Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to report uncategorized data in a buffer status report. A first portion of buffered uplink data to be reported in a buffer status report may be categorized using a traffic flow template. A second portion of buffered uplink data to be reported in the buffer status report may not be categorized using the traffic flow template. A buffer status report indicating both the categorized and the uncategorized buffered uplink data may be transmitted to a base station providing a serving cell to the wireless device. According to some embodiments, the categorized buffered uplink data may be stored in a baseband processor buffer of the wireless device, while the uncategorized buffered uplink data may be stored in an application processor buffer of the wireless device.

Abstract: The disclosure describes apparatus and methods for communicating control plane data with a mobile device in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network employing carrier aggregation. A network apparatus, such as an enhanced NodeB (eNodeB) or a mobility management entity (MME), can be configured to evaluate a measurement report (MR) received from a mobile device for one or more radio frequency (RF) conditions associated with a primary network cell and one or more RF conditions associated with a secondary network cell. Then, based on the evaluation, the network apparatus can determine to communicate the control plane data with the mobile device via the primary network cell, the secondary network cell, or both. The control plane data can correspond to non-access stratum (NAS) information, radio resource control (RRC) information, or a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission of previously transmitted control plane data.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) configured to connect to a network and operate in a carrier aggregation mode and a single carrier mode performs methods to select optimal component carriers. The methods include determining that a primary component carrier is operating less optimally than a secondary component carrier, sending an indication to the network that the primary component carrier is operating less optimally than the secondary component carrier, acquiring the secondary component carrier as a target primary component carrier and operating with the secondary component carrier as the target primary carrier component. In one exemplary embodiment, the indication is declaring a radio link failure (“RLF”) between the UE and the network. In another exemplary embodiment, the indication is a measurement report send to the network that triggers a handover procedure for the UE.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that adjust radio resource control connection states between a mobile wireless device and a wireless network following determination that a set of inactivity trigger conditions is met. Time periods between successive data messages and/or signaling messages transmitted to and/or received from a wireless access network are measured. When a prolonged period of data inactivity and/or signaling activity is determined, the mobile wireless device re-establishes an existing radio resource control connection to the wireless access network or releases the radio resource control connection to the wireless access network and transitions to an idle state.

Abstract: A wireless communication system is presented in which user equipment (UE) performs non-intra-frequency (NIF) cell reselection. The NIF cell reselection process can: detect, on a discontinues reception (DRX) cycle, whether a NIF for a second cell has passed a second reselection threshold; perform, on the DRX cycle, additional checks or measurements to determine whether a higher priority NIF for a third cell has passed a third reselection threshold; and continue a cell reselection process for the second cell and the third cell. The NIF cell reselection techniques can help ensure that the UE reselects to higher priority cells without expending an unnecessary amount power.

Abstract: A connection with a network that includes a base station (BS) may be established by a user device (UE) via a wireless connection, for conducting communications using semi persistent scheduling (SPS) in a connected discontinuous reception (C-DRX) mode. The SPS transmit periodicity may be adjusted with respect to the SPS activation command and the SPS interval UL (for uplink). Data may then be transmitted during the C-DRX On-Duration periods according to the determined SPS transmit periodicity. In some embodiments, the SPS transmit periodicity is adjusted such that following a first C-DRX On-Duration period when an SPS activation command is received, SPS data transmission occurs a specified number of subframes earlier during each subsequent C-DRX On-Duration period than in the first C-DRX On-Duration period. The SPS data transmission in each subsequent C-DRX On-Duration period may take place as soon as the UE device wakes up during the On-Duration period.
