Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may calculate one or more parameters associated with a quality of communications between the UE and a base station. The UE may determine a bitrate for performing the communications based on the one or more calculated parameters prior to receiving a bitrate recommendation from the base station, and the UE may transmit, prior to receiving the bitrate recommendation from the base station, a request to perform the communications in accordance with the determined bitrate. The base station may determine whether to accept the requested bitrate, and perform the communications with the UE in accordance with the determination.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques transmitting a recommended bit rate query. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes participating in a voice call with a base station using a channel and a bit rate for the voice call, measuring one or more channel quality metrics for the channel during the voice call, determining whether to transmit a query message to the base station to request a change in the bit rate based, at least in part, on the measured one or more channel quality metrics, at least one of a handover indication received from the base station or a change mode request received from the base station, and a prohibit timer, and taking one or more actions based on the determination.

Abstract: A method of operating a wireless device includes determining to operate the wireless device in a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode of operation such that a receiver of the wireless device is expected to operate in a low-power state during a scheduled low-power period of time and the receiver is expected to operate in an active-power state during a scheduled active-power period of time. The wireless device schedules a measurement of a positioning signal using the receiver. The measurement is scheduled to occur during a scheduled measurement period of time. The scheduled measurement period of time at least partially overlaps with at least one of the scheduled low-power period of time or the scheduled active-power period of time. The wireless device operates the wireless device in the DRX mode of operation after scheduling the measurement and before a start of the scheduled measurement period of time.

Abstract: Various methods for performing an emergency call on a mobile communication device having a first subscription and a second subscription may include receiving, from a user, an input to perform the emergency call on the first subscription, attempting to establish the emergency call on the first subscription, attempting to establish the emergency call on the second subscription, determining whether the emergency call has been established on either the first subscription or the second subscription, completing the emergency call on the first subscription and cancelling the attempt to establish the emergency call on the second subscription in response to determining that the emergency call has been established on first subscription, and completing the emergency call on the second subscription and cancelling the attempt to establish the emergency call on the first subscription in response to determining that the emergency call has been established on second subscription.
