Abstract:
An apparatus and method comprising determining if the timing of a registration system information (RSI) or a paging occasion occurs first; if the paging occasion occurs first, checking for a page and answering the page on the target cell after collecting system information (SI) if the page exists; or if the timing of the RSI occurs first: reading RSI and obtaining a registration area indicator of the target cell; determining if the registration area indicators of a source cell and of the target cell are the same; if not, determining whether checking the page in the source cell would overlap with receiving SI from the target cell; if overlap, or if same, collect SI and monitor a paging channel in the target cell; or if no overlap, checking for the page in the source cell, and if no page, collect SI and monitor the paging channel in the target cell.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate management of automatic neighbor relation functions in wireless networks. The system can include components and/or devices that ascertain whether or not to add or remove a neighbor relation based on information associated with an operations and management system, wherein the operations and management system dispatches add or remove requests to a base station that establishes, updates, and/or maintains a neighbor relations table and/or set of neighbor relations that includes neighbor relations between cells.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may identify a marking of one or more packets, of a quality of service (QoS) flow, with a transport layer identifier associated with a QoS of the QoS flow, wherein the transport layer identifier persists between a user plane function (UPF) and a user equipment (UE). The network node may provide the one or more packets via one or more tunnels with the QoS of the QoS flow. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for determining whether a user equipment (UE) and a base station of a radio access network (RAN) configured to operate according to compatible variants of a standardized radio access technology (RAT). In some cases, a standard development organization for a geographic territory may modify a standardized RAT in a way that creates a new variant (also referred to as a forked deviation) of the RAT. Depending on what changes are made, the new variant may be compatible or incompatible with the original standardized RAT. This disclosure enables the UE to determine according to which variant of the RAT the RAN is configured to operate and manage connections to the RAN based whether the UE and the RAN are configured to operate according to compatible variants of the RAT.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to allocating power and/or data to uplink channels for wireless communications. The present aspects include determining an initial transmit power for each of a first carrier and a second carrier for a user equipment (UE). The present aspects further include determining that the initial transmit power of the first carrier is less than the initial transmit power of the second carrier. Additionally, the present aspects include allocating a first transmit power to the first carrier prior to allocating a second transmit power to the second carrier based on determining that the initial transmit power of the first carrier is less than the initial transmit power of the second carrier, the first transmit power is greater than the second transmit power.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) offloading through radio access network rules. In one embodiment of a method of wireless communication, a mobile device may determine that Radio Access Network (RAN) assistance information is unavailable, the RAN assistance information including a first set of thresholds for switching a Packet Data Network (PDN) connection of the mobile device from a WLAN to a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN). The mobile device may further access a second set of thresholds based at least in part on the determining, and the mobile device may determine to switch the PDN connection from the WLAN to the WWAN based at least in part on the second set of thresholds.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for power management in a wireless communication network include determining a last packet of data transmitted to a network, sending a state transition indication embedded in the last packet to the network, and adjusting a state of a user equipment (UE) in response to sending the state transition indication embedded in the last packet to the network.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for offloading traffic from a first RAT network (e.g., WWAN) to a second RAT network (e.g., WLAN) are described. In some cases, the first RAT network may broadcast an indication (804, 904) of a level of preference for offloading traffic for one or more application types to the first or second RAT network. A UE may determine (906) which RAT network to use for transmitting data based on this indication and current system conditions (e.g., relative loading of the first and second RAT networks).
Abstract:
A method of random access in wireless communications that includes transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) connection request message, receiving an RRC connection setup message, and transmitting a modified RRC connection setup complete message that does not include at least a portion of a user equipment (UE) capability.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents methods and apparatuses for improved data rates in a wireless communications environment, wherein a user equipment (UE) may receive and transmit signals from a plurality of network entities (NodeBs), which are controlled by separate radio network controllers (RNCs). For example, the disclosure presents a method of wireless communication in a multiflow environment, which includes establishing a first flow between a serving radio network controller (S-RNC) and a first network entity, wherein the S-RNC controls the first network entity. The method also includes establishing a second flow between the S-RNC and a second network entity, which is controlled by a drift radio network controller (D-RNC). Furthermore, the method includes transmitting data to the UE via both the first flow and the second flow.
