Abstract:
Local IP access paging schemes facilitate paging of an access terminal when packets destined for the access terminal are received via local IP access. In some implementations, a local entity acquires information that enables local paging of the access terminal by sniffing messages passing through the local entity. In some implementations, a local entity sends a packet or message to cause the core network to page an access terminal when a local IP access packet destined for the access terminal arrives at the local entity.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for confirming identity of a user equipment (UE) registered in both a wireless local area network (WLAN) and WWAN. A method is provided for wireless communications by a base station (BS). The method generally includes establishing communications with a first UE, wherein the UE is identified by a first set of one or more identifiers in a wide area wireless network (WWAN) and by a second set of one or more identifiers in a wide local area network (WLAN), and determining, based on the first and second set of identifiers, a UE connected to the WWAN and WLAN is the first UE
Abstract:
Network entities in a wireless network cooperate to account and charge for data communicated over the wireless network. Accounting and charging enable the network entities to properly allocate charges to a second user equipment that communicates through a first user equipment, which acts as a relay in the wireless network. A network entity receives a request from the first user equipment related to a packet data network connection relating to the second user equipment. The network entity establishes or modifies a connection between a gateway and the first user equipment in response to the request. Charges for the data may be allocated to the second user equipment for data communicated with the identifier of the second user equipment.
Abstract:
A multi-mode access point supports different radio access technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi and cellular) for serving multi-mode access terminals. To provide improved service for such an access terminal, the access point may redirect the access terminal from a first type of radio access technology to a second type of radio access technology under certain circumstances. A decision to invoke such a redirection may be based on, for example, at least one of: traffic conditions on the first type of radio access technology, traffic conditions on the second type of radio access technology, and whether a backhaul for the access point is currently a bottleneck for access point communication.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the described aspects relate to scheduling communications in wireless networks using traffic aggregation. A UE communicates with a first access point using a first RAT over a first connection to access a first wireless network, and with a second access point using a second RAT over a second connection. The UE can receive, from the first access point, one or more parameters for scheduling communications with the second access point. The UE can also schedule communications with the second access point based at least in part on the one or more parameters.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for passively and dynamically determining network timeout (NTO) values. The method may include adjusting an amount of delay applied to transmissions on an existing connection to a device in a network and determining how long the existing connection is allowed to remain idle before the existing connection expires based on the adjusting of the amount of delay applied to the transmissions on the existing connection.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communications. The apparatus generally includes at least one processor configured to associate with a wireless IP network, transmit to a base station, from the mobile device, a first routable address, establish a tunnel between the mobile device and the base station over a first data connection using the first routable address, and receive, packets from the base station over the wireless network using the tunnel; and a memory coupled to the processor.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to switching data paths in a wireless device having first and second processors. The wireless device may determine a change to a service, the service using a first data path including a first internet protocol (IP) stack on the first processor and lower layer processing on a wireless modem, the first data path providing a tunneled connection to the service through a network. The wireless device may establish a second data path for the service, the second data path including a second IP stack on the second processor including tunneling to the service through the network and the lower layer processing on the wireless modem. The wireless device may switch the service from the first data path to the second data path in response to establishing the second data path. The first processor may be placed in a power save mode.
