Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a configuration for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmissions for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS), wherein the configuration, which is specific to the UE, identifies allocated resources of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for the HARQ retransmissions; and use the allocated resources identified in the configuration for the HARQ retransmissions. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive a network identifier of a cell; determine that the cell is a first type of cell; and perform an access procedure to attempt to connect to the cell, wherein a first type of access procedure associated with the first type of cell or a second type of access procedure associated with a second type of cell is performed based at least in part on whether the network identifier indicates a particular type of access procedure. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for a user equipment (UE) to change from a first network to a second network for an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) call. Initially, the UE has a connection to a first network providing an IP address for the UE. The UE may receive, via the first network, a message indicating an incoming IMS call. The UE may transmit one or more IMS call setup messages on the first network at an IP layer. The UE may change the connection from the first network to a second network that uses a same identifier for the UE (e.g., the IP address). The UE may complete setup of the IMS call on the second network using the same identifier for the UE.
Abstract:
A neutral home network (NHN) may support home-routed traffic between a user equipment (UE) and a network of a mobile network operator (MNO) associated with the UE. The NHN may transmit an access point name (APN) that indicates a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier (ID) to the UE. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an MNO PLMN ID. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an NHN PLMN ID. From the APN, the UE may determine whether the NHN supports home-routed traffic. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the UE may transmit a packet data network (PDN) connectivity request to the NHN. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the UE may establish a tunnel to the MNO network through Internet access provided by the NHN.
Abstract:
A method includes: establishing a telecommunication link between a device and a service provider system via a telecommunication network; receiving a device public key via the telecommunication network from the device at the service provider system, the device public key predating the establishment of the telecommunication link; verifying, at the service provider system, that the device stores a device private key in a secure storage area of the device, the device private key corresponding to the device public key, the device public key and the device private key being a cryptographic key pair; and authorizing, by the service provider system, sign-up of the device for service enrollment in response to verifying that the device stores the device private key in the secure storage area of the device.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for managing voice calls in Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) communication devices that are configured to make voice calls using both Circuit Switched (CS) networks and Internet Protocol (IP) over Packet Switched (PS) networks. The device may determine, when registered with a PS network, a signal strength of a CS network at the device. The device may select, based on the signal strength of the CS network, one of the CS network and the PS network for the voice call. The device may establish the voice call using the selected network. The device may receive a user request for initiating a voice call, and initiate a voice call over the selected network automatically using an application corresponding to the selected network. The device may also register with a voice over IP (VoIP) service over the PS network based on the signal strength of the CS network.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for heavy active estimation mechanism for backhaul management at a small cell base station. For example, the method may include identifying, at the small cell base station, that a throughput of a user equipment (UE) in communication with the small cell base station is potentially limited due to backhaul congestion at the small cell base station, establishing a proxy flow between the small cell base station and a transmission control protocol (TCP) proxy peer in response to the identifying, wherein the proxy flow data packets are transmitted from the small cell base station to the TCP proxy peer or from the TCP proxy peer to the small cell base station, calculating a throughput of the proxy flow for a pre-determined time period, and determining whether the throughput of the UE is limited by backhaul congestion at the small cell base station based on the calculated throughput of the proxy flow. As such, heavy active estimation mechanism for backhaul management at a small cell base station may be achieved.
Abstract:
Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) is defined based on a mobility condition of an access terminal. For example, upon determining that an access terminal is moving (or at a cell edge, or experiencing poor link conditions, etc., due to mobility), FFR may be defined for the serving access point of the access terminal and/or for neighbor access points to maintain acceptable link quality for the access terminal. In particular, FFR may be defined in a manner that frees-up or otherwise reserves resources for the access terminal. For example, the serving access point may allocate additional sub-bands for the access terminal and/or increase the power levels used on the sub-bands allocated for the access terminal. In addition, neighbor access points may back-off these sub-bands.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for communication at a network entity comprise sending a measurement configuration message to a user equipment (UE) to configure the UE to perform one or more measurements during a specified measurement period. Additionally, the methods and apparatus comprise suspending, at the network entity, transmission of at least one configuration parameter to the UE during the specified measurement period, wherein the network entity is the serving network entity. Moreover, the methods and apparatus comprise receiving at least one measurement report message from the UE after the specified measurement period.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for joint power and resource management in a wireless network. For example, the disclosure presents a method for receiving reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements of one or more neighboring base stations of a base station. In addition, such an example method, may include calibrating a transmit power of the base station based at least on the received measurements, and adjusting transmit resources of the base station in response to the calibration. As such, joint power and resource management in a wireless network may be achieved.
