Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE) are provided. The apparatus sends a request to a second UE for establishing a call connection, receives from the second UE an acknowledgment for establishing the call connection, establishes at least one first dedicated bearer between the first UE and a network for communicating media packets with the second UE, sends first dummy data to the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer, receives at least one of second dummy data or a media packet from the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer, and exchanges media packets with the second UE via the established at least one first dedicated bearer after receiving the at least one of the second dummy data or the media packet from the second UE.
Abstract:
Techniques for managing resources on a wireless device are described. In an aspect, congestion of resources on the wireless device may be detected. If any resources are deemed to be congested, then congestion of the congested resources may be relieved by controlling utilization of the congested resources by at least one client. In one design, flow control may be performed for at least one data flow to relieve congestion of the congested resources. A pattern indicative of when to send messages enabling data transmission and when to send messages disabling data transmission may be selected. Messages may then be sent in accordance with the pattern to control transmission of data for the at least one data flow. Another pattern with a higher ON fraction or a lower ON fraction may be selected based on usage of the congested resources.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication by a UE includes receiving an indication information; determining, based on the indication information, whether a connection of the UE is authorized to be offloaded from a first channel to a second channel; determining, when the connection is not authorized to be offloaded, whether there is an ongoing handover procedure to offload the connection of the UE from the first channel to the second channel or whether the indication information is received in a message corresponding to a request to deactivate a default evolved packet system (EPS) bearer of the connection of the UE. The method further includes disregarding the indication information when the connection is not authorized to be offloaded and it is determined that either there is an ongoing handover procedure to offload the connection of the UE from the first channel to the second channel or the message corresponds to a request to deactivate a default EPS bearer of the connection.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication to enable a UE to establish emergency services (e.g., IMS emergency calls) over WLAN (e.g., Wi-Fi) in 3GPP networks. Such mechanisms may help ensure that an ePDG capable of supporting emergency services is selected. Further, such mechanisms may help ensure that an appropriately located ePDG is selected. For example, the selected ePDG may be located in the visiting public land mobile network (VPLMN) for a roaming UE so that IMS emergency calls are routed appropriately. Selection of the ePDG may be under control of the network with which the UE is establishing connectivity for the emergency call, namely the VPLMN, as opposed to the home PLMN (HPLMN), for example. Such mechanisms may rely on knowledge that the connectivity being established is for emergency services, as well as other information regarding the UE, such as a current location of the UE.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to methods and apparatus for utilizing a control protocol to establish multiple packet data network (PDN) connections through a trusted wide area network (TWAN). Techniques are provided for expanding mobile network capacity by offloading traffic from wireless wide area networks (WWAN) to other types of networks, including wireless local area networks (WLAN).
