Abstract:
In a wireless network, a user equipment (UE) may support reflective quality of service (QoS), where QoS applied to uplink packets is implicitly derived from downlink packets. For example, when the UE receives a downlink packet that includes a reflective QoS (RQoS) indicator and a QoS flow identifier (QFI), the UE may apply the same QoS associated with the downlink packet to an uplink packet with one or more attributes that match the downlink packet. However, for a received downlink encapsulating security payload (ESP) packet that includes an RQoS indicator and a QFI, a modem cannot determine an uplink security parameters index (SPI) and downlink SPI pairing needed to enable RQoS because the uplink/downlink SPI pairing is known only by the upper layer. Accordingly, some aspects described herein enable the modem to learn uplink/downlink SPI pairings for ESP packets and thereby enable RQoS for ESP packets.
Abstract:
A UE may include one or more application processors and a modem processor. The modem processor may include flow priority engine configured to receive, from the one or more application processors, requests for determining priority treatment of one or more packet filters of one or more uplink transmissions and transmit the one or more uplink transmissions to a base station based on priorities of the one or more uplink transmissions. The priorities of the uplink transmissions may be determined based on at least one of the requests for priority treatment received from the one or more application processors, mapping of uplink transmissions to radio bearers, the priorities of the radio bearers, or one or more configuration rules.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting and receiving data from a multi-homing network device to a data network is disclosed and includes defining a network policy and transmitting the network policy to a routing module. Further, the method includes receiving a route scope from the routing module. The route scope identifies a subset of data interfaces to the data network that satisfy the network policy wherein the subset of data interfaces are selected from a set of available data interfaces and wherein the subset of data interfaces includes at least one data interface.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may determine to discard a number of packets from a plurality of packets included in a packet stream. The plurality of packets may be associated with a context. The wireless communication device may determine that the number of packets to discard does not satisfy a threshold associated with the context. The wireless communication device may discard the number of packets. The wireless communication device may transmit the plurality of packets after discarding the number of packets based at least in part on the determination that the number of packets does not satisfy the threshold. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for reducing delays associated with an attachment procedure are disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may initiate an attachment procedure with a network over a non-access stratum (NAS) layer and detect a condition that may delay completion of the attachment. Based on the detection, the UE may determine whether the condition may be resolved before failure in the attachment procedure. If the UE determines that the condition can be resolved before attachment failure, the UE may suspend a timer associated with the attachment procedure at the NAS layer to allow more time for the UE to complete an authentication associated with the attachment. Conversely, if the UE determines that the condition cannot be resolved before attachment failure, the UE may abort the attachment procedure with the network and initiate a fallback attachment procedure with the network via a different base station.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for resolving incompatible network configurations are described herein. A mobile device having peripheral devices connected thereto receives a request from a peripheral device, determines whether the address configuration protocol associated with the peripheral device is compatible with the network to which the mobile device is connected, and if not compatible, the mobile device translates the address configuration protocol of the peripheral device to one compatible with the network.
Abstract:
A receiving device re-establishing a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity. The receiving device resets a robust header compression (ROHC) context. The receiving device receives packet retransmissions having header compression based on the ROHC. The receiving device performs decompression of the packet retransmissions. The receiving device discards duplicate packets after performing the decompression of the packet retransmissions.
Abstract:
When sending a first set of packets is determined to be prioritized over sending a second set of packets, and when each first header of each of the first set of packets and each second header of each of the second set of packets is determined to be compressed, an apparatus may compress the first header of each of the first set of packets using a first CID associated with a connection. Further, the apparatus may compress the second header of each of the second set of packets using a second CID associated with the connection. The apparatus may send the first set of packets through the connection. The apparatus may send, after sending the first set of packets, the second set of packets through the connection.
Abstract:
An apparatus operable in a communication system and having the capability to discard an internet protocol address is described. The apparatus is configured to receive an assignment of a first internet protocol address of a first type for a first application and a second internet protocol address of a second type for a second application for a data connection to a network. The apparatus is also configured to determine that the apparatus is currently not able to handle both the first internet protocol address and the second internet protocol address. The apparatus is further configured to determine an internet protocol address to discard, and discard the determined internet protocol address.
