Managing performance of a small cell search function in a multi-subscription multi-standby communication device

摘要

Embodiments include systems and methods for managing performance of a small cell search function during an active communication session via a first subscription in a multi-subscription multi-standby communication device. A device processor may perform a first tune away to a second subscription to receive first small cell information, and may tune back to the first subscription after receiving the first small cell information to resume the active communication session. The device processor may perform a second tune away to the second subscription to receive second small cell information, and may tune back to the first subscription after receiving the second small cell information to resume the active communication session. The device processor may select one of the first small cell and the second small cell for cell reselection based on the first small cell information and the second small cell information.

主权项

1. A method for managing performance of a small cell search function during an active communication session via a first subscription in a multi-subscription multi-standby communication device, comprising:
performing a first tune away to a second subscription to receive first small cell information from a first small cell; tuning back to the first subscription after receiving the first small cell information on the second subscription to resume the active communication session on the first subscription; initializing a timer using a timer duration after resuming the active communication session on the first subscription; determining whether the timer has elapsed; performing a second tune away to the second subscription to receive second small cell information from a second small cell in response to determining that the timer duration has elapsed; tuning back to the first subscription after receiving the second small cell information to resume the active communication session; and selecting one of the first small cell and the second small cell for cell reselection based on the first small cell information and the second small cell information.
