining a status of a second RAT on a second subscription based on activities performed by the second RAT during a time period prior to the first tune away; determining padding for a second tune away to the first RAT based on the determined status of the second RAT; and causing the first RAT on the first subscription to wake up before a next page slot boundary by an amount of time equal to the padding.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for selecting one or more suitable antennas for use during power-up/initial acquisition and out of service modes are disclosed. In some examples, initial system acquisition may be performed for a particular receive circuit utilizing a selected one of a first antenna or a second antenna, based on a channel characteristic, such as an automatic gain control (AGC) value corresponding to a received signal energy utilizing either of the antennas. In another example, initial system acquisition utilizing either a receive diversity determination algorithm or an antenna switching determination algorithm may be performed based on a channel characteristic, such as an AGC value corresponding to a received signal energy utilizing one of the antennas coupled to one of the receive circuits.
