20150282091 | Method for DSDS/DSDA Idle Power Optimization by Adaptive RF Power Retention and Delta Programming - Various embodiments in the disclosure provide methods implemented by a processor executing on a mobile communication device to dynamically determining whether the power saved by powering down the RF chain between the end of the last reception activities and the beginning of the next reception activities will exceed the power expended to reinitialize the RF chain's components and registers for the next reception activities. Based on this determination, the device processor may configure the RF chain either to power down fully, as in conventional implementations, or to enter a low-power mode in which power is maintained to the power rails supplying the memory registers storing RF communication data, thereby avoiding the power surge of restarting the registers and part of the power drain associated with writing the communication data back into the registers. In some embodiments, the mobile communication device may be a multi-SIM device. | 10-01-2015 |

20110221638 | INTERNAL LC ANTENNA FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE - An L-shape Corner (LC) Antenna uses an L shaped antenna on the corner of a circuit board of a wireless device. The low band element is positioned and designed to be resonate along the long edge of the adjacent ground plane while the high band element (H) is positioned and designed to be resonate along the short edge of the adjacent ground plane. The PCB (printed circuit board) of the wireless device that the antenna is integrated into can provide the ground plane function. The single antenna element provides two separate radiating sections that allow for optimization of low and high band resonances that are often required to service the cellular and other wireless frequency bands. The two radiating sections of the antenna provide different polarizations for the two resonances that assist in de-coupling the two resonances from each other. Both antenna elements can be an Isolated Magnetic Dipole (IMD) antenna; conversely, one of the two antenna elements can be an IMD element. | 09-15-2011 |

20110134836 | ANNOUNCING A COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - An access network (AN) receives a call announcement message for transmission to an access terminal (AT). The AN initiates, in response to the received call announcement message, a physical-layer synchronization procedure for at least one channel between the AN and the AT, the physical-layer synchronization procedure associated with a transition of the access terminal to a dedicated channel state. The AN performs the initiation by sending a message to the AT. In response to the message, the AT monitors a downlink channel for receipt of the call announcement message. The AN then transmits the call announcement message on the downlink channel to the access terminal, and the AT receives the call announcement message due to the monitoring. The call announcement message is transmitted either (i) before the physical layer synchronization procedure completes or (ii) before a transmission of a reconfiguration complete message indicating completion of dedicated channel state transition. | 06-09-2011 |

The access network determines to establish an aggressive paging cycle of a downlink channel for the UE based in part upon receiving a message (e.g., which can be different than the data session activation request message) that conveys the indication of the association to the access network. The access network sends at least one instruction for facilitating an allocation of the aggressive paging cycle to the UE, and the UE receives the at least one instructions and monitors the downlink channel accordingly. | 06-09-2011 |

The access network receives a registration request for the current multicast communication session from an access terminal, and selectively loads a stored cluster of sectors that supported a previous multicast communication session to the given group. The access network then turns on a multicast flow for the current multicast communication session within each sector of the stored cluster.

Based on the monitored traffic, the access network selectively transitions the UE away from the dedicated-channel state. For example, if traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of a timer, the UE can be permitted to remaining in the dedicated-channel state. Alternatively, if no traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of the timer, the UE can be transitioned away from the dedicated-channel state (e.g., into CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state). | 08-11-2011 |
