Abstract:
An apparatus operable in a communication system and having the capability to discard an internet protocol address is described. The apparatus is configured to receive an assignment of a first internet protocol address of a first type for a first application and a second internet protocol address of a second type for a second application for a data connection to a network. The apparatus is also configured to determine that the apparatus is currently not able to handle both the first internet protocol address and the second internet protocol address. The apparatus is further configured to determine an internet protocol address to discard, and discard the determined internet protocol address.
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:
A method for optimizing data retry mechanisms is described. The method includes attempting to originate a data call on an evolved high rate packet data system. The method also includes determining that originating the data call has failed. A type of failure that caused the data call to fail is determined. The frequency of data call origination attempts is reduced based on the type of failure.
Abstract:
Architecture for performing WLAN offload in a wireless device is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes an application section configured to form IP packets from data to be transmitted, a modem section configured to apply a cellular protocol to the IP packets to form cellular protocol packets, an endpoint configured to encapsulate the cellular protocol packets to form outer IP tunnel packets, and a WLAN interface configured to transmit the outer IP tunnel packets over a WLAN communication channel. In another exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a WLAN interface configured to receive outer IP tunnel packets over a WLAN communication channel, an endpoint configured to extract cellular protocol packets from the outer IP tunnel packets, a modem processor configured to remove a cellular protocol from the cellular protocol packets to form IP packets, and an application processor configured to extract received data from the IP packets.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and apparatus described herein include features that enable efficient management of keep-alive messages utilized to maintain IP addresses and/or PDN connections associated with idle data traffic channels. An access terminal may consolidate keep-alive messages for idle data traffic channels, reducing the number of keep-alive messages transmitted. An access terminal may select which idle data traffic channels to maintain, and may transmit a consolidated keep-alive message for associated IP addresses and/or PDN connections. Timers may be associated with PDN connections and sub-timers may be associated with IP addresses associated with a PDN connection. Keep-alive messages can be consolidated based on the timers, sub-timers and/or combination of timers and sub-timers. In a complementary method, a PDN gateway or other network node cooperates with access terminals to reduce network traffic. In another complementary method, the PDN gateway or other network node synchronizes the timers and/or sub-timers provided with an access terminal.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for avoiding conflicts between evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Services (eMBMS) operations and paging and/or mobile originated (MO) operations in communication systems. A method for wireless communications by a user Equipment (UE) is provided. The method generally includes identifying at least one evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS) session available for receiving one or more eMBMS services from a base station. The method also includes taking one or more actions to reduce a conflict between receiving the one or more eMBMS services from the base station and receiving a paging message from the base station during the eMBMS session. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for preventing loss of IP continuity when transitioning between networks. Certain aspects provide methods that generally include initiating a first timer upon attempting to transition from a first RAT network to a second RAT network during an IP session and initiating a second timer if a channel in the second RAT network is successfully acquired. According to aspects, a device may transfer context of the IP session to the second RAT network if a session is successfully negotiated in the second network prior to expiration of the second timer and the first and second networks share a common core network for IP services.
