Abstract:
Various methods for managing TCP communications in a mobile communication device may include determining whether there is an upcoming tune-away from a first RAT on the mobile communication device to a second RAT on the mobile communication device, adding a first timestamp to a TCP packet for transmission before the tune-away begins in response to determining that there is an upcoming tune-away from the first RAT to the second RAT, transmitting the TCP packet to a first network, performing the tune-away from the first RAT to the second RAT, triggering a retransmission time out on the first RAT, receiving a TCP acknowledgement (ACK) from the first network, in which the TCP ACK includes a second timestamp, determining whether the TCP ACK corresponds to the TCP packet, and restoring a prior congestion window value of the first RAT in response to determining that the TCP ACK corresponds to the TCP packet.
Abstract:
In an aspect, a method for a network access node for broadcasting content includes receiving a message from a broadcast coordination entity, the message including information associated with content to be broadcasted to one or more user equipments (UEs), caching the content locally at the network access node, and sending the cached content to the one or more UEs.
Abstract:
A systems, methods, and/or devices for physical layer counting of user equipments (UEs) interested in one or more multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) services, and selecting a bearer based on the physical layer counting. In some examples, a network entity (e.g., a base station), may transmit a counting request to a plurality of UEs on a broadcast channel. The counting request may identify the one or more MBMS services offered by the network. Accordingly, UEs interested in the MBMS service may respond to the counting request over a shared channel or a resource block. Upon receiving the counting response, the base station may estimate the number of interested UEs by measuring the received power-related characteristic of a channel over which the at least one counting response is received
Abstract:
A technique is disclosed to facilitate dual active connections by a UE device using a transmitter. A first connection is established with a first access node for wireless communication services. A first coexistence indicator provided/sent by the UE device to the first access node indicating that the UE device supports multiple concurrent connections. In response to providing the first coexistence indicator, the UE device receives a first transmit pattern and a first receive pattern. The transmitter may be configure to transmit according to the first transmit pattern for the first connection while sharing transmission resources with at least one other connection. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also described and claimed herein.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives a service through an MBMS session. The apparatus receives a first notification of an upcoming suspension of the MBMS session. The apparatus requests establishment of a unicast bearer prior to the upcoming suspension of the MBMS session upon receiving the first notification. The apparatus receives a corresponding unicast version of the service of the MBMS session via unicast when the unicast bearer is established. In an aspect, the first notification may be received during a first MCCH modification period, the corresponding unicast version of the service is received via unicast during a second MCCH modification period. In an aspect, the apparatus may further receive a second notification that the MBMS session is suspended during the second MCCH modification period.
Abstract:
A UE maintains continuity of reception of a service of interest that is available over eMBMS broadcast service and unicast. The UE receives the service of interest over eMBMS from a network within a first MBSFN area supporting the eMBMS broadcast service. The UE receives at least one MBSFN threshold from the network and at least one MBSFN measurement from the network. The UE switches from reception of the eMBMS broadcast from the first MBSFN area to one of reception through unicast or reception through a second MBSFN area supporting the eMBMS broadcast service, based on the at least one MBSFN threshold and the at least one MBSFN measurement.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and a computer program product for ad-hoc group call communications are disclosed. An apparatus reserves a plurality of TMGIs, establishes an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) session for each of the reserved TMGIs in preconfigured MBSFN areas, and upon establishment of an ad-hoc group communications service enabler (GCSE) group including a plurality of associated UEs, assigns an unused one of the plurality of TMGIs to the ad-hoc GCSE group.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receiving information indicating an available MBMS service, a non-backward compatible carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more primary component carrier (PCC) frequencies to which the non-backward compatible carrier frequency is attached. The UE selects a preference for one PCC frequency of the one or more PCC frequencies in order to obtain information for receiving the available MBMS service on the non-backward compatible carrier frequency. The UE receives the available MBMS service on the non- backward compatible carrier frequency based on the obtained information.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for power management in a wireless communication network include identifying a user equipment (UE) configuration as a stationary extra-long battery device configuration, receiving a measurement threshold adjustment message, and adjusting an idle mode cell measurement threshold based on the measurement threshold adjustment message.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are described herein for optimizing wireless communications using radio resource control (RRC) combining. An RRC request message includes a non-access stratum (NAS) service request. An RRC connection setup message can then be provided including a combination of information for configuring the RRC connection.
