Techniques and apparatus for early termination of decoding of communication channels for power saving in narrowband devices are provided. One technique includes monitoring for one or more first repetitions of at least one communication channel from a base station. The device determines, based on the monitoring, whether to refrain from monitoring for one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel. The device enters a low power mode if the determination is to refrain from monitoring for the one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel.

Techniques for determining a position of a mobile device are provided. A method according to these techniques includes obtaining assistance data comprising information for cells associated with a plurality of wireless transmitters of a wireless communications network based on the coarse location of the mobile device, selecting a plurality of the cells from the assistance data, wherein selecting the plurality of cells includes identifying sets of colocated cells and selecting one cell from each of the colocated sets of cells; measuring signals from the plurality of cells to generate positioning signal measurements; and sending the positioning signal measurements to a location server. A colocated set of cells may include a narrowband cell and a non-narrowband cell, and the narrowband wireless cell may comprise a narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) cell and a non-narrowband cell colocated with the NB-IoT cell at an Evolved Node B (eNodeB).

Disclosed are systems and methods for continuous inter-frequency measurement reconfigurations in a DC-HSUPA User Equipment (UE). In one aspect, the system may configure the UE to perform intra-frequency measurements on a frequency f1 and inter-frequency measurements on a frequency f2 in a dual carrier (DC) downlink (DL) mode and a single carrier (SC) uplink (UL) mode. The system may then reconfigure the UE to operate in a DC UL mode and continuing to perform inter-frequency measurements on the frequency f2 in the DC UL mode. The system may then reconfigure the UE to operate in the SC UL mode and continuing to perform inter-frequency measurements on frequency f2 in the SC UL mode.

Techniques to efficiently search for wireless networks while minimizing page loss are described. An available search time that excludes paging periods is determined. A search for cells in wireless networks is performed during the available search time. Pertinent information is obtained for cells acquired during the search. The pertinent information may be dependent on the type of search being performed. For a manual search to find detectable wireless networks, the pertinent information for each acquired cell may be network identifier information. For an automatic search to find higher priority wireless networks, the pertinent information for each acquired cell in a higher priority wireless network may be system information used to select that cell. The search may be suspended prior to a paging period. State information for the search may be saved prior to suspending the search. The search may be resumed using the saved state information at the end of the paging period.
