20100184429 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OBTAINING CANDIDATE INFORMATION - A method, computer readable medium and mobile device for operating using more than one Radio Access Technology (RAT) are provided. When the mobile device is operating in a serving cell of a first RAT, it obtains, through at least one of wireless access radios in the mobile device, a first set of candidate information from a message transmitted for the serving cell. It also obtains, through at least one of the wireless access radios, a second set of candidate information from a message transmitted for a neighbour cell of the serving cell. The mobile device considers the candidate information from the first set and the candidate information from the second set for reselection by the mobile device. | 07-22-2010 |
20100279679 | Methods and Apparatus for Handling Measurement Reports - A network comprising a component configured to update an active set (AS) of cells based on a collective consideration of a plurality of cell measurement reports received during radio reconfiguration. Also included is a user equipment (UE), comprising a component configured such that the UE combines a plurality of cell measurement reports triggered briefly before and/or during radio reconfiguration, the combined measurement report used to update an AS of cells. Also included is a method comprising transmitting a radio bearer reconfiguration message, receiving a plurality of cell measurement reports, receiving a radio bearer reconfiguration complete message, and updating a plurality of AS cells using the combined cell measurement reports. Also included is a method comprising receiving a radio bearer reconfiguration message, obtaining a plurality of cell measurement reports, and sending a combined cell measurement report based on the cell measurement reports. | 11-04-2010 |

20110202797 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESETTING A SUBSYSTEM OF A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - Described herein are a method, system, and computer readable medium for resetting a subsystem of a communication device. The method involves utilizing a subsystem error handler to generate a reset request signal indicating the subsystem has experienced an exception; distributing to a software component, residing externally to the subsystem, a status message indicative of a current state of the subsystem; performing a reset of the subsystem in response to the reset request signal; and rebooting the subsystem. When the subsystem can be reset without performing a system wide reset of the communication device, communication device downtime is reduced, which facilitates a positive user experience. | 08-18-2011 |

20120082138 | Scanning Methods And Apparatus For System Acquisition - A method for searching for a requested CDMA system using a receiver having an AFC circuit is described. A system acquisition scan is performed over a plurality of candidate frequencies. In the scan, a first pilot signal of a first system is detected on one of the frequencies, and information from the first system is decoded. If the first system is different from the requested system, then the first pilot signal is assigned as a first timing reference in the receiver for remaining frequencies. Subsequently, a second pilot signal of a second system is detected on another one of the frequencies, and information from the second system is decoded. If the second system is different from the requested system, and the first pilot signal fails below a predetermined threshold value, then the second pilot signal is selected as a second timing reference in the receiver for remaining frequencies. | 04-05-2012 |

20090279508 | Scanning Methods And Apparatus For System Acquisition - In one illustrative example, a system acquisition method suitable for use in W-CDMA utilizes a receiver having an automatic frequency control (AFC) circuit. A system acquisition scan is performed over a plurality of candidate frequencies in an RF band. During the system acquisition scan, a pilot signal of a system on one of the candidate frequencies is detected. When information of the system is successfully decoded, and the system is different from a requested system (e.g. not the RPLMN or HPLMN), the pilot signal of the system is assigned as a timing reference in the receiver for one or more remaining candidate frequencies of the system acquisition scan. Therefore, an AFC window time otherwise needed to converge on a remaining candidate frequency is not needed or reduced. | 11-12-2009 |
20130003523 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RADIO RESOURCE CONTROL PROCEDURES - A system and method for addressing RLC unrecoverable errors experienced by User Equipment (UE) in a wireless network help the network to resolve the errors without shifting the UE into an Idle mode and dropping voice calls. A measurement event provides the buffer occupancy and identifies the affected radio bearer to the network. If the state of the bearer is not changed, the UE provides a Signaling Connection Release Indication message or a Radio Bearer Release Indication message to the network, the latter message identifying the radio bearer to be released without taking down the entire signaling connection for the domain. | 01-03-2013 |
