发明名称 User Equipment with Improved Tune-Away Performance During Measurement
摘要 Operating a user equipment (UE) which comprises a first radio that is configured to operate according to a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. The UE may receive a request to perform a tune away operation for the second RAT while performing measurement for the first RAT (e.g., intra-cell measurement, inter-cell measurement, and/or inter-RAT measurement). Instead of waiting to complete the measurement of the first RAT, the UE may tune the radio to a frequency of the second RAT to perform the tune away operation (e.g., page decoding) for the second RAT. After completing the tune away operation of the second RAT, the UE may tune the radio back to a frequency corresponding to the first RAT in order to continue the measurement operations of the first RAT.

主权项 1. An apparatus, comprising: a processing element, wherein the processing element is configured to operate with a first radio of a user equipment (UE), wherein the first radio is configured to perform communication using a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, wherein the processing element and the first radio are configured to: perform communication with a first base station of the first RAT at a first frequency of the first RAT, wherein upcoming tune-away operations at a second frequency of the first RAT is scheduled;receive a request for performing tune-away operations at a frequency of the second RAT while the UE is operating at the first frequency of the first RAT, wherein the request for the tune-away to the frequency of the second RAT occurs prior to start of the upcoming tune-away operations at the second frequency of the first RAT and conflicts with the upcoming tune-away operations at the second frequency of the first RAT;perform the tune-away operations at the frequency of the second RAT, wherein said performing the tune-away operations at the frequency of the second RAT operates to delay the upcoming tune-away of the first RAT;after completion of the tune-away operations to the frequency of the second RAT, tune the first radio directly to the second frequency of the first RAT to perform the tune-away operations at the second frequency of the first RAT, wherein said tuning the first radio directly to the second frequency of the first RAT does not involve tuning the first radio back to the first frequency of the first RAT between said completion of the tune-away operations at the frequency of the second RAT and said tuning the first radio to the second frequency of the first RAT; andperform the tune-away operations of the first RAT at the second frequency of the first RAT.
