Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for decreasing user plane latency in a wireless communication system 200-b. This may include routing a portion of bearer traffic to or from a user equipment (UE) 115-a, 115-b, 115-c through a local or serving gateway (LGW) 205-a, 205-b, or within or between base stations 105-a, 105-b, rather than via the core network 130-b. In some examples, techniques for selected internet protocol flow ultra-low latency (SIPFULL) for systems in which users may have subscribed to enhanced services may be employed. The network may, for instance, authorize SIPFULL functionalities for UEs per access point name (APN) based on individual services subscribed by the UE to improve overall quality of service (QoS). In some examples, a UEs latency requirements or SIPFULL authorizations may affect mobility operations. A network entity, such as the base station 105-b, LGW 205-b, or an entity within the EPC 130-b, determines a latency mode of a UE 115 (e.g.,UE 115-a). Several base stations 105-a and 105-b may be configured with collocated LGWs 205-a, 205-b. Irrespective of the location of an LGW 205, SIPFULL is enabled based on the determined latency mode of the UE 115-a. The network entity selects an LGW for low latency IP packet routing for example based on the APN or QoS. Alternatively, traffic may be routed within a common base station 105 or a common serving gateway 210 or over a direct backhaul (X2) link between the base stations 105-a and 105-b.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes determining that a first node associated with a first operator in a deployment of operators has emergency data to transmit over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band and transmitting, by the first node, a signal over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The signal may indicate that the first node has emergency data to transmit. A second method includes receiving, at a first base station associated with a first operator in a deployment of operators, an uplink transmission from a user equipment (UE) indicating that the UE has emergency uplink data to transmit over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band and transmitting, by the first base station, an indication to a second base station that the UE has emergency uplink data to transmit over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band.
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:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives system information including a trigger message and additional information. In addition, the UE enables an application and provides the additional information to the application based on the trigger message. The additional information may include location information. The UE may display map-related information associated with the location information. The UE may receive previous system information prior to receiving the system information. The previous system information may include an alert message, and the location information may be associated with the alert message. The previous system information may include an MID within a predetermined set of MIDs. The system information may include an MID different from the predetermined set of MIDs. The map-related information may indicate a geographic area associated with the location information in the system information.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE determines whether the UE is located within a sub-region of an MBSFN area based on one or more parameters. The UE receives based on the determination a service over broadcast in the sub-region of the MBSFN area or over unicast outside the sub-region. In an aspect, the MBSFN area may be smaller than a unicast area. In an aspect, adaptive retransmission with a group NACK approach may be used to improve an SNR and reliability.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. In a first configuration, a UE monitors MSI based on a first MSP. The UE receives an MBMS service. The MBMS service is a group communication associated with low latency. Information associated with the MBMS service is included in the MSI. The UE monitors the MSI based on a second MSP less than the first MSP upon receiving the MBMS service. In a second configuration, a UE refrains from monitoring MSI for a PMCH when not receiving an MBMS service on the PMCH. The UE receives an initial part of a group communication associated with low latency via a unicast bearer. The group communication is associated with a particular PMCH. The UE monitors the MSI for the particular PMCH upon receiving the group communication via the unicast bearer.
Abstract:
A method, a user equipment (UE), and a computer program product for maintaining continuity of evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (e MBMS) broadcast service at the user equipment (UE) are disclosed. The UE detects insufficient eMBMS coverage at the UE, where the UE is receiving eMBMS broadcast content from a network within an MFSFN 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, and determines whether to switch from broadcast to unicast for continued reception of the eMBMS broadcast content based on the at least one MBSFN threshold and the at least one MBSFN measurement.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service ("eMBMS") network sharing, content sharing, and roaming. The various embodiments may enable Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service ("MBMS") service continuity across different public land mobile networks ("PLMNs") by associating the same MBMS services providing identical content in different PLMNs with each other. In an embodiment, service discovery may be provisioned to a receiver device when or after the receiver device is attached to a PLMN. In an embodiment, content sharing across different PLMNs may be supported by a user service description indicating the different temporary mobile group identifiers ("TMGIs") of the same service across different PLMNs. In another embodiment, content sharing across different PLMNs may be supported by a user service description indicating the same TMGI for the same service across different PLMNs. In an embodiment, MBMS keys may be shared across PLMNs.
Abstract:
A UE may camp on a femto cell in an idle mode and determine whether the UE has an interest in receiving an MBMS service from an MBMS cell. When the UE has the interest in receiving the MBMS service, the UE adjusts a priority of the MBMS cell on which the MBMS service is provided or a priority of the femto cell such that the priority of the MBMS cell is higher than the priority of the femto cell. Otherwise, the UE refrains from adjusting the priority of the MBMS cell or the priority of the femto cell.
