Abstract:
A plurality of neutral host network (NHN) deployments may share a common evolved packet core (EPC). When a plurality of NHNs share a common EPC, continuity and mobility may be facilitated for a user equipment (UE) when the UE moves between NHNs (e.g., because the NHNs share a common EPC). Accordingly, a UE may perform a tracking area update (TAU) procedure when moving between NHNs that share a common EPC. However, a UE may need to discover whether two NHNs share a common EPC in order to perform a TAU procedure. If the UE discovers that, when moving between a first NHN and a second NHN, the NHNs do not sure a common EPC, the UE may perform an attach procedure.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication includes establishing, by a mobile device, an access connection to a first mobile network for network connectivity of the mobile device to the first mobile network. The mobile device includes a first transceiver of a first radio access technology (RAT) type and a second transceiver of a second RAT type, where establishing the access connection comprises performing a plurality of connection setup procedures. At least one of the connection setup procedures is communicated with the first transceiver over the first RAT type and at least another one of the connection setup procedures is communicated with the second transceiver over the second RAT type.
Abstract:
Various aspects described herein relate to maintaining data continuity for a user equipment (UE). A request can be received at a first node of a first network from at least one of a second node of the first network or a second network to update a location of the UE. A type of the request can be determined based at least in part on an identifier in the request. The request can be acknowledged without instructing a third node of the first network or the second network to cancel a context of the UE based at least in part on the type of the request.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for modified power management for UEs in a wireless communication system that utilizes one or more RANs for communication. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a technique for controlling when the UE is placed in a low power state in the first RAN based, at least in part, on inactivity of the UE in the first RAN. Certain aspects of the present disclosure also relate to controlling when to modify one or more network bearers between the first RAN or the second RAN and the core network based, at least in part, on at least one of inactivity on the one or more network bearers or inactivity in both the first RAN and the second RAN. According to certain aspects, the first RAN may include a WWAN and the second RAN may include a WLAN.
Abstract:
The disclosure provides for a user equipment (UE) to change from a first network to a second network for an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) call. Initially, the UE has a connection to a first network providing an IP address for the UE. The UE may receive, via the first network, a message indicating an incoming IMS call. The UE may transmit one or more IMS call setup messages on the first network at an IP layer. The UE may change the connection from the first network to a second network that uses a same identifier for the UE (e.g., the IP address). The UE may complete setup of the IMS call on the second network using the same identifier for the UE.
Abstract:
A neutral home network (NHN) may support home-routed traffic between a user equipment (UE) and a network of a mobile network operator (MNO) associated with the UE. The NHN may transmit an access point name (APN) that indicates a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier (ID) to the UE. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an MNO PLMN ID. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the NHN may transmit an APN that indicates an NHN PLMN ID. From the APN, the UE may determine whether the NHN supports home-routed traffic. If the NHN supports home-routed traffic, the UE may transmit a packet data network (PDN) connectivity request to the NHN. If the NHN does not support home-routed traffic, the UE may establish a tunnel to the MNO network through Internet access provided by the NHN.
