Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communications, comprising: tuning away from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT during a first downlink time slot of a subframe of the first RAT, a frame boundary of the first RAT being aligned with a frame boundary of the second RAT; obtaining measurements of downlink (DL) transmission from the second RAT including acquiring a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the second RAT; tuning away from the second RAT to the first RAT before a transition from a last uplink time slot of the subframe of the first RAT to a second downlink time slot of the subframe of the first RAT; and acquiring the second RAT based at least in part on the measurements.
