Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) based concurrent scan of neighbor cells

Methods, systems, and devices are described for concurrently performing handoff-related measurements for neighbor cells using multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna resources. In one example, a mobile device is in communication with a serving cell. Handoff-related measurements of first wireless signals from a first neighbor cell are performed. The first wireless signals are received at first MIMO antenna resources of a device. Handoff-related measurements of second wireless signals from a second neighbor cell are performed, as well. The second wireless signals are received at second MIMO antenna resources concurrently with the first wireless signals received at the first MIMO antenna resources. The first handoff-related measurements and the second handoff-related measurements may be performed during a scan interval. A type of handoff-related measurement to perform may be determined based on a determined length of the scan interval.

Examples are described for integrating interface functionality with other experiences. For example, if a user is interested in a particular item of scheduled or on-demand content (e.g., a television series episode), the user may also be interested in a web page devoted to the television series and/or other extras such as cast interviews, news, related theme apps, and the like. These types of experiences may be integrated into an interface by presenting the experiences as supplemental services that may be presented and/or selected.

Embodiments of this application disclose a data processing method for avoiding a packet loss and for improving user experience. The method in the embodiments includes: sending, by a cable modem termination system CMTS, a dynamic bonding change (DBC) request to a cable modem (CM), where the DBC request is used to request the CM to change a modulation profile group corresponding to the downstream channel from a first profile group to a second profile group. The first profile group is a profile group currently supported by the CM, and at least one target profile in the second profile group is not in the first profile group. The method further includes sending, by the CMTS, a first downstream data packet to the CM by using any profile in the first profile group, and sending a second downstream data packet to the CM by using the target profile.
