    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage communication sessions to handover between a direct connection at a secondary wireless device and a relayed connection to the secondary wireless device via a primary wireless device. A connection manager of a secondary wireless device can trigger transfer of a communication session based on measurements of performance metrics for the communication session. Upon detection of performance degradation in a local connection or a backhaul connection or both, the connection manager of the secondary wireless device can determine proximity of and/or capabilities for connections of the primary wireless device and instigate transfer of the communication session between different connection types, such as between a direct connection and a relayed connection. The transfer of the communication session can occur without user intervention or in response to input from the user without interrupting or reestablishing the communication session.

    Abstract: A client device and a host device may create a local connection for providing wide area network access, such as Internet access, to the client device. In some embodiments, the client device may have limited network capabilities and may not be able to access the Internet without the host device. The client device may provide its speed and direction in a message to potential host devices. A host device may calculate a suitability metric, based on the speed and direction of the client as well as connection properties of the networks, which indicates an ability for the host device to connect the client device to the Internet. The host device may provide the suitablity metric within a connection reqeust to the client device. Based on the suitabiltiy metric and/or other factors, the client device and the host device may establish the local connection.

    Abstract translation: 客户端设备和主机设备可以创建用于向客户端设备提供诸如因特网接入的广域网访问的本地连接。 在一些实施例中,客户端设备可能具有有限的网络能力,并且可能无法在没有主机设备的情况下访问因特网。 客户端设备可以向潜在的主机设备提供其在消息中的速度和方向。 主机设备可以基于客户端的速度和方向以及网络的连接属性来计算适合性度量,其指示主机设备将客户端设备连接到因特网的能力。 主机设备可以在与客户端设备之间的连接中提供适当度量。 基于适当的度量和/或其他因素,客户端设备和主机设备可以建立本地连接。

    Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communications in conjunction with carrier aggregation. A base station (BS) may coordinate D2D communication between two wireless user equipment (UE) devices. A primary cell may be configured for communicating with each of the UEs. A secondary cell may be configured for D2D communication between the two UEs. The primary cell and the secondary cell may utilize different component carriers. Additionally, cross-carrier scheduling may be used, such that at least some control information for the secondary cell is communicated via the primary cell.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods to enhance radio link performance in a multi-carrier environment. A method may comprise sending, by an upper level layer of a wireless device, user data in a packet for transmission, wherein the packet includes an indication of a level of priority of the packet, receiving, by a media access control ("MAC") layer of the wireless device, the packet for transmission including the indication of the level of priority provided by the upper level layer, identifying, by the MAC layer, a reliability of each of a plurality of component carriers, and selecting, by the MAC layer, one of the component carriers on which to transmit the packet, wherein the selecting is based on the level of priority of the packet and the reliability of the one of the component carriers.
