Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a communication device, which has a plurality of subscriptions, maintains first state parameter information for one or more subscriptions of the plurality of subscriptions to indicate whether a call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions. The communication device receives, for a further subscription of the plurality of subscriptions, a request to measure a channel condition of one or more signals. The communication device responds to the request to measure the channel condition of the one or more signals based on a determination that the first state parameter information for the one or more subscriptions indicates no call is ongoing for each subscription of the one or more subscriptions.

Methods and devices for providing normal and enhanced coverage cell selection and reselection capabilities, including the acquisition and monitoring of enhanced coverage information while camped on a cell in normal coverage, implementation of a threshold for a cell selection criteria prior to transitioning between normal and enhanced coverage while camped on a cell, and introduction of priority lists for cell reselection.

Devices and methods for normal and enhanced coverage compatibility

A multi-SIM wireless device checks whether each of the (e.g., two) SIMs has received sub-frames in successive intervals prior to a current interval. If such a condition is satisfied by all the SIMs, the wireless device allocates several successive (transmit) intervals to a first SIM before allocating next successive (transmit) intervals to another SIM. If such a condition is not satisfied, the sub-intervals may be allocated according to any other approach (i.e., not constrained by the requirement of successive sets of transmit intervals to the two SIMs) as suited for the specific situation. The allocated sub-frame intervals are used to send the acknowledgements of the previously received sub-frames.

Scheduling acknowledgements to received sub-frames in a multi-sim user equipment using a shared transmit chain when receiving data continuously on each sim

Methods and apparatus for processing requests for signal quality measurement are provided herein. According to at least one aspect, a multi-subscription user equipment (UE) receives, for a second subscription, a first request to measure signal quality at a location of the UE. The UE checks whether a call is ongoing for a first subscription. The UE sends a response to the first request only if there is no call ongoing for the first subscription.

Processing requests for measurement of signal quality at the location of a user equipment with multiple SIMs or subscriptions

A mobile terminal device may include a first SIM, a second SIM, a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit configured to interact with the radio processing circuit. The baseband processing circuit may be configured to identify one or more first measurement targets of a first radio measurement of the first SIM, identify one or more common measurement results from one or more measurement results of a second radio measurement of the second SIM, wherein at least one of the one or more common measurement results corresponds to a measurement target of the one or more first measurement targets of the first radio measurement, provide the one or more common measurement results to the first radio measurement as one or more measurement results of the first radio measurement, and perform mobility operations with the one or more measurement results of the first radio measurement or the one or more measurement results of the second radio measurement.

Methods for performing radio measurements and mobile terminal devices

A method and device for decreasing the frequency of tracking area update (TAU) procedures triggered by cell reselections in LTE idle mode without sacrificing paging reception success rate consisting of identifying a frequency of a camped cell in LTE idle mode of a first SIM; assigning the current frequency a highest priority irrespective of the system information blocks (SIBs) broadcast by the network; and remaining on the current frequency until: a cell selection reception level value of the camped cell is less than a first predetermined threshold value or a cell selection quality value of the camped cell is less than a second predetermined threshold value.

Communication device and a method for operating a communication device

A mobile communications device and a method for controlling a mobile communications device including a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit, the mobile communications device configured to: receive a page, obtain message identification information from the page, process the obtained message identification information, and control an ongoing network connection resulting from the processed message identification information.
