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 method an apparatus and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with enabling communication of small data amounts while maintaining a RRC idle mode of operation for a UE. In an example a UE is equipped to obtain a temporary radio bearer for communication of data that meets one or more criteria for small data transmission over a user plane in a UMTS or LTE based network and transmit the data over the user plane using the temporary radio bearer while maintaining the UE in an RRC idle mode. A UTRAN entity may receive over the temporary radio bearer assignment the data from a UE in an idle mode and send the data to a SGSN using a common small data connection. The SGSN may then send the data to a PGW.
Abstract:
Aspects of radio access technology searching include apparatus and methods for obtaining relative synchronization information between a first radio access technology and a second radio access technology, and determining a time location of a pilot signal of the second radio access technology based on the relative synchronization information. Further aspects include searching for the pilot signal of the second radio access technology using the determined time location. Other aspects further include determining a measurement gap duration and measurement gap location based on the relative synchronization information so as to encompass a pilot of the second radio access technology.
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:
Devices and methods are provided for subscription data optimization in a wireless communication system. In one embodiment, the method may involve receiving an update location request from a mobile entity and forwarding the update location request to a subscriber data repository. The method may involve receiving a profile identifier from the subscriber data repository, the profile identifier corresponding to profile parameters for a subscription service for the mobile entity. The method may also involve accessing a lookup table to determine the profile parameters associated with the profile identifier, and determining whether to authorize the subscription service based at least in part on the profile parameters.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications. The method generally includes attempting, by a machine type communication (MTC) device, an attach procedure in order to detect a triggering request from an MTC server.
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 may be a UE. The UE receiving information indicating an available MBMS service, a non-self-standing carrier frequency on which the available MBMS service is provided, and one or more PCC frequencies to which the non-self-standing 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-self-standing carrier frequency. The UE receives the available MBMS service on the non-self-standing carrier frequency based on the obtained information.
