Abstract:
Techniques for handover into eIMTA enabled cells are disclosed. In an aspect, a target cell reconfigures RRC connection with a UE after completed handover to enable eIMTA and/or CoMP for the UE. In another aspect, a target cell includes eIMTA configuration information in a handover command to a UE. In another aspect, the target cell may estimate a virtual cell identity to generate the eIMTA configuration information and delay scheduling transmissions to the UE by flexible subframes until after handover is complete and the correct eIMTA configuration information confirmed by measurement or else corrected by RRC connection reconfiguration. In other aspects, the target cell may determine the correct virtual cell identity before handover, either by measuring SRS of the UE, or by receiving information in a handover request indicating results of CSI-RS measurement, by the UE, of virtual cells of the target cell.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE that receives a multicast/broadcast data transmission via a group bearer. The UE receives a paging message including a type of the group bearer. In addition, the UE determines whether to remain in or change to an RRC idle mode or an RRC connected mode based on the type of the group bearer received in the paging message.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for power management in a wireless communication network include identifying a user equipment (UE) configuration as a stationary extra-long battery device configuration. Further, the methods and apparatus include receiving a measurement threshold adjustment message. Moreover, the methods and apparatus include adjusting an idle mode cell measurement threshold based on the measurement threshold adjustment message.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which a user equipment performs an inter-radio access technology (RAT) mobility procedure from a first network to a second network while idle mode signaling reduction (ISR) is active, locally deactivates ISR in connection with completion of the inter-RAT mobility procedure, and initiates a location management procedure in the second network. Depending on the respective type of the first and second network, and the connection state of the UE with respect to the first network, the mobility procedure may be performed in response to a mobility command received from the first network, or in response to a mobility condition of the first network as detected by the UE.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus includes an user equipment which is configured to measure Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) metrics, to measure Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics, to generate correlation information of at least one of the MDT metrics and at least one of the QoE metrics, and to report the correlation information.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for caching content at a network edge and providing the cached content to requesting UEs. An example method generally includes receiving, from a first UE, a request for content from a remote source, retrieving the content from the remote source and providing the content to the first UE, storing at least a portion of the content in a local cache at the base station, receiving a request for the content from at least a second UE, and retrieving the content from the local cache and providing the content to the at least the second UE.
Abstract:
A network reserves a plurality of temporary mobile group identities (TMGIs). For each of the plurality of reserved TMGIs, the network establishes an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) session in at least one preconfigured multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) area. The network receives a request to form an adhoc group communications service enabler (GCSE) group including a plurality of target UEs; an assigns one of the plurality of TMGIs to the adhoc GCSE group.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE that performs a PTT/PTX call setup for communication via MBMS. In a first configuration, the UE sets up a unicast bearer with an eNB, and sends group call setup signaling to the eNB while setting up the unicast bearer. In a second configuration, the UE sets up a unicast bearer with an eNB, and receives group call setup signaling from the eNB while setting up the unicast bearer. In a third configuration, the UE receives a group page while in an RRC idle state, and receives group call setup signaling based on information in the group page.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for discontinuous transmission and/or discontinuous reception in time division duplex (TDD) systems that may have data transmission formats dynamically reconfigured. An initial uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration for TDD communication between an eNB and user equipment (UE) may be established. This initial UL-DL configuration may be reconfigured to a different UL-DL configuration for one or more UEs in communication with the eNB. When a UE switches to discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, it may monitor control information from the eNB during DRX on periods, a frequency of the DRX on periods based on a reference UL-DL configuration irrespective of any reconfiguration of UL-DL configuration for a particular UE. In some aspects, a UE that is operating in a UL-DL reconfiguration mode may, upon entering DRX mode, autonomously discontinue operating in the UL-DL re-configuration mode.
