Receiving eMBMS on a Single-Radio-Multiple-Standby User Equipment

摘要

Embodiments methods implemented with a server or a processor of a mobile communication device (e.g., a multi-standby communication device) reduce the redundancy information needed to achieve adequate reception service on a first radio access technology (RAT) sharing an RF resource with a second RAT. The device processor may implement at least one tune-away management strategy that mitigates the amount of data for the first RAT that is lost during the tune-away event. Thus, by implementing the one or more tune-away management strategies, the device processor may ensure that less redundancy information overhead is needed to correct or replace lost or partially received data, improving latency, channel usage, and the first RAT's overall reception performance. In some embodiments, a server may implement one or more strategies for including redundancy information into data that is sent to a first RAT to mitigate the negative effects of tune aways on the first RAT.

主权项

1. A method implemented on a mobile communication device for managing tune-away events between a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT, comprising:
determining a start time of a tune-away event from the first RAT to the second RAT that is scheduled to occur next; implementing a tune-away management strategy during the tune-away event in response to determining that the tune-away event has started or is about to start; and resuming normal operations with the first RAT in response to determining that the tune-away event has ended.
