METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SENDING FAST NEGATIVE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (NACKS)

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for sending fast negative acknowledgements (NACKs) after a user equipment (UE) tunes back to a first network after tuning away from the first network. The UE may determine that a trigger event has occurred, and in response to the determination, modify a NACK timing configuration from a default configuration. Modifying the NACK timing configuration may include using an aggressive NACK timing configuration for a configurable period of time, in response to detecting a trigger event. The trigger event may include detecting missed packets after a tune back, unavailability of sufficient memory to hold packets until a gap created by missed packets may be filled, or tuning back to a network.
