Transmit filter bypass mode scanning

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory storing computer executable code;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the memory and configured to execute the code to:
• determine that a user equipment (UE) is not receiving wireless signals for a second radio access technology that utilizes a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band for a first radio access technology;
• place a transmitter of the UE in a filter bypass mode in which a transmit filter is bypassed by a transmit signal for the first radio access technology in response to the determining;
• receive one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration parameters for the first radio access technology;
• determine that the UE is not scheduled on the first radio access technology during a DRX off period based on at least the one or more DRX configuration parameters;
• and
• scan, by a receiver for the second radio access technology, while in the filter bypass mode, the second frequency band for a signal for the second radio access technology during the DRX off period for the first radio access technology.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining that a user equipment (UE) is not receiving wireless signals for a second radio access technology that utilizes a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band for a first radio access technology;
• means for placing a transmitter of the UE in a filter bypass mode in which a transmit filter is bypassed by a transmit signal for the first radio access technology in response to the determining;
• means for receiving one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration parameters for the first radio access technology indicating a DRX off period;
• and
• means for scanning, by a receiver for the second radio access technology during the DRX off period, while in the filter bypass mode, the second frequency band for a signal for the second radio access technology between scheduled transmissions for the first radio access technology.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, the code when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• determine that a user equipment (UE) is not receiving wireless signals for a second radio access technology that utilizes a second frequency band adjacent to a first frequency band for a first radio access technology;
• place a transmitter of the UE in a filter bypass mode in which a transmit signal bypasses a transmit filter for the first radio access technology in response to the determining;
• receive one or more discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration parameters for the first radio access technology;
• determine that the UE is not scheduled on the first radio access technology during a DRX off period based on at least the one or more DRX configuration parameters;
• and
• scan, by a receiver for the second radio access technology, while in the filter bypass mode, the second frequency band for a signal for the second radio access technology during the DRX off period for the first radio access technology.
