A communication device and a method to suspend monitoring of a first radio access network (RAN) on a frequency band shared with a second RAN, comprising receiving a signal from the second RAN on the frequency band; decoding the received signal; identifying a duration during which the second RAN occupies the frequency band based on the decoded signal; and suspending monitoring of the control channel of the first RAN on the frequency band for at least the identified duration.

Communication device and method for wireless communications

A communication device and method adapted for network data decoding and connection modes switching in a mobile communication system consisting of connecting to a network in a first mode comprising decoding data received from the network; receiving a message from the network; transmitting a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the message to the network; identifying a retransmission of the message from the network; and switching to a second mode comprising skipping data decoding based on the identified retransmission of the message from the network.

Communication device and method for decoding data from a network

A wireless communication device is disclosed that is capable of performing efficient handoffs in order to maximize connection time with either a serving or target base station. The wireless communication device performs measurements of only intra-frequency base stations to avoid retuning its radio module. Based on this information, as well as stored information relating to nearby base stations, the serving base station is able to estimate a position of the wireless communication device and compare the estimated position to positions of the known base stations in order to make a handoff decision. In addition, by storing information during measurement or handoff preparation, the device is capable of skipping handoff steps, immediately return to the serving base station after handoff failure, and/or perform streamlined PLMN searching.
