Abstract:
A host device may include a wireless interface for communications, a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and the wireless interface. The host may receive, via the wireless interface, an advertisement message from a client device. The advertisement message may include an identifier associated with the client and a request for communication of data from a cloud-based service. Responsive to the advertisement, the host may send the identifier to the cloud-based service. The host may receive from the cloud-based service, a proxy indication of available data associated with the client. Responsive to receiving the proxy indication of available data, the host may provide, via the wireless interface, a connection request including a client indication of the available data from the cloud-based service to the client. After receiving the available data from the service, the host may send the available data to the client.
Abstract:
Embodiments relate to apparatus, systems, and methods for reception of calls on a mobile device that includes Wi-Fi and cellular radios. The mobile device may be configured to establish communication on a Wi-Fi network with a cellular carrier. The mobile device may further be configured to register a first IP address with an IMS server for the Wi-Fi network communication and register a second IP address with the IMS server for the cellular network communication (or register different ports of a single IP address with Wi-Fi and cellular). Upon occurrence of a mobile terminating call from the cellular carrier, the mobile device may receive an incoming call notification on one or both of the Wi-Fi network using the first IP address and the cellular network using the second IP address.
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein relate to managing access to 5G cellular baseband resources for 5G-capable wireless devices. A wireless device can monitor application workloads by analyzing communication network performance requirements for a given application in-use or launching for future use along with system-level indications of overall device usage, battery level, and mobility status to determine whether access to 5G cellular baseband resources is recommended for an application. A 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is provided for an application indicating a level of bandwidth in current use or expected for future use as well as a confidence metric in the bandwidth level indication. The 5G cellular baseband resource recommendation is used with additional device criteria to determine whether access to one or more 5G radio frequency bands is allowed.
Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method for selecting a connection for a real time application. In one embodiment, a mobile device may communicate with a cellular network over a cellular connection and a WLAN network over a WLAN connection. The mobile device may determine one or more network parameters of the cellular network or the WLAN network, which may affect power consumption of the mobile device. Based on the network parameter(s), the mobile device may select the WLAN connection for use in a real-time application of the mobile device.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to techniques for adaptive C-DRX Management. A wireless device and a cellular base station may establish a cellular link. According to some embodiments, the base station may monitor upcoming traffic with the wireless device. Based at least in part on the upcoming traffic for the wireless device, the base station may provide a command indicating to the wireless device to enter C-DRX. The command may further indicate to the wireless device a number of C-DRX cycles through which to remain in a low power state.
Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed relating to a mobile device that initiates handovers from short-range networks to long-range networks. In various embodiments, a mobile device includes one or more radios that communicate using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) including a cellular RAT and a short-range RAT. In such an embodiment, the mobile device stores an indication that the cellular RAT is a preferred RAT for a communication session. The mobile may establish the communication session using the preferred RAT, and in response to determining that a quality of the preferred RAT fails to satisfy a set of quality criteria, may request that the communication session use the short-range RAT. In some embodiments, the mobile device analyzes average packet error rate for the communication session and in response to the average packet error rate satisfying a threshold, requests that the communication session use the cellular RAT.
Abstract:
A wireless communication system is presented for robust mobility management in a HetNet communication system. A source cell can prepare a macro cell and a target small cell as handover candidates during handover decision making and / or preparation. The mobile device is informed about the prepared macro cell and target small cell using radio resource control (RRC) messaging. After receiving a handover command or detecting radio frequency (RF) loss, the mobile device can try to connect with the target small cell. If the mobile device is unable to connect to the target small cell, the UE can fall back and connect to the macro cell.
Abstract:
A method for redundant transmission of real time data is provided. The method can include an edge node in a wireless network sending a first RTP packet including a first real time data frame to a second edge node. The method can further include the edge node determining that a radio link condition is sufficient to support redundant transmission of real time data to the second edge node. The method can additionally include the edge node, in response to determining that the radio link condition is sufficient to support redundant transmission of real time data, bundling the first real time data frame with a next sequential real time data frame that has not been previously sent to the second edge node in a second RTP packet at a PDCP layer of the edge node; and sending the second RTP packet to the second edge node.
Abstract:
A method for offloading data traffic from a cellular connection to a WLAN connection via a wireless P2P connection is disclosed. The method can include the wireless communication device accessing offloading coordination information from an offload coordination service server, including information about at least one neighboring wireless communication device being within sufficient proximity of the wireless communication device to establish a wireless P2P connection and having access to a WLAN access point; using the offloading coordination information to select a relay device from the at least one neighboring wireless communication device; establishing a wireless P2P connection with the relay device; and offloading data traffic from the cellular connection to the wireless P2P connection so that the data traffic is relayed from the relay device to a network via a WLAN access point accessible to the relay device.
