20130150032 | Controlled Idle Mode Behavior in User Equipment Supporting Multiple Radio Access Techniques - User equipment includes techniques that may improve operation by selectively controlling access to particular radio access technologies (RATs) for the user equipment while it is operating in certain modes, such as idle mode. Once the user equipment is in a connected mode, and operating with significant uplink and\or downlink traffic activity, inter-RAT procedures can provide the benefits of access to multiple RATs. This technique is useful in many different environments, such as an environment that is predominantly 2G or 3G with 4G hot spot coverage. This technique may also be useful for providing enhanced operations in 2G/3G capable dual SIM user equipment running in a camped mode or other modes. The technique is not limited to 2G/3G/4G or any other particular standards, but may apply to any standards in a sequence of evolving or incrementally improving standards. | 06-13-2013 |
20130150126 | VIRTUAL MODEM SUSPENSION HANDLER IN MULTIPLE SIM USER EQUIPMENT - User equipment with multiple subscriber identity modules (SIMs) includes techniques for intelligently allowing the SIMs to access the radio resources. In one aspect, the techniques determine whether a network signaling criteria is satisfied. When the network signaling criteria is satisfied, the user equipment may communicate a signaling connection release indication to a network controller handling a first SIM network connection. When the network signaling criteria is not satisfied, however, the user equipment may forgo communicating the signaling connection release indication to the network controller handing the first SIM network connection. In either case, the user equipment may locally deactivate the first SIM network connection so that the radio frequency interface may be transitioned to a second SIM. | 06-13-2013 |
