Abstract:
Un método (1700) para comunicaciones inalámbricas por un equipo de usuario, UE, (120), que comprende: proporcionar (1702), a una red de área local inalámbrica, WLAN, una indicación, cuando el UE decide conectarse a una red de área amplia inalámbrica, WWAN, (400) a través de la red de área local inalámbrica, WLAN, de que el UE es capaz de soportar múltiples conexiones de red de paquetes de datos, PDN, en el que la WLAN es una WLAN de confianza, TWAN, con respecto al operador WWAN; dicho suministro comprende incluir una indicación de un nombre de punto de acceso, APN, y respuesta de una indicación de entrega en un protocolo de autenticación extensible, EAP, para proporcionar la conservación de la IP durante una entrega entre WWAN y TWAN (406), en el que el APN identifica el APN al que UE busca conectarse como primera conexión; recibir un mensaje de solicitud/éxito de EAP desde el TWAN indicando que la TWAN soporta conexiones múltiples PDN con o sin descarta de LAN inalámbrica sin discontinuidad, NSWO; obtener en el UE uno o más identificadores de PDN para identificar un túnel entre el UE y la TWAN que porta un protocolo de control; y utilizar (1704) el protocolo de control portado a través del túnel identificado para las funciones de gestión a través de la TWAN para establecer y gestionar conexiones múltiples PDN a través de la TWAN, en el que cada una de las conexiones múltiples PDN se establece a través de un procedimiento de establecimiento de conectividad PDN respectivo, en el que la indicación del nombre de punto de acceso, APN, y la indicación de entrega están incluidos por el UE en una señalización al TWAN para cada procedimiento de establecimiento de conectividad PDN respectivo.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides a mechanism where a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a neighbor UE of the UE's neighbor UE by utilizing the UE's neighbor UE as a relay for the communication between the UE and the neighbor UE of the UE's neighbor UE. In an aspect, the first UE receives a discovery message from a second UE, the discovery message including information about 1-hop neighbor UEs of the second UE. The first UE determines to communicate with a third UE based on the discovery message, the third UE being one of the 1-hop neighbor UEs of the second UE. The first UE requests the second UE to operate as a relay for communication between the first UE and the third UE. The first UE communicates with the third UE through the second UE.

Abstract:
Methods and systems are described for locating a user of a personal communication device (PCD) at a venue. A method may include: receiving a request to determine a location of the PCD from the PCD; receiving information corresponding to a signal measurement regarding a signal received by at least one access point at the venue from the PCD; and determining the location of the PCD based at least in part on the received information.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for smooth transition between broadcast/multicast transmission and unicast transmission. A method for managing unicast and multicast services switching in a multi-band/multi-frequency wireless communications system (WCS) capable of both unicast and multicast signaling includes determining whether an aggregate demand for a content provided via dedicated unicast transmissions exceeds a threshold. The method includes switching transmission of the content from the dedicated unicast transmissions on one frequency to a multicast transmission on a second or more frequencies in response to determining that the aggregate demand exceeds the threshold.
Abstract:
A communication system extends IETF Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling used by IMS architecture. As a basic use case, initially a first user equipment (UE1) (controller) is in a media session (e.g., audio, video and message session) with a remote UE. To transfer provider of one media component to a controllee UE, the controller UE1 sends a REFER message with a relevant body to trigger the media session operations to a Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS). The SCC AS is able to interpret the contents of the REFER message to perform the media session manipulation on one or multiple UEs (originating UE itself or other UEs). The innovation provides for a REFER message that convey what needs to be done in a separate SIP header carrying target dialog and media line number(s), in a SDP body that REFER carries, or XML body that will be in REFER.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for network pre-configuration of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters in a communication channel triggered by establishment of packet data access by an access terminal with the network. The network-determined and network-initiated pre-establishment of the QoS parameters are for one or more reservation links, which each relate to a corresponding one or more applications resident on the access terminal.
Abstract:
A method for managing jitter includes determining, by a processor of a master device, at least one of device capabilities of at least one satellite device, device capabilities of the master device, or channel conditions; determining, by the processor of the master device, a de-jitter buffer size based on the at least one of the device capabilities of the at least one satellite device, the device capabilities of the master device, or the channel conditions; and applying, by the processor of the master device, de-jitter buffer having the determined de-jitter buffer size.
Abstract:
In some aspects, a non-gateway node transmits an internet route request to neighbor nodes and receives, from a gateway node, a response message including an address of the gateway node and a gateway indicator. The non-gateway node sets a gateway pointer equal to this address. In other aspects, a gateway node receives an internet route request from neighbor nodes and transmits, to the neighbor nodes, a response message including an address of the gateway node and a gateway indicator. In additional aspects, a non-gateway node receives, from gateway nodes on the network, an announcement of internet connectivity that includes address of the gateway nodes. The non-gateway node adds these addresses to a list of potential gateways. When the non-gateway nodes receives packets for transmission to an internet destination, it selects a gateway address from the list, and transmits the packets to a destination gateway associated with the gateway address.
