Abstract
Various embodiments implemented on a mobile communication device provide methods for skipping power measurements of frequency bands included in a list of frequency bands received from a first subscription's network to conserve power and to increase the likelihood of avoiding a coexistence event between a first subscription and a second subscription. Specifically, a processor of the mobile communication device may order the list of frequency bands such that non-interfering frequency bands are ordered before interfering frequency bands. The processor may then take power measurements of frequency bands in the list, in order, until the processor determines that a power measurement has satisfied a minimum power threshold. In response to such a determination, the device processor may report the power measurement that satisfies the minimum power threshold to the first subscription's network and may not take any more power measurements of the remaining frequency bands in the list.
