Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for communicating IP datagrams efficiently within communication links employing variable frame sizes bundles IP datagrams into data payloads. The number of datagrams that can fit within a current frame size is determined, a bundle header indicating that the bundle header is associated with a bundled IP datagram is generated that includes information for unpacking bundled IP datagrams. The bundle header is joined to one or more IP datagrams to form a data payload that is communicated as a frame payload without indicating in a frame header that the frame includes bundled IP datagrams. Information in the bundle header enables a receiver processor to extract the IP datagrams from the frame payload without requiring modifications to the frame header. A bundle header may precede each IP datagram, or one bundle header may include a map IP datagrams in the frame payload.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide various apparatuses and methods for formatting and decoding a protocol data unit (PDU) or data packet such that header size and packet processing time at the transmitter and/or receiver can be reduced. The proposed PDU formats may facilitate more efficient packet processing at a medium access control (MAC) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and/or a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, and less dependent on the number of service data units (SDUs) included in a PDU.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for count synchronization in a wireless communication network. A respective count value may be maintained for each packet transmitted over a wireless connection, where each count value includes a respective hyper frame number and a respective sequence number. To synchronize a current count value associated with a current packet, a count synchronization may be initiated to transmit at least a current hyper frame number of the current count value over the wireless connection.
Abstract:
A method for 1x/LTE dual domain camping with a single radio UE is described. The method includes adaptively sharing a first receive chain and a second receive chain between a first radio access technology (RAT) modem and a second RAT modem of the single radio UE.

Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe transmitting data in wireless communications. A set of packets for transmission in a defined sequence can be received where the set of packets includes two or more packets. It can be detected that a packet, of the set of packets, is a prioritized packet type. The packet can be prioritized for transmission ahead of its order in the defined sequence based on the detection of the prioritized packet type. The packet can be transmitted ahead of its order in the defined sequence to an access point.
Abstract:
Techniques are described herein to secure a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) control protocol data unit (PDU). A base station may determine a security configuration for a PDCP control PDU based on various factors including the content of the PDCP control PDU. For example, the security configuration of the PDCP control PDU may be applied because the PDCP control PDU includes a retransmission request. A counter dedicated to PDCP control PDUs may be initialized. The security protocols may be based on the dedicated counter. Some types of security parameters may be shared in some contexts such as in handover procedures or dual connectivity procedures. For example, security configurations associated with a second communication link may be based on security configurations associated with a first communication link. PDCP control PDUs may be secured based on the security configurations, the security parameters, protection keys, or combinations thereof.
