Abstract:
Techniques for managing resources on a wireless device are described. In an aspect, congestion of resources on the wireless device may be detected. If any resources are deemed to be congested, then congestion of the congested resources may be relieved by controlling utilization of the congested resources by at least one client. In one design, flow control may be performed for at least one data flow to relieve congestion of the congested resources. A pattern indicative of when to send messages enabling data transmission and when to send messages disabling data transmission may be selected. Messages may then be sent in accordance with the pattern to control transmission of data for the at least one data flow. Another pattern with a higher ON fraction or a lower ON fraction may be selected based on usage of the congested resources.
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to effectively handling failure and retry mechanisms during pre-registration for an eHRPD optimized handover. In one example, a UE may be equipped to detect one or more instances of failure during a pre-registration procedure as part of an optimized handover process. The UE may further be equipped to perform one or more pre-registration retry processes based on the detected one or more instances of failure. In one aspect, the one or more instances of failure may include any combination of a permanent LTE connection failure, a temporary LTE connection failure, a session negotiation failure, a virtual connection failure when bringing up a data call, a link control protocol (LCP) failure, etc.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communications, wherein distinct port partitions are assigned to processing entities on a user equipment device. Doing so provides the processing entities with concurrent access to the single PDN connection.
Abstract:
Systems, apparatus and methods for facilitating identification and/or acquisition of an access point are provided. Methods can include transmitting or receiving access point information (“API”) indicative of an identification of the access point (“AP”). The API can be provided at the AP through hardwiring or receipt of configuration information input by a user or transmitted to the AP by a network operator through Over-The-Air (“OTA”) signaling. The API can be computer-readable and, in some embodiments, the API can also be human-readable. The API can be transmitted on a paging channel from which user equipment (“UE”) can receive information. The frequency at which the API is transmitted can be fixed, dynamic and/or configurable. Upon receipt of the API, acquisition of the AP is attempted if the AP is determined to be a permitted AP.
Abstract:
In a method for managing quality of service (QoS) resources during handoff across communication systems having different grades of QoS awareness, an access terminal (AT) determines that handoff has occurred from a QoS unaware system to a QoS aware system. The AT also determines whether there are any allocated, unrequested QoS resources. If one or more allocated, unrequested QoS resources are identified, the AT requests that the QoS aware system release the one or more allocated, unrequested QoS resources. The AT also determines whether there are any requested, unallocated QoS resources. If one or more requested, unallocated QoS resources are identified, the AT requests that the QoS aware system allocate the one or more requested, unallocated QoS resources to the application.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which 1×CSFB for communication of SMS messages in an LTE environment may be avoided. An IWS may receive a paging request message from a MSC, wherein the paging request message includes a first SMS service option indicating communication of a SMS message using a first RAT. The IWS may avoid an ESR procedure by analyzing the first SMS service option in the paging request message. Further the IWS may establish a common channel connection between the IWS and a target UE using a second RAT, wherein the first RAT and the second RAT are different.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus initiates a process for reselection from a first network (e.g., C2K) to a second network (e.g., LTE) by performing a measurement on a frequency indicated in a neighbor list received from a first cell in the first network. The neighbor list includes information indicating at least one frequency associated with the second network. The apparatus creates a state (e.g., starts an EUTRAReselect timer) associated with the frequency based on the measurement. The apparatus moves (e.g., performs an idle HO) from the first cell to a second cell in the first network. The apparatus determines whether to maintain the state upon the move from the first cell to the second cell.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for policing traffic in communications systems are described herein. According to systems and methods herein, tokens are generated for a packet data network based on a peak transmission rate associated with the packet data network. Packets are selected for transmission over the packet data network based on availability of tokens.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods are described for establishing a connection to a subscriber access network, such as a 3G network, over and untrusted network, such as a wireless LAN. A stream ID is assigned to a mobile device upon initialization of the device, and the stream ID remains active until the device powers down, loses WLAN coverage, or de-registers with the network. Both voice and data calls may be routed over the tunnel using the assigned stream ID.
