Abstract:
Embodiments of a multi-radio controller and methods for preventing interference between co-located transceivers are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the multi-radio controller operates within a multi-radio device and is configured to cause a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver to transmit a triggering frame after an active period of a wireless wide-area network (WWAN) transceiver. The triggering frame indicates the duration of a transmission opportunity, which may be restricted to the time between active periods of the WWAN. In response to receipt of the triggering frame, the WLAN access point is configured to transmit a downlink data frame within the transmission opportunity.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems of tunneling data radio bearers via a wireless local area network link. For example, an Evolved Node B (eNB) may communicate with a User Equipment (UE) traffic of a plurality of Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) via a cellular link; establish an offloading tunnel between the UE and the eNB to tunnel the DRBs via a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) link, the offloading tunnel including one or more User Datagram Protocol (UDP) tunneling connections configured to differentiate between the plurality of DRBs; and coordinate with the UE a handover of at least one DRB of the plurality of DRBs to the offloading tunnel.

Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of selecting a mobility mode of a User Equipment (UE). For example, a UE may include a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver; a cellular transceiver to communicate with a cellular node; an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) client module to communicate with an ANDSF server; and a controller to select a WLAN mobility mode from a cellular/WLAN aggregation mode and an ANDSF mode.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques and configurations for resource management associated with communications in multiple radio access networks. In one example, a method of resource management may include obtaining quality of experience (QoE) information from a network server running deep packet inspection or an application executing on a computing device and configured to provide content to the computing device for user access, and determining whether to adjust the content delivery via at least one of the two radio access networks, based at least in part on the quality experience information. The adjustment may include increasing or reducing the content delivery via one of the radio access networks. The content may be delivered to the computing device via at least two radio access networks substantially simultaneously. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
An integrated WLAN/WWAN Radio Access Technology (“RAT”) architecture is described, in which signaling used to control the integration of the WLAN/WWAN architecture is performed over the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (“PDCP”) layer, and/or at other layers (e.g., a layer between the PDCP layer and the Internet Protocol (“IP”) layer). When involving the PDCP layer, non-standard PDCP packets, including variable length PDCP packets, may be used. The integrated architecture may provide a network controlled framework for performing traffic steering and radio resource management.
Abstract:
An integrated WLAN/WWAN architecture is described, in which signaling used to control the integration of the WLAN/WWAN architecture is performed over the Radio Resource Control (“RRC”) plane. The integrated architecture may provide a network-controlled framework for performing traffic steering and radio resource management. Additionally, according to the disclosure provided herein, the integrated architecture may interwork with legacy systems (e.g., architectures that do not support the integrated WLAN/WWAN architecture).
Abstract:
Embodiments of user equipment and methods for reducing delay in a radio-access network (RAN) are generally described herein. Embodiments disclosed herein provide enhancements that may be applicable to a 3GPP LTE RAN for reducing delay that may be particularly beneficial for real-time over-the-top (OTT) applications. Some embodiments provide for an uplink delayed buffer status report. Some embodiments provide for a downlink congestion and buffer report. Some embodiments provide for traffic characteristic based inter-UE prioritization.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media, are provided for offloading computationally intensive tasks from one computer device to another computer device taking into account, inter alia, energy consumption and latency budgets for both computation and communication. Embodiments may also exploit multiple radio access technologies (RATs) in order to find opportunities to offload computational tasks by taking into account, for example, network/RAT functionalities, processing, offloading coding/encoding mechanisms, and/or differentiating traffic between different RATs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to Multi-Access Management Services (MAMS), which is a programmable framework that provides mechanisms for the flexible selection of network paths in a multi-access (MX) communication environment, based on an application's needs. Generic Multi-Access (GMA) functions are also integrated into the MAMS framework. The present disclosure discusses Per-Packet Prioritization (PPP), intra-flow classification, and Active Queue Management (AQM) techniques for MAMS/GMA systems. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
