Abstract:
Technology for communicating a short message service (SMS) communication in a packet switched (PS) domain of a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node SGSN in a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN). One method comprises receiving, at the SGSN, a request message from a user equipment (UE) indicating that the UE supports PS based SMS and performs a circuit switched (CS) registration only to receive SMS service via a CS domain; and sending, from the CN control node, an accept message to the UE indicating that SMS over a non-access stratum (NAS) is supported by the SGSN.
Abstract:
The apparatus has processors coupled with computer-readable media and executed instructions to send a non-access stratum (NAS) signaling message to a network controller (206), and to determine whether to start a backoff timer with an extended wait time (EWT) value based on whether the NAS signaling message comprises a low-priority indicator. The processors execute the instructions to determine whether the NAS signaling message comprises the low-priority indicator, and to receive the EWT value in a radio resource control (RRC) reject message. The NAS signaling message is a location update request, an attach request, a tracking area update request, and a service request. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for handling wait time in a congested wireless communication network (2) a computer-implemented method for handling wait time in a congested wireless communication network (3) a computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions for handling wait time in a congested wireless communication network.
Abstract:
Embodiments of computer-implemented methods, systems, computing devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for opportunistically transitioning service flows of mobile devices between being direct and indirect. In various embodiments, a proximity between first and second mobile devices that are in wireless communication with each other may be monitored. In various embodiments, a selective transition of a service flow between the first and second mobile devices from being indirect through the radio network access node using a first radio access technology (“RAT”) to being direct using a second RAT may be facilitated, e.g., responsive to a determination that a first criterion has been met. In various embodiments, a selective transition of the service flow from being direct using the second RAT to being indirect using the first RAT may be facilitated, e.g., responsive to a determination that a second criterion has been met.
Abstract:
Techniques for interworking between heterogeneous radios are described. An apparatus may comprise a first radio module operative to establish a first wireless link over a first wireless network with a first network device, a second radio module operative to establish a second wireless link over a second wireless network with a second network device, and a radio control module communicatively coupled to the first and second radio modules. The radio control module may be operative to send preregistration information for a mobile device to the second wireless network when connected to the first wireless network, determine whether to connect to the second wireless network, and establish the second wireless link over the second wireless network with the second network device using the preregistration information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Techniques for wireless network discovery and selection support are described. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved packet core (EPC) node may comprise a processor circuit to implement an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) according to a management object that includes a branch comprising one or more policies to select a wireless local area network (WLAN), the processing circuitry to receive capabilities information and location information for a user equipment (UE) and determine access network information for the UE based on the capabilities information and the location information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a mobile device and method for secure on-line sign-up and provisioning of credentials for Wi-Fi hotspots are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the mobile device may be configured to establish a transport-layer security (TLS) session with a sign-up server through a Wi-Fi Hotspot to receive a certificate of the sign-up server. When the certificate is validated, the mobile device may be configured to exchange device management messages with the sign-up server to sign-up for a Wi-Fi subscription and provisioning of credentials, and retrieve a subscription management object (MO) that includes a reference to the provisioned credentials for storage in a device management tree. The credentials are transferred/provisioned securely to the mobile device. In some embodiments, an OMA-DM protocol may be used. The provisioned credentials may include certificates in the case of certificate-based credentials, machine-generated credentials such as username/password credentials, or SIM-type credentials.
Abstract:
A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications using a machine type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) that communicates monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting messages through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.
Abstract:
The method (600) involves receiving a configuration of discontinuous reception (610) that is levelled with a multi-radio wireless device e.g. cell phone, from an evolved node B. The wireless device is arranged with a set of radio operated transmitter-receivers. The configuration of discontinuous reception is applied (620) to one of the set of radio operated transmitter-receivers. A shift period is selected (630) among a cycle of 2 milliseconds (ms), 5ms, and 8ms for long discontinuous reception cycle. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a multi-radio wireless device (2) a computer readable medium comprising instructions for performing an interference reduction method.
