Abstract:
A system and method for authorizing access to a transmission station for a mobile device is disclosed. The mobile device can receive device extended access barring (EAB) configuration information in a broadcast control channel (BCCH) from a transmission station. The mobile device can bar the mobile device configured for EAB and having characteristics identified in the EAB configuration information for barring from accessing the transmission station. Alternatively, a system and method for barring a mobile device from accessing a transmission station is disclosed. The transmission station can receive from the mobile device a radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment request. The transmission station can configure a system information block (SIB) with extended access barring (EAB) configuration information. The transmission station can broadcast the SIB with EAB configuration information to the mobile device.
Abstract:
A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications using a machine type communication interworking function (MTC-IWF) that communicates monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting messages through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.
Abstract:
Technology for setting up a Device to Device (D2D) communication channel between mobile wireless devices is disclosed. The technology includes identifying a first user equipment and a second user equipment located within a proximity; receiving network assisted proximity discovery information at one of the first UE and the second UE from an evolved packet core (EPC) operating on a third generation partnership practice (3GPP) wireless wide area network (WWAN); and setting up a device to device (D2D) communication between the first UE and the second UE based on the network assisted proximity discovery information received from the EPC.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may send a non-voice emergency services (NOVES) message to a public safety access point (PSAP). If the UE does not receive an acknowledgement that the PSAP received the NOVES message, the UE may buffer the NOVES message and periodically re-transmit the NOVES message. The NOVES message may include a counter value that is incremented with each successive transmission. The PSAP may recognize if the counter value is greater than an initial value, and determine if the PSAP or another PSAP has received the NOVES message previously. In some embodiments, the UE may change an interval between re-transmissions if the UE receives a partial acknowledgement from an operator network indicating that the operator network has received the NOVES message but that the PSAP is unavailable. Embodiments also provide an emergency module hosted at the operator network to store and forward the NOVES message to the PSAP.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for low power consumption in wireless communication systems are disclosed herein. An evolved node B (eNodeB) is configured to provide a connection reconfiguration message to user equipment (UE) connected to the eNodeB, the connection reconfiguration message configuring the UE to indicate a power preference. The eNodeB receives assistance information from the UE. The assistance information includes a low power preference indication and a timer length, wherein the timer length indicates a preferred duration for a low power mode. The eNodeB provides, in response to receiving the assistance information, a connection release message to the UE. The connection release message includes paging discontinuous reception (DRX) information that includes the timer length.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) operable to authorize access to a node is disclosed. The UE can process extended access barring (EAB) configuration information in a system information block (SIB) received in a broadcast control channel (BCCH) from a node. The SIB can be a SIB type 14 in a long term evolution (LTE) system. The UE can bar access to the node when the SIB with EAB configuration information has characteristics associated with barring.
Abstract:
A 3GPP monitoring architecture framework provides monitoring event configuration, detection, and reporting for machine-type and other mobile data applications by configuring monitoring on a mobility management entity (MME), a serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), or a home subscriber service (HSS) node through existing interfaces, such as Tsp, T4, and T5 interfaces.
Abstract:
Techniques are described that can be used for efficient mobility management signaling. In some cases, a network can specify an extended timer used for a machine to machine (M2M) type device to communicate with a network. The extended timer can be transmitted in connection with an attachment acceptance message, Location Updating Accept message, Tracking Area Update Accept, or Routing Area Update Accept message. In some cases, a timer can be adjusted using a multiplier in order to increase a period at which communications with the network occur. The network can transmit an indication to change a timer by multiplying the timer with the multiplier.
Abstract:
Technology for communicating a short message service (SMS) communication in a packet switched (PS) domain of a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node SGSN in a Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN). In one embodiment, a PS support module is configured to receive a request message from a mobile station (MS), the request message including an Additional Update Type information element (IE), the Additional Update Type IE including information to indicate that the MS is to support a PS based short messaging service (SMS).
