Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for resolving paging collisions, for example, for a UE camped on multiple cells. In some cases, a UE detects, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped, signals an indication of the conflict to at least one of the cells, and receives information regarding a new paging configuration designed to resolve the conflict. In some cases, a UE identifies a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, and camps on the identified cell.

Claims (26)

1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

detecting, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped;

identifying a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, wherein the different cell is identified based on reading broadcast system information only from cells that are not subject to the conflict during a cell reselection procedure; and

camping on the identified cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reading the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict during cell reselection.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reading the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict prior to performing cell reselection.

4. An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

memory having executable instructions stored thereon; and

one or more processors configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the apparatus to:

detect, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped;

identify a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, wherein the different cell is identified based on reading system information only from cells that are not subject to the conflict during a cell reselection procedure; and

camp on the identified cell.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the apparatus to read the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict during cell reselection.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to cause the apparatus to read the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict prior to performing cell reselection.

7. An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

means for detecting, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped;

means for identifying a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, wherein the different cell is identified based on reading system information only from cells that are not subject to the conflict during a cell reselection procedure; and

means for camping on the identified cell.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising means for reading broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict during cell reselection.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising means for reading the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict prior to performing cell reselection.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors, causes a user equipment (UE) to perform an operation comprising:

detecting, based on paging configurations, a conflict between configured paging occasions of at least two cells on which the UE is camped;

identifying a different cell to camp on that is not subject to the conflict, wherein the different cell is not as good a candidate for cell selection as one of the conflicting cells in terms of cell selection criteria, wherein the different cell is identified based on reading system information only from cells that are not subject to the conflict during a cell reselection procedure; and

camping on the identified cell.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising reading the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict during cell reselection.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 10 , further comprising reading the broadcast system information for the cells not subject to the conflict prior to performing cell reselection.
