Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate avoidance of duplicative resource allocation and/or erroneous service charges via unambiguously indicating an entity responsible for quality of service (QoS) initiation. In one example, an indication is provided to a mobile device to indicate a preference for network-initiated QoS or a preference for device -initiated QoS. QoS for a data flow can be established in accordance with the indication. For instance, the mobile device initiates QoS when the indication specifies a preference for device-initiated QoS while a network establishes QoS when the indication specifies a preference for network-initiated QoS.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate improved multi-mode system selection in a wireless communication system. As described herein, various techniques can be utilized to synthesize system databases corresponding to disparate groups of radio access technologies (RATs), such as a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list and/or a Preferred Roaming List (PRL), with one or more overlay databases and associated location information to generate a multi-mode list of preferred systems. As described herein, a preferred system listing can be constructed to leverage fine granularity of information in one or more databases while still supporting databases with coarser information. Techniques are additionally described herein for augmenting and/or grouping one or more overlay databases to facilitate a higher available granularity of information for various RATs than that provided in system databases corresponding to the RATs. Techniques are additionally provided for automated generation of preferred system listing based on changes to observed location.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which user equipment performs a circuit-switched fallback procedure to connect to a CDMA2000 network. The CDMA2000 network may be selected by the UE or by the network. A plurality of PLMN IDs may be maintained, where the IDs relate to a network that includes an LTE RAN. Each PLMN ID may be associated with a CDMA2000 network sharing the LTE RAN. A CDMA2000 network may be selected for circuit-switched fallback of a user equipment operating in the LTE RAN. The user equipment may be configured to perform a circuit-switched fallback procedure on the selected CDMA2000 network. The CDMA2000 network may be selected by a mobility management entity responsive to a PLMN selection procedure. The PLMN selection procedure may be performed when the UE reports multiple-operator capability.
Abstract:
A method for scanning for wireless systems is described. The method includes camping on a first system of a first system type. The method also includes maintaining a second system type not available list. The method additionally includes maintaining a second system type available list. The method further includes detecting a scan trigger. The method also includes determining whether the first system is in the second system type not available list. The method additionally includes scanning for second system type systems based on a timer.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving inter-network mobility performance in multiple network wireless communication systems by using channel avoidance information from a first network using a first radio access technology (RAT) to modify inter-RAT behavior of a second network using a second RAT. In some embodiments, the second network queries the first network for channel avoidance information and applies the channel avoidance information in suppressing inter-RAT channel measurements, avoiding inter-RAT redirection, and/or avoiding inter-RAT reselection. In embodiments, inter-RAT channel measurement suppression, inter-RAT redirection avoidance, and/or inter-RAT reselection avoidance is performed by the mobile device. In other embodiments, channel avoidance information of the first network may be communicated to other network entities of the second network and one or more of these entities may modify various inter-RAT behaviors.
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:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided where, at a first wireless node, a weighted average of a frame loss rate is determined for a plurality of frames transmitted from a second wireless node using a first codec; feedback is transmitted to the second wireless node based at least in part on the frame loss rate; and one or more frames are received from the second wireless node using a second codec, responsive to transmitting the feedback. Also, transmitting from a first wireless node a plurality of frames to a second wireless node using a first codec; receiving frame loss rate information from the second wireless node responsive to the transmitting; selecting a second codec, based at least in part on the frame loss rate information, and transmitting a second plurality of frames to the second wireless node using the second codec.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to avoiding a better system reselection (BSR) procedure when no 3GPP (e.g., LTE based) network is available. In one example, a network entity may be equipped to determine that a geographic region (GEO) includes one or more cells that provide 3GPP coverage, and provision multi-mode system selection (MMSS) files to distinguish the GEO than includes one or more cells that support 3GPP coverage from one or more GEOs that do not include 3GPP coverage. Further, a user equipment (UE) may be equipped to detect initiation of a BSR procedure for a multimode UE currently being served by a 3GPP2 based network, and determine whether to scan for a 3GPP based network based on one or more MMSS files.
