20130242774 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MEASUREMENT SCHEDULING BASED ON AN UNDETECTED FREQUENCY - Apparatus and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include operating a wireless device on a first wireless communication technology and detecting a first cell in first frequency of a second wireless communication technology. The aspects also include determining the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfies a first reselection criterion based on a first measurement and identifying a second frequency of the second wireless communication technology as an undetected frequency based on monitoring the second frequency without detecting a second cell. Aspects also include expediting a determination of whether to perform cell reselection to the second wireless communication technology based on the undetected frequency and the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfying the first reselection criterion and determining to reselect to the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology. | 09-19-2013 |
20130244657 | APPARATUS AND METHOD OF INTER-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY MEASUREMENT SCHEDULING - Apparatus and method for wireless communication in a wireless communication network includes operating a wireless device on a first wireless communication technology. Aspects also include detecting a cell of a second wireless communication technology and determining the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfies a first reselection criterion based on a first measurement. Still further the aspects includes expediting a determination of whether to perform cell reselection to the second wireless communication technology based on the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology satisfying the first reselection criterion. Additionally, aspects include determining to reselect to the detected cell of the second wireless communication technology when the at least one new measurement satisfies a second reselection criterion for the reselection time period. | 09-19-2013 |
20140135016 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING THE FREQUENCY OF AUTONOMOUS SEARCH FUNCTIONS FOR DISCOVERING CSG CELLS - Apparatus and methods of maintaining a cell database for wireless communications include discovering a second cell to which a user equipment may reselect. In an aspect, the user equipment may be currently served by a first cell and the second cell is a closed subscriber group cell. Further, aspects include querying a fingerprinting database to determine whether the second cell was previously recorded in the fingerprinting database. Upon determining that the second cell was not previously recorded, further aspects include adding the second cell to the fingerprinting database. Adding the second cell may comprise indicating an association between the first cell and the second cell in the fingerprinting database. | 05-15-2014 |
20140256327 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED RESELECTION DURING MODE TRANSITIONS - The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for improved reselection during mode transitions at a user equipment (UE). For example, the disclosure presents a method for identifying that a user equipment (UE) has started switching from a first priority scheduling mode to a second priority scheduling mode while making measurements for reselection. In addition, such an example method, may include initiating a mode transition timer in response to the identification and triggering a search for one or more frequencies of the second priority scheduling mode upon expiration of the mode transition timer. As such, an improved reselection during mode transitions at UE may be achieved. | 09-11-2014 |
20140315551 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BACK TO BACK RESELECTION SCHEDULING UPON CELL RESELECTION FAILURE - Methods and apparatus for wireless communication for improving back to back cell reselection that includes establishing that cell reselection to a primary candidate cell has failed. Afterwards, a UE determines if a set of predetermined conditions have been triggered and schedules cell reselection to a secondary candidate based on whether the set of predetermined conditions have been triggered. | 10-23-2014 |
20140335862 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCED CELL DETECTION - Methods and apparatus of cell detection include determining whether communication between a user equipment and a serving cell satisfies a serving cell unsuitability condition. The methods and apparatus further include performing one or more autonomous search procedures based on whether the serving cell unsuitability condition has been satisfied. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include conducting cell reselection based on one or more results from the one or more autonomous search procedures, wherein the one or more results indicate at least one suitable cell for reselection. | 11-13-2014 |
20150056997 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR IMPROVED CELL RE-SELECTION WITH AUTONOMOUS SEARCH FUNCTION - Apparatus and methods are described for identifying candidate cells on at least one frequency, where each of the candidate cells is associated with a cell quality, storing information related to each of the candidate cells in a candidate list, sorting the candidate list, and decoding a master information block (MIB) and one or more system information blocks (SIBs) for a subset of the candidate cells based on the sorting. | 02-26-2015 |
20150079988 | INTER-RAT AND INTRA-RAT SMALL CELL RESELECTION - Cell reselection for transitioning a user device from a macro cell to a small cell may be performed by comparing a first reselection candidate small cell and a second reselection candidate small cell based on reselection criteria, and selecting a final reselection candidate based on the comparison. | 03-19-2015 |
20150079989 | APPARATUS AND METHODS OF CELL RESELECTION WHEN CAMPING ON A SMALL COVERAGE CELL - Methods and apparatus are described for cell reselection when camping on a small cell. The methods and apparatus include determining, by a user equipment (UE), whether to perform a cell reselection evaluation after camping on a small cell communicating with the UE; performing a measurement of a signal transmitted by the small cell in response to determining whether to perform the cell reselection evaluation; determining that a signal characteristic based on the measurement of the signal of the small cell falls below a cell reselection measurement triggering threshold; performing a measurement of a respective signal transmitted by one or more other cells in only a serving frequency; ranking the small cell relative to the one or more other cells; and remaining camped on the small cell when the small cell is ranked higher than the one or more other cells. | 03-19-2015 |
