Abstract:
A method of operating a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and a WTRU configured to receive a radio link control (RLC)/ a medium access control (MAC) header. The header is coded for reduced transmission time interval (RTTI) operation. The header includes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) of an RLC/MAC payload associated with the RLC/MAC header.
Abstract:
A wireless communication method and system for initiating the establishment, modification and termination of broadcast and multicast bearer services using an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS). The system includes an IMS domain, a multimedia broadcast/multicast services (MBMS) application server (AS) and a cellular network. The IMS domain includes an IMS AS, a media resource function control (MRFC) server and a media resource function processor (MRFP). A user equipment (UE) sends a session initiation protocol (SIP) INVITE message to the MRFC server via the cellular network, a proxy call state control function (P-CSCF) of the IMS AS and a serving call state control function (S-CSCF) of the IMS AS, for establishing an IMS-based MBMS session to the MBMS AS. If the UE is allowed to establish the IMS-based MBMS session, the UE receives multimedia support services to establish uplink and downlink connectivity to the MBMS AS.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system including at least one IDDD 802 multi-stack wireless transmt/receive unit (WTRU) (110) and a plurality of technologically diversified acess networks, such as IEEE 802.X networks and Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) networks, that are concurrently deployed. Both the multi-stack WTRU (110) and the technologically diversified networks includ a media indipendent handover (MIH) function. The WTRU is configured to read MIH information transmitted from one of the IEEE 802.X networks, trigger 3GPP authentication and atuhorization procedures based on the MIH information, obtain a local Internet Protocol (IP) address, establish a tunnel to a packet data gateway (PDG) un a 3GPP core network, constructed a care of address (CoA) and register the CoA with a home agent (142) of the WTRU, whereby data destined for the WTRU (110) is routed via the home agent (142) through a new tunnel established between the home agent (142) and a foreign agent (136) based on the CoA. .
Abstract:
Independent delivery services to wireless terminals (41-46) capable of supporting multiple radio interfaces (31-36) is achieved through the employment of a service management center (55). The service management center (55) termines the set of services and parameters based on the capability and service profile of the wireless terminal (41-46).
Abstract:
A method for configuring an interworking wireless local area network (I-WAN) user equipment (UE) (302) to access a third generation partnership project (3GPP) system (306) begins by initiating a connection from a UE (302) to the 3GPP system (306) the initiating step (312) including indicating the UE's interworking protocol capabilities. Authentication and Authorization of the UE connection by the WLAN (304) to the 3GPP system (306) is requested, including indicating the UE's interworking protocol capabilities (314). The 3GPP system (306) determines whether to accept the UE's request, including examining the UE's interworking protocol capabilities (316). An interworking protocol is instantiated at the UE (302), whereby the UE (302) is configured to interwork with the 3GPP (318).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for determining whether attach procedures between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a network should proceed based on whether the internet protocol (IP) version, (i.e., packet data protocol (PDP) type), of the WTRU is compatible with the network. In one embodiment, the WTRU receives a network compatibility message from the network which indicates the network's IP version. If the network's IP version is determined by the WTRU to be compatible, the WTRU and the network proceed with the attach procedures. In another embodiment, the network receives an attach request message from the WTRU which indicates the IP version of the WTRU. If the IP version of the WTRU is determined by the network to be compatible, the network and the WTRU proceed with the attach procedures. For both embodiments, another network is selected if the IP versions of the WTRU and the network are not compatible.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system for supporting multimedia services (MMS) provided to a user of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) which communicates with the wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a third generation partnership program (3GPP) universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), a wireless local area network (WLAN) and an MMS server. The MMS server stores at least one MMS message for the WTRU in a memory until the WTRU retrieves the message. The 3GPP UMTS includes an internet protocol short message gateway (IP-SM-GW) having a short message service (SMS) proxy. The WTRU is registered with the SMS proxy to establish SMS connectivity, and is also registered with the MMS server to establish MMS connectivity. The WTRU is notified when the MMS server receives an MMS message for the WTRU. The WTRU then retrieves the MMS message from the memory of the MMS server.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for handoff between two stations of a wireless local area network/wireless wide area network (WLAN/WWAN) wherein a terminal, communicating with a first station, scans for a second station when its connection with said first station is lost, or for any other reasons, and establishes communication with a second station. The establishment of communication with the second station includes determining that the second station is different from the first station; associating with the second station; forwarding the identity of the first station to the second station; and using the identity of the first station to continue the original session through the second station. The handoff is equally successful when the stations involved in the handoff are both in the same network or wherein the stations are in different networks.
Abstract:
A method for reserving resources for a wireless packet-based session, the method comprising a first user sending a first resource reservation protocol message to a second user via a network comprising a plurality of routers for reserving resources for a packet-based session along a path to the second user; and the first user receiving a second resource reservation protocol message from the second user in response to the first resource reservation protocol message, wherein resources for communication in both directions to and from the second user are reserved by routers along the path as the second resource reservation protocol message traverses the network along the path.
