Abstract:
Disclosed are techniques for transmitting bundles of silence indicator (SID) frames during a voice call among a plurality of access terminals. In an aspect, a source access terminal detects a transition to a silence state, generates, in response to detection of the transition, at least a first bundle of SID frames, wherein each SID frame of the at least the first bundle of SID frames includes data representing comfort noise to be played at one or more target access terminals of the plurality of access terminals during the silence state, and transmits the at least the first bundle of SID frames to a base station serving the source access terminal. In an aspect, the base station receives the at least the first bundle of SID frames, and periodically forwards SID frames of the at least the first bundle of SID frames to the one or more target access terminals.
Abstract:
A person may utilize multiple connected devices, such as smart watches, user equipments (UEs), smartphones, tablet computers, and/or the like, which may each be assigned unique phone numbers. Operators may assign a common phone number to the multiple connected devices; however, the phone number is not used in the access stratum path of a radio access technology resulting in multiple paging procedures being performed for the multiple connected devices. In implementations, described herein, a first UE, such as a smartphone, may obtain paging information associated with decoding paging messages for a second UE, such as a smart watch. The first UE may use the paging information to decode a paging message of a combined paging cycle established for the first UE and the second UE, thereby obviating a need for multiple paging cycles for the first UE and the second UE.
Abstract:
One aspect of the present application provides a Category M apparatus that communicates over a communication network. The apparatus comprises a processor and an interface. The processor is configured to generate a message requesting registration of the apparatus with a core network, the message generated to include at least one header indicating a power saving mode capability of the apparatus. The processor is further configured to schedule sleep periods and wakeup times for the apparatus. The interface is configured to transmit the message to the core network. The interface is further configured to receive a response, from the core network, including one or more parameters and one or more timers established by the core network based at least in part on the power saving mode capability of the apparatus.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed for session initiation in a conference. In one aspect, a method for communicating between multiple parties is disclosed. The method comprises generating, at a first device, a first message for transmission to a second device. The method further comprises receiving, at the first device, a second message for establishing a conference. The second message includes a list of one or more concurrent codec capabilities supported by the second device. The list of one or more concurrent codec capabilities supported by the second device comprises an indication of whether one or more resources usable for one or more concurrent instances of a first listed codec may instead be used for one or more concurrent instances of a second listed codec.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication is disclosed, in which a wearable device may determine whether a network operator provides support for bursty communication, and communicate directly through the network operator in the bursty communication in response to the determining the network operator provides the support for bursty communication. The support for bursty communication by the network operator may be either integrated into a telephony application server (TAS) or a wearable application server (WAS) that is a separate entity from the TAS and deployed between the TAS and the wearable device. The bursty communication by the wearable device may include receiving packets in the bursty communication, buffering the received packets, and transmitting or playing out the bursty communication in entirety after all of the packets in the bursty communication have been received. Apparatus corresponding to such method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An example method of facilitating communication between a mobile device and a target peer includes receiving, at a proxy executing on a mobile device, a communication to initiate a real-time communication connection with a target peer. The method also includes determining one or more capabilities of the target peer. The method further includes initiating a session with the target peer, where the session is based on the one or more determined capabilities of the target peer.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for priority based management of the connections between a device and a network are described herein. In some aspects, a device may include multiple applications with different access priorities. As a result of a mobility event, such as change in location or resuming operation after an idle period, the device may be configured to transmit a signal indicating its status. The signal may include an access priority value. Various methods and systems for determining an access priority value for devices configured to support one or more access priorities are described.
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.
