Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus optimizing the performance of a radio access technology, such as LTE, in a single radio wireless communication system supporting multiple radio access technologies, such as both LTE and 1x CDMA. The methods and apparatus effectuate this optimization in a single radio LTE (SRLTE) device, for example, through increasing system parameters, such as Slot Cycle Index (SCI) related to a maximum allowed periodicity of when a wireless device tune away from a LTE data call to monitor paging from 1x CDMA. Increasing the SCI value in the wireless device reduces the periodicity of 1x CDMA paging tune away from an LTE data call, thereby optimizing the LTE performance.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer-readable medium for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a first device. The first device operates a ROHC compressor in a first state at a ROHC sublayer to compress a first packet to be transmitted to a second device. The first packet includes information for a ROHC decompressor to establish a ROHC context. The information enables the ROHC decompressor to decompress a second packet compressed by the ROHC compressor when operating in a second state. The first device determines, at a sublayer or a layer lower than the ROHC sublayer, whether the first packet has been successfully received at the second device. The first device continues operating the ROHC compressor in the first state in response to a determination that the first packet has not been successfully received at the second device.

Abstract: Techniques for determining if it is safe for a mobile device to transition directly from a traffic session to a paging mode and for avoiding network re-synchronization procedures in stationary M2M devices are disclosed. It may be safe for direct transition if before-call and in-call network parameters correspond. If safe, the mobile device may transition from the traffic session directly to the paging mode to begin immediately monitoring the paging channel. In stationary M2M devices, paging information is stored before the traffic session and, once the traffic session is complete, the M2M device may be configured to receive paging messaging based on the stored paging information. The M2M device may also store system access information and confirm the validity of the information before returning to the sleep state. The stationary M2M device avoids network re-synchronization procedures. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for reducing a call setup time in wireless communication systems, particularly for systems employing SVLTE where an LTE network is used for data and a 1×CDMA network for voice. The methods and apparatus feature the capability during mobile terminated (MT) calls to modify a normal mode of operation of a predefined operation in a mobile terminal (e.g., call switched fallback (CSFB)), wherein processes normally performed for between a first network (e.g., LTE) are not performed in the mobile terminal, allowing a page response message to be sent directly, and thus sooner, to the other network (e.g., 1×CDMA) in response to an MT call page. This hybrid operation allowing the skipping of normal processes reduces the time for call set up.
