Abstract:
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for Internet resource sharing between multiple subscribers, for example, a first subscriber and a second subscriber, each of which may be in active communications with a cellular network or in a standby mode. It may be determined whether to use an internet connectivity provided by the first subscriber for an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service on the second subscriber. The second subscriber may conduct the IMS service via internal hotspot provided by the first subscriber or via the second subscriber's own cellular network, or switch between the two. A packet data network connection may be established to transport IMS data and signaling between the second subscriber and a gateway of the second network through the first network.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for excluding a measurement gap duration from an inactivity timer period. An example method generally includes maintaining an inactivity timer used to track a number of time intervals during which no downlink transmission is received by the UE; and excluding time intervals occurring during a measurement gap when updating the inactivity timer.
