Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. In one configuration, the apparatus is a target UE. The target UE communicates an expression of the target UE to a serving entity, receives a page initiated from the serving entity for communicating with an initiator UE, and communicates securely with the initiator UE based at least on the page. In one configuration, the apparatus is a serving entity. The serving entity receives a first expression from a target UE, receives a second expression from an initiator UE, and sends a page to the target UE upon determining that the second expression matches the first expression.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a first base station (e.g., corresponding to, associated with, or included in a first cell) includes receiving location information from a vehicle; identifying, based at least in part on the location information, a plurality of cells from which to broadcast a location message associated with the vehicle, where the plurality of cells include at least a cell of a second base station; and communicating with at least the second base station regarding a broadcast of the location message. A method for wireless communication at a vehicle include transmitting location information from the vehicle to a base station on an access stratum (AS) layer, and transmitting location message information to the base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide for yield management models for dynamically pricing access to wireless communication services. In some examples, access to a network is intermediated by a surrogate access point, which may act as a proxy or relay, expanding communication services to client devices that otherwise may lack a subscription, or may lack a suitable communication interface, to communicate directly with the wireless network. Here, the surrogate access point may be a subscriber device or user equipment. By utilizing the yield management model, the surrogate access point may receive compensation for sharing its connection to the network with nearby client devices. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are describe for signaling protocols for proximity service functions in a wireless communication system. A first wireless device may identify a wireless relay requirement associated with the first wireless device. A proximity service protocol may be initiated between the first wireless device and a second wireless device based at least in part on the identified wireless relay requirement. The proximity service protocol may be initiated prior to an initiation of a communication data exchange between the first wireless device and the second wireless device. A relay link may be established, via the ProSe protocol, between the first wireless device and the second wireless device based at least in part on the identified wireless relay requirement.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems are described for conveying location information from an announcing user device to a listening user device engaged in ProSe discovery communications. The announcing user device may use a first expression to broadcast an initial announcement, and then use a second expression to broadcast the location of the announcing user device. The first expression may be in the form of a public expression while the second expression may be in the form of a private expression.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with use of expressions with D2D communications in a LTE based WWAN. In one example, a MME is equipped to receive a request from a first UE to establish a communication link with a second UE based on a first expression pair, determine whether the UEs can use a first context associated with previously used expression pair, and provide information associated with the first context to the first UE. In another example, a UE is equipped to send a connection request, to its MME, to establish a communication link with a second UE based on a first expression pair, receive at least a portion of information associated with a first context between the UEs based on a previously used expression pair, and establish the communication link with the second UE using the received information.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for providing policy control and charging for device to device (D2D) services. A network entity transmits, to at least one mobile entity, configuration data including device-to-device data, and receives, from the at least one mobile entity, an accounting report associated with device-to-device communication. The network entity transmits, to a charging function entity, a charging report based on the accounting report received from the at least one mobile entity. A policy control function entity performs a policy control and enforcement based at least on the accounting report received from the at least one mobile entity.
Abstract:
Aspects describe spectrum authorization, access control, and configuration parameters validation. Devices in an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer configuration can utilize a licensed spectrum if the devices are authorized to use the spectrum, which can be determined automatically. Aspects relate to distribution of authorization tickets by an authorization server as a result of validating a device's credentials and services to which the device is entitled. An exchange and verification of authorization tickets can be performed by devices as a condition for enabling a validated wireless link using the spectrum.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe indicating per-packet quality of service (QoS) in communications by a wireless communications device. A packet from an application generated for a first radio access technology (RAT) can be obtained, where the packet includes a first QoS value associated with the first RAT, and/or the first QoS value can be mapped to a second QoS value associated with the second RAT. In another example, the QoS value can be indicated in the packet along with a reflective indicator indicating to use the QoS value in transmitting a response to the packet.
