Abstract
A user equipment (UE) determines a tune-away gap in which the UE performs a tune-away from a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second RAT on a single radio frequency (RF) chain, and transmits an intended-false buffer status report (BSR) to modify a duration of the determined tune-away gap. The intended-false BSR indicates an intended-false value of uplink data pending in a buffer to be transmitted on the first RAT, so that an uplink grant for uplink data transmissions on the first RAT to be received at the UE is modified.
