Abstract:
Described herein are apparatuses, methods, and computer readable media for configuring a router. An exemplary method comprises determining a first subnet associated with the router, the router having a first configuration setting; updating the first configuration setting for the router; in response to updating the first configuration setting, determining whether a second subnet is associated with the router; determining whether the router is connected to a client device that has a network address associated with the first subnet; and determining whether to disassociate the first subnet from the router based, at least in part, on whether the router is connected to the client device that has the network address associated with the first subnet.
Abstract:
In one aspect, wireless communications may be provided by routing packets from a wireless communication device to a wide area network via a first network, wherein the packets comprise data for a first service and a second service. Upon determining that a second network is assigned as a default network, data for the first service and the second service may be selectively assigned the to the first network or the second network based at least in part upon whether the second network is assigned as the default network and further based at least in part on a quality of service requirement of the first service and the second service respectively. The first service may comprise an IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) service. The first network can comprise a wireless wide area network (WWAN), and the second network can comprise a wireless local area network (WLAN) or an Ethernet network.
Abstract:
Homes, enterprise establishments, and other facilities often have routing devices that route traffic to locally connected client devices. A routing device may be connected to an external network (e.g., the internet) through a bridging device, such as an outdoor unit that receives network connectivity through a cellular backhaul connection. If the bridging device's backhaul connection temporarily fails (e.g., due to radio link failure), a public IP address associated with the bridging device and the routing device may change upon recovery of the backhaul connection. If the routing device is not aware of the changed public IP address, subsequent communications between the routing device and the external network may fail. Disclosed are systems and methods for recovering from connectivity failure when using bridging devices to provide network connectivity.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media of the various embodiments enable a software-enabled access point mobile computing device to delegate prefixes to already connected local area network (LAN) client devices upon establishment or re-establishment of a data connection. The various embodiments may enable a mobile computing device configured to operate as a mobile router (i.e., a softAP mobile computing device) to support prefix delegation by providing unique IPv6 prefixes to connected LAN client devices.
Abstract:
Homes, enterprises, and other facilities often have routers that receive internet connectivity through wired remote network connections, and this connectivity is provided to locally connected client devices. Smart phones and other wireless devices can serve as mobile access points that receive internet connectivity through different remote network connections (e.g., cellular networks). The mobile access points may also service client devices that may be different from those serviced by the routers. When a mobile access point is placed in a facility having a router, the local networks of the mobile access point and the router may be merged. Disclosed are systems and methods for dynamically selecting from multiple host devices (e.g., the router and the mobile access point) to provide internet connectivity for merged networks.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a network device. The apparatus receives an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) data from a base station via multicast transmission. The apparatus transmits the received eMBMS data to one or more end nodes via unicast transmission. In an aspect, the one or more end nodes are connected to the network device via a local area network (LAN).
Abstract:
Methods, devices, systems, and non-transitory process-readable storage media include methods for preventing IPv6 address exhaustion in prefix delegation mode by a software-enabled access point (“softAP”) mobile computing device providing an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) wide area network (WAN) connection to a plurality of client devices. A processor of a softAP mobile computing device may include assigning an unassigned prefix of a pool of available prefixes to a client device connected to a local area network (LAN) established by the softAP mobile computing device. The processor may determine whether the client device is disconnected from the LAN based on receiving an indication that the client device has disconnected. The processor may perform a cache look-up to obtain a link-local address of the client device when the client device is disconnected from the LAN, and unassign the prefix associated with the link-local address of the client device.
Abstract:
A CPE receives, over a first connection with a wireless network, a network-assigned prefix for the CPE. The CPE creates a prefix based on a subset of bits from the network assigned prefix. The CPE transmits, over a second connection with a LAN router device, the prefix created by the CPE as a WAN prefix for the LAN router device and the network assigned prefix as a LAN prefix for the LAN router device.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, devices, and non-transitory processor-readable storage media of the various embodiments enable a software enabled access point (“softAP”) computing device to route evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (“eMBMS”) multicast (“MCAST”) traffic to connected local area network (“LAN”) client devices. In an embodiment, a self-assigned Internet Protocol (“IP”) address may be assigned to the wide area network (“WAN”) interface of the softAP computing device where eMBMS MCAST traffic may be received and an MCAST routing daemon/utility of the softAP computing device may enable MCAST forwarding from the WAN interface to the LAN interface of the softAP computing device. In an embodiment, an MCAST routing daemon/utility may be modified to accept an alternate network comprising all source IP addresses.
