Abstract:
An embodiment is directed to switching between server-arbitrated group communication sessions at an access terminal (AT) within a wireless communications system. The AT participates in a first group communication session when it receives an announce message announcing a second group communication session, acquires priority levels for the first and/or second group communication sessions and determines whether to switch between sessions based on the priority level(s). In another embodiment, the AT participates in a given processing task (e.g., a gaming session, a voice call, a group session, etc.) when it receives an alert that relates to a group communication session. If the alert is specially configured to force the given access terminal to drop the given processing task, the AT drops the given processing task irrespective of whether the AT later joins the announced group communication session.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for enhanced availability of network-assisted services. The method may include receiving, from at least one peripheral device, one or more provisioning requests to provide service to the at least one peripheral device. The method may also include determining whether to handle one or more provisioning requests based on capabilities of the mobile gateway. Furthermore, the method may include, in response to the determination to handle the one or more provisioning requests, requesting, from a server, at least one application based on the one or more provisioning requests, wherein the at least one application enables the mobile gateway to service the at least one peripheral device.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to Internet of Things (IoT) device social networking, and in particular to an IoT device publish-subscribe messaging model and automatic IoT device social network expansion. For example, IoT devices from different networks may publish status data that relates to certain topics, wherein the published status updates may be managed in a distributed manner at each IoT network. Furthermore, IoT devices interested in published data can subscribe to data relating to certain topics, which may be used to dynamically adjust actions that the subscribing IoT devices may take. Furthermore, IoT devices can employ common social networking capabilities (e.g., refer, follow, like, publish, subscribe, etc.) to interact with other IoT devices and find relevant information from other IoT devices that can be used to improve performance and effectiveness.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for indicating a bearer status with a device are provided. A call setup message can be received from an application server indicating a request to initiate a call with a target device. A dedicated bearer status of a dedicated bearer with the target device can be verified, and a message can be sent to the application server indicating the dedicated bearer status with the target device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for reducing time to receive a call failure indication in a wireless communications system are provided. A request to initiate a call with a target user equipment (UE) is received from an originating UE. A call setup message that corresponds to the request is sent to a network node, and an internet control message protocol (ICMP) message indicative of the network node lacking a dedicated bearer to a radio access network that corresponds to the target UE can be received in response to the request. Based on the ICMP message, a status failure message is sent to the originating UE indicating failure of the call.
Abstract:
Techniques described herein enable store-and-forward systems to hold data at source node (e.g., service platform) until they can be provided to the destination node e.g., user device). In other words, data can be buffered at the source node until the destination node is “online,” and the establishment of a connection between the destination node and the intermediate node can trigger the retrieval of this data from the source node by the intermediate node. Additional techniques may be implemented to ensure the data connection between the intermediate node in the destination node does not expire while data is being communicated from the source node to the intermediate node.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to collaborative intelligence and decision-making in an Internet of Things (IoT) device group. In particular, various IoT devices in the group may be interdependent, whereby a decision that one IoT device plans may impact other IoT devices in the group. Accordingly, in response to an IoT device planning a certain decision (e.g., to transition state or initiate another action), the IoT devices in the group may collaborate using distributed intelligence prior to taking action on the planned decision. For example, a recommendation request may be sent to other IoT devices in the group, which may then analyze relationships within the group to assess potential impacts associated with the planned decision and respond to approve or disapprove the planned decision. Based on the responses received from the other IoT devices, the IoT device may then determine whether to take action on the planned decision.
