Abstract: This disclosure relates to dynamic baseband management for a wireless device. The wireless device may be an accessory device. The accessory device may determine whether it has a short-range wireless communication link with a companion device. The accessory device may determine one or more proximity metrics relating to the companion device. The accessory device may further determine one or more metrics associated with user settings, user activity and/or application activity at the wireless device. The wireless device may select a (e.g., full, limited, or off) baseband operating mode based on any or all of these considerations.

Abstract: System and methods for providing special radio provisions to link budget limited devices. Before establishing a cellular connection with a cellular network, a user equipment device (UE), such as a link budget limited UE, may negotiate the special radio provisions with the network by presenting requested profile information to the network, and receiving back approved profile information from the network. The UE may perform these communications either directly, via a non-cellular communication connection with the network, or indirectly, via a companion or proxy device. When the UE initiates a cellular connection with the network, both entities may use information specified in the approved profile information, which may improve efficiency of the connection. In some scenarios, the approved profile information may identify a class of devices to which the UE belongs. The approved profile information may also be used in establishing connections with other devices of the same class.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to support emergency services through untrusted wireless networks by a user equipment (UE) are disclosed. The UE detects a request for emergency services to be provided via an untrusted wireless network. The UE de-registers from any non-emergency services and releases any existing PDN connections. The UE sends a request for emergency services to an evolved packet data gateway (ePDG) at an Internet Protocol (IP) address obtained from a table or from a domain name system (DNS) server. The request includes an indication for emergency services using a configuration attribute assigned to indicate emergency services. The UE receives from the ePDG an indication of support for emergency services in a reply to the request.

Abstract: A network controller, a user equipment (UE) device, and associated methods for conducting intelligent enhanced multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS). A network controller receives user preference information and location information from a plurality of UEs. The network controller selects one or more data packages to transmit using eMBMS in one or more broadcast regions based on the user preference information and the location information. The one or more data packages may comprise an updated machine learning model in a distributed learning application. The network controller provides an indication to a remote device to broadcast the one or more data packages in the respective one or more broadcast regions using eMBMS.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless connection management for an accessory device. A companion device and the accessory device may establish a wireless link. The companion device may associate with a Wi-Fi access point. The companion device may determine whether the Wi-Fi access point supports access by the accessory device to a wide area network. The companion device may determine whether to provide association information for the Wi-Fi access point to the accessory device based at least in part on whether the Wi-Fi access point supports access by the accessory device to the wide area network. The companion device may monitor whether the Wi-Fi access point continues to support access by the accessory device to the wide area network, and may indicate to the accessory device to disassociate with the Wi-Fi access point if the Wi-Fi access point no longer supports access by the accessory device to the wide area network.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to a mobile device that communicates over short-range networks and long-range networks. In various embodiments, a mobile device includes one or more radios configured to communicate using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) including a cellular RAT and a short-range RAT. The mobile device may establish a first connection and a second connection with a network such that the first connection uses the short-range RAT and the second connection uses the cellular RAT. The mobile may collect information about the second connection and communicate the collected information to the network over the first connection. In some embodiments, the information includes a base station identifier, an MCC, an MNC, the cellular RAT and a cellular information age indicating the time since the information about the second connection was collected by the UE.

Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a cellular network which facilitates transmission of messages, such as SMS or MMS messages, to/from respective user equipment (UE) devices of a user. Each of the UE devices may provide a relative priority value indicating a priority for receipt of messages relative to the other UE devices associated with the user. When a message intended for the user is received at the cellular network, the priority information associated with each of the user's at least two UE devices may be retrieved. The message may then be selectively delivered (by the cellular network) to one of the first UE device or the second UE device based on the relative values of the first priority value and the second priority value. If a delivery attempt fails to the highest priority device, the cellular network may attempt to deliver the message to the second highest priority UE device.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to providing local address information while roaming. A wireless device may connect to a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point in a roaming location. The wireless device may communicate with one or more servers of a home network via the WLAN access point. The wireless device may provide a local address of the wireless device to the home network in one or more messages related to a service. The home network may be configured to determine a location of the wireless device based on the local address and determine whether to provide the service based on the location of the wireless device. In response to the home network determining to provide the service based on the location of the wireless device, the wireless device may perform the service using the home network via the WLAN access point.
