Abstract:
A UE receives a list of neighboring cells of a serving cell serving the UE, and a list of SAIs. The list of neighboring cells may be included in a first system information message and the list of SAIs may be included in a second system information message. The first and second messages may be the same message, e.g., SIB15, or may be different messages SIB4/SIB5 and SIB15. The list of SAI includes those SAI supported by at least one of the serving cell and the neighboring cells. At least one of the SAIs is formatted to include mapping information that maps the SAI to one or more of the neighboring cells included in the list of neighboring cells. The UE processes the at least one SAI to determine the one or more neighboring cells that support the SAI.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices of the various embodiments enable the use of a broadcast bearer (such as a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (“MBMS”) bearer), unicast bearer, or both a unicast bearer and a broadcast bearer to deliver content to a receiver device. In various embodiments, network policy governing delivery of one or more service or one or more classes of services via a unicast bearer and a broadcast bearer may be provided to one or more devices in the network. In various embodiments, network policy may be applied to the unicast or broadcast delivery selections of a service to control use of a unicast bearer and/or the broadcast bearer to provision the service.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus configures a set of MBSFN subframes to include one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements. The one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements correspond to each of one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies for broadcasting eMBMS services. The apparatus sends one or more measurement parameters to a UE. The measurement parameters identify the one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements, and a MBSFN area ID corresponding to each of the one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies. The measurement parameters may further identify a MCS level corresponding to each of the one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies.
Abstract:
The various embodiments enable a mobile device to determine the available services in a broadcast network based on an augmented coverage configuration file. In the various embodiments, the augmented coverage configuration file correlates the services for overlapping cells on different frequency carriers enabling the mobile device to determine the available services without having to scan additional frequency carriers.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a mobile device may receive configuration information, associated with configuring a state of the mobile device, via a unicast transmission, and may access a header-compressed broadcast transmission using the configuration information received via the unicast transmission. In some aspects, a network entity may transmit configuration information, to facilitate decompression of a header-compressed broadcast transmission, via a unicast transmission to a mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices, and may transmit the header-compressed broadcast transmission to the plurality of mobile devices in accordance with the configuration information.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines a timing of each of one or more audio transmissions of one or more audio segments through Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) streaming via a first radio access technology (RAT), where the MBMS streaming includes the one or more audio segments and one or more video segments. The apparatus refrains from tuning away from the first RAT to a second RAT during at least one audio transmission of the one or more audio transmissions, the second RAT being different than the first RAT.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus determines that a file of interest is transmitted within a service, determines a failure to download the file of interest, and triggers a repair procedure of the file of interest at a time corresponding to an end of a file delivery event, wherein the time is derived from one or more information elements included in broadcast schedule description.
Abstract:
A system and methods for determining whether to participate in reception reporting procedures for an eMBMS service. Multiple applications on a receiver device can consume the same file download or streaming eMBMS service, and can have conflicting opt in/opt out settings for reporting in middleware. Algorithms are provided that take into account the different opt statuses of applications, and allow middleware components to determine whether to log reception metrics for a service and/or whether a reception report should be uploaded after a service session of the service.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) may be configured to join a group call, which may include mission critical (MC) data. The UE may be configured to receive, through a broadcasted group discovery channel (GDCH), a list of group call services and corresponding session description protocol (SDP) information for establishing the group call services. The UE may be configured to determine at least one group call service of the group call services to receive. The UE may be configured to establish the at least one group call service based at least in part on the corresponding SDP information received through the broadcasted GDCH.
Abstract:
A first UE receives a request for a service from an application running on a second UE or an application running on the first UE. The second UE is different than the first UE. The request for the service is a request for a set of files/streams through an MBMS service. The first UE attempts to receive the set of files/streams through the MBMS service from one of a base station or a third UE. The first UE sends a reception report including at least one of a reception acknowledgement or a statistical report associated with the set of files/streams. The at least one of the reception acknowledgement or the statistical report associated with the set of files/streams includes an identifier associated with at least one of the second UE, the third UE, the application running on the second UE, or the application running on the first UE.
