Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques transmitting a recommended bit rate query. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) generally includes participating in a voice call with a base station using a channel and a bit rate for the voice call, measuring one or more channel quality metrics for the channel during the voice call, determining whether to transmit a query message to the base station to request a change in the bit rate based, at least in part, on the measured one or more channel quality metrics, at least one of a handover indication received from the base station or a change mode request received from the base station, and a prohibit timer, and taking one or more actions based on the determination.

Techniques for transmission of recommended bit rate queries

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine, that the UE is registered for a voice-over wireless local area network (WLAN) service; and forgo, based at least in part on determining that the UE is registered for the voice-over WLAN service, waking up to perform a long term evolution (LTE) idle-mode operation, wherein the LTE idle-mode operation includes monitoring for a page during a paging occasion. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Techniques and apparatuses for long term evolution idle-mode and enhanced multimedia broadcast and multicast service concurrency operation

Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for providing notifications in a communication network of a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In an aspect, a supervisor device in the communication network detects a notification directed to a wireless mobile device in the communication network and sends at least one instruction to at least a first IoT device of the plurality of IoT devices to reduce an operating volume or suspend operation of the first IoT device. The first IoT device receives the at least one instruction from the supervisor device and reduces the operating volume of the IoT device or suspends the operation of the IoT device in response to the at least one instruction.

Smart notifications between devices

Embodiments described herein relate to extending an awake period (on duration) or an inactivity timer duration in a Connected Discontinuous Reception (CDRX) mode for a first subscription based on activities of a second subscription. A method according to some embodiments includes determining that the awake period of the CDRX cycle associated with the first subscription collides with the activities of the second subscription, and extending the awake period by an extended awake period in response to determining that the awake period collides with the activities of the second subscription. In addition, a method according to some embodiments includes determining that the inactivity timer duration collides with the activities of the second subscription, and extending the inactivity timer duration for an extended inactivity timer duration in response to determining that the inactivity timer duration collides with the activities of the second subscription.

Connected discontinuous reception (CDRX) management in multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) wireless communication devices

A method for cell reselection for a mobile communication device includes: selecting a best neighbor cell of a currently serving cell for a first subscription; starting a reselection timer; performing a plurality of signal measurements on the best neighbor cell; determining if a time period indicated by the reselection timer is expired; in response to a determination that the time period is expired, determining if a second subscription is engaged in an activity having higher priority than cell reselection; and in response to a determination that the second subscription is engaged in the activity having higher priority than cell reselection, inhibiting cell reselection on the first subscription.

Method for managing cell reselection in multi-subscriber identity module devices

A multi-Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) wireless communication device includes: a first communications unit; a second communications unit; a recording unit; and a control unit configured to cause the first communications unit to interrupt output of a first audio output signal to a sound reproduction device and conduct a first decoded audio signal to the recording unit; and the control unit configured to cause the second communications unit to output a second audio output signal to the sound reproduction device.

Enhanced call recording for dual-SIM dual-active wireless communication devices

A method for wireless communication by a wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device determines that the wireless communication device is in a limited service state. The wireless communication device camps on an available cell in response to the limited service state determination. The wireless communication device monitors a synchronization channel from the available cell at a reduced rate than a rate used for a full service state.

Operation in limited service state

Real-time Short Message Service (SMS) messaging between an originating device such as a mobile device or Short Message Entity (SME) and a destination device such as a mobile device or SME. The real-time SMS messaging may be provided by initiating a call session between the originating device and the destination device, sending the SMS message within the call session, and terminating the call session prior to establishment of dedicated call traffic resources. In some embodiments, existing mobile protocol stacks may be employed by using existing voice call setup procedures to initiate the call session before sending the SMS message. In some embodiments, call session protocol stacks are extended to provide for an indication of a real-time SMS session type in the call session setup signaling. Real-time SMS messaging may be offered as a value added service, according to various embodiments. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Real time SMS delivery mechanism

Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling efficient network registration using a shared radio resource for at least a first and second SIM of a multi-SIM wireless communication device. After the end of a radio-off condition of the radio resource, the wireless device may identify services supported by each of the first and second SIMs, evaluate criticality of the supported services, determine which of the first and second SIM supports the service having the highest criticality, and prevent the other SIM from registering with its network before the SIM with the service of the highest criticality has successfully registered for service in its selected network.
