Abstract:
Systems and methods are described herein, a method including, but not limited to, transmitting, at a first frame time, a first number of redundant data packets; transmitting, at a second frame time, a second number of redundant data packets in response to data packet loss beyond a predetermined tolerance level, the second number being greater than the first number; and transmitting, at a third frame time, a third number of redundant data packets, the third number is between the first number and the second number.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a server mediates a first group communication session with the user equipment (UE) by exchanging media for the first group communication session with the UE over a first link with a first level of Quality of Service (QoS) resources (e.g., either without a guaranteed bit rate (GBR) or a threshold amount of GBR) and exchanging non-media signaling data for the first group communication session with the UE over a signaling link that is either the same or separate from the first link. The server detects, while the UE continues participation in the first group communication session, that the UE has joined or is attempting to join a second group communication session. The server applies a policy for selectively allocating additional QoS resources to supplement the first level of QoS resources to the UE for concurrently supporting both the first and second group communication sessions in response to the detection.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to optimized always-on wireless service using network assistance and keep-alives. More particularly, in response to a user equipment (UE) requesting a bearer for an always-on service, a network may establish the bearer for the always-on service and transmit an availability time that indicates a period during which the bearer will be held in an active state to the UE. Any applications running on the UE may then use the bearer for the always-on service, and the UE may transmit a single keep-alive message to the network before the availability time expires to reset the period during which the bearer will be held in the active state. Furthermore, the keep-alive message may be structured to not generate a reply and thereby reduce battery consumption, reduce communication overhead, and improve network capacity.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, an apparatus (e.g., a client device or a server) sends, to a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network component, a request to setup a Quality of Service (QoS) bearer with a threshold level of QoS to support the communication session for the client device. The apparatus permits the client device to proceed with the attempt to setup the communication session irrespective of whether the LTE network component grants the threshold level of QoS for the QoS bearer. In another embodiment, the LTE network component rejects an initial QoS request from the apparatus due to QoS unavailability, and then receives another QoS request within a threshold period of time. Based on the two (or more) QoS requests being received within the threshold period of time, the LTE network component allocates an available level of QoS to the client device that is less than the requested level of QoS.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a UE determines to transmit a message (e.g., an alert message, a call initiation message). Based on the type of the message to be transmitted, the UE selectively transmits supplemental data configured to prompt an access network to transition the UE to a dedicated channel state (DCS). In another embodiment, an application server configured to arbitrate communication sessions between UEs receives a message for transmission to a target UE. Based on the type of the message to be transmitted to the target UE, the application server selectively transmits, to a serving access network of the target UE, supplemental data configured to prompt the serving access network to transition the target UE to the DCS. In another embodiment, the access network selectively transitions a target UE to the DCS based on whether differently sized messages are received at the access network for transmission to the target UE.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a message indicating that the UE is to execute a make-before-break handover procedure. The UE may transmit, during the make-before-break handover procedure and based at least in part on a prioritization rule, a first uplink communication to a target base station. The prioritization rule may indicate a relative priority for different uplink communications included in a group of uplink communications. The group of uplink communications may include at least the first uplink communication to be transmitted by the UE to the target base station and a second uplink communication to be transmitted by the UE to a source base station during the make-before-break handover procedure. Numerous other aspects are described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. One or more second user equipments (UEs) may determine to communicate with a third UE and perform route discovery techniques based on a sidelink relay operation. The third UE may determine to utilize a first UE to facilitate communicating with the third UE. The second UEs may transmit control signaling to the first UE indicating a request for one or more temporary identifications assigned to the second UEs, the third UE, or both. The first UE may generate the one or more temporary identifications and transmit the one or more temporary identifications to the second UEs and the third UE. The first UE may relay further communications associated with an end-to-end (E2E) link that include the one or more temporary identifications in a sidelink relay adaptation protocol (SRAP) header.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a master node (MN) may receive a message indicating that a user equipment (UE) has determined that a condition for a conditional primary secondary cell (PSCell) change has been satisfied for a candidate target PSCell. The candidate target PSCell may be one of a set of candidate target PSCells associated with the UE in a conditional PSCell change configuration provided by a base station. The MN may transmit, to a source secondary node, a confirmation message associated with the conditional PSCell change. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may be provided with wireless local area network (WLAN) identifiers associated with a public land mobile network (PLMN) for determining WLAN access points that support control plane termination at a fifth generation (5G) RAN for the PLMN. In another aspect, a network node may encapsulate system information in a broadcast message for transmission from a WLAN access point to a UE, and the UE may be configured to receive the system information from the WLAN access point in one or more modification periods. In yet another aspect, a network node may encapsulate a paging message for a broadcast or unicast transmission from a WLAN access point to a UE. In yet another aspect, UEs and network nodes may be configured to map traffic characteristics of traffic for a 5G bearer to WLAN access categories.
Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network entity may receive, from a relay node via a radio access link, information indicating a link layer identifier of the relay node associated with a relay service, wherein the relay node is associated with a radio access identifier. The network entity may configure a relay service with the relay node and a remote node using a mapping between the radio access identifier and the link layer identifier. Numerous other aspects are described.
