Abstract:
Mechanisms for performing unicast packet addressing and communication, e.g., in a C-V2X sidelink communication scenario, are provided. In one aspect, a method for wireless communication performed by a first wireless communication device includes receiving a source identifier associated with a second wireless communication device, and determining, based on the source identifier associated with the second wireless communication device and a deterministic function, a destination identifier. The destination identifier is different from the source identifier. The method further includes generating a packet comprising the destination identifier, where the destination identifier indicates a unicast packet, and transmitting the unicast packet to the second wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish connectivity to a local area network using cellular radio access technology (RAT). The UE may establish a signaling radio link with a cellular access node (AN) via a cellular RAT. The UE may transmit a connectivity request to a network node via the signaling radio link. The connectivity request may specify a connectivity type for establishing connectivity to a LAN. Based at least in part on an acceptance of the connectivity request, the UE may establish a data radio link with the cellular AN. In an example, the acceptance of the connectivity request may include at least one parameter for configuring the connectivity to the LAN. The UE may then establish a data flow for exchanging data link layer packets with the LAN via the data radio link.

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a wireless communication device, an indicator of current values of time and location obtained by the UE; receiving, from the wireless communication device, measurement data acquired at the wireless communication device and an acknowledgement of the indicator of the current values of time and location; and forwarding the measurement data and the acknowledgement of the indicator of the current values of time and location to a data collector. A method for wireless communication at a wireless communication device includes receiving, from a UE, an indicator of current values of time and location; and transmitting, to the UE, measurement data and an acknowledgement of the indicator of the current values of time and location.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving uplink communications of a machine type communication (MTC) device by relaying communications through a first device, such as a mobile device or user equipment (UE), to a second device, such as a base station or Evolved-NodeB (eNB). In an embodiment, a relay device may participate in a discovery process to discover an MTC device. The relay device may then receive data from the discovered MTC device, such as through a peer-to-peer link, and relay the data to a base station through a second communication link. In another embodiment, an MTC device may participate in a discovery process with a first device, such as a relay UE. The MTC device may then transmit data to the relay UE for relaying to a second device, such as a base station. In either case, the MTC device may receive data directly from the base station.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for improving uplink communications of machine type communication (MTC) devices. In some embodiments, an MTC device may perform a discovery operation on a first narrow frequency band, establish a first communication link with a discovered relay device on a second narrow frequency band, and transmit MTC data on the second narrow frequency band to the discovered relay device to be relayed to a third device on a second communication link on a broad frequency band. In another embodiment, a first device may participate in a discovery operation with a second device. The first device may establish a communication link with the second device on a first narrow frequency band and receive data from the second device on a second narrow frequency band. The first device may relay the data to a third device over a second communication link on a broad frequency band.

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 sustaining a link with a wireless network are provided. The apparatus communicates data with the wireless network via a first link with a first base station, acquires a resource to perform a beam training sequence with a second base station, wherein the acquired resource allows the beam training sequence with the second base station to be performed while the data is communicated via the first link, performs the beam training sequence and exchanging signaling information with the second base station using the resource to establish a second link to the second base station, evaluates a link strength of the second link based on the beam training sequence, and determines whether to switch the data communication from the first link to the second link based on the evaluation.
Abstract:
Opportunistic wide area network (WAN) connectivity for sensor devices with low transmit power, triggered by base station broadcasts, is disclosed that increases the likelihood of the data messages of the sensor devices reaching the base station. Multiple sensor devices within proximity to each other establish device to device links. When a sensor device successfully connects to the base station, the base station broadcasts an identification of the sensor device as a gateway. This can trigger a multi-hop forwarding scheme where sensor devices that receive the broadcast forward their data messages via the D2D links to other peers until their data messages reach the gateway sensor device. The gateway sensor device forwards data messages it receives to the base station, so that the base station receives data packets from multiple sensor devices via the gateway sensor device.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided for expedited Internet content delivery. For example, there is provided a method that involves receiving, at a communication device, a broadcast transmission outside of a spectrum allocated for Internet communications and outside of a spectrum allocated for real time programming content, wherein the broadcast transmission includes unsolicited content pushed to a group of such communication devices. The method may involve storing a portion of the unsolicited content, and receiving a request for content from a user. The method may involve providing the portion of the unsolicited content to the user, in response to the requested content matching the portion. The method nay involve determining whether the requested content is stored on another communication device of the group, in response to the requested content not matching the portion.
Abstract:
Embodiments describe synchronizing access routers with wireless terminal state information. According to an embodiment is a wireless terminal that transmits a message that includes an address for at least two access routers. State change information can optionally be included in the message. According to another embodiment is an access router that receives a state change notification from a wireless device or another access router. The state change notification is updated in the access router. An acknowledgment confirming the updated state change may be sent to the wireless terminal. Dynamic state synchronization is provided with minimal communication with wireless terminal.
