    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for optimizing data transmission include receiving an indicator indicating the availability of a first communication channel, the first communication channel having a higher data rate than a second communication channel. Aspects can include determining whether the first communication channel is available to transmit data based on the indicator, and transmitting the data via the first communication channel, upon determining that the first communication channel is available. Additionally, aspects include entering a sleep state, upon determining that the first communication channel is not available, and determining whether the first communication channel has become available during a subsequent awake period. Entering a sleep state and determining whether the first communication channel has become available during a subsequent awake period may occur until the first communication channel becomes available or until an expiration of a timer. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: A system and method of infrastructure service discovery is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes requesting an access point to issue an Internet protocol address reserved for service discovery messages. In another particular embodiment, a method includes generating a service query message at a mobile station and sending the service query message to an advertisement server via an uncontrolled port. In yet another particular embodiment, a method includes generating, at a mobile station, a layer 2 protocol query encapsulating at least a portion of a layer 3 protocol query in the layer 2 protocol query to generate a modified layer 2 protocol query. The layer 3 protocol query is associated with a service discovery request. The method further includes sending the modified layer 2 protocol query to an access point or to an information server via a wireless network.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for control and triggering of machine to machine (M2M) devices (e.g., smart meters). More specifically how to allow an M2M service provider (e.g., utility company) to use an operator's network to communicate with the M2M device connected with a UE/GW associated with the operator's network. The M2M service provider may receive identification of the UE/GW, but not for the M2M device. By transmitting an identifier for the M2M device along with an identifier for the UE/GW, the network operator may define establish and maintain a communication path specific to M2M devices. Similar techniques may be incorporated to allow the M2M service provider to locate and trigger the M2M device.

    Abstract: Access terminals are adapted to transmit a plurality of previously successful access probes to a network node, and determine an initial transmission power level for subsequent access attempts. The initial transmission power level can be determined based at least in part on one or more parameters associated with the plurality of previously successful access probes. An initial access probe of a subsequent access attempt can then be transmitted at the determined initial transmission power level. Network nodes that receive the one or more access probes from access terminals can send a message instructing the access terminals to employ a particular initial transmission power level for a subsequent access attempt. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also included.
