Abstract:
Methods for automated profile selection on a carrier-locked computing device may include detecting carrier profiles stored on an electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) and enabling use of the computing device with a carrier profile that satisfies a carrier personalization policy in response to identifying an active carrier profile that violates a carrier personalization policy. The methods may enable use by automatically deactivating any active carrier profile that violates the carrier personalization policy and automatically activating an inactive carrier profile that satisfies the carrier personalization policy.
Abstract:
The disclosure generally relates to dynamic cell reselection to improve device-to-device (D2D) communications where two or more D2D peers are camped onto different cells and one or more D2D peers are located in an overlap region between the cells. For example, in various embodiments, the D2D peers may exchange one or more communication parameters over the (inter-cell) D2D connection and detect that the D2D peers are camped on different base stations (i.e., attached to different cells) based on the exchanged communication parameters. The D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region may then obtain measurements on the neighbor cell and a forced cell reselection may be triggered at the appropriate D2D peer(s) located in the cell overlap region such that the D2D peers are camped on the same base station, thereby converting the inter-cell D2D connection into an intra-cell D2D connection that can be more easily maintained.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for sharing network feedback information. The method may include establishing, at a first access terminal, a wireless link with an access point, receiving network configuration data from the access point, composing a network feedback expression that indicates a status or availability of at least one network service associated with the access point, and transmitting the network feedback expression to a second access terminal via a D2D link.
Abstract:
A method for improving device-to-device (D2D) communication in an LTE-Direct communication system includes exchanging communication information between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE over an LTE-Direct connection with a first network resource of a first set of network resources allocated to the first and second UEs by a base station for the LTE-Direct connection. The method also includes determining, by the first UE, whether a first link quality of the LTE-Direct connection with the first network resource is below a link quality threshold. If so, the LTE-Direct connection is shifted to another network resource of the first set of network resources until an LTE-Direct connection is established that has a link quality that is equal to or greater than the link quality threshold.
Abstract:
Allocation failures may occur on a network during handovers. Therefore, a user equipment (UE) may include a configurable timer that is configured to begin once an allocation or grant is revoked or a quality-of-service (QoS) condition is unsatisfied. A UE may be configured to wait for an allocation or grant or may be configured to elicit an allocation or grant. During a network connection, a UE may determine that the allocation or grant is unreceived before expiration of the configurable timer. Based on the determination that the allocation or grant is unreceived before expiration of the configurable timer, the UE may transit a session initiation protocol (SIP) re-invite message in order to allow a network to bring up dedicated bearers for the network connection.
Abstract:
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may pair with a second device via a wireless connection. The apparatus may also open an application on the first device. In one aspect, the application may include at least one of an audio segment or a video segment. In addition, the apparatus may route a signal associated with the at least one of the audio segment or the video segment to the second device via the wireless connection. Further, the apparatus may determine that the second device is unable to output the at least one of the audio segment or the video segment for a threshold time period. The apparatus may output the at least one of the audio segment or the video segment of the application on the first device when the threshold time period is reached.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a system, method, and apparatus for implementing an intelligent Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) procedure that avoids unnecessary scanning of an unlicensed or shared spectrum, and hence offers efficient power utilization for user equipments (UEs). In one aspect, one or more UEs may periodically identify at least one of a current operating frequency, a mode of operation, and the public land mobile network (PLMN) associated with the UE to determine whether the UE is operating in a DFS channel. Based on the above-identified factors, the UE may determine whether the UE is actively scheduling uplink data transmission on the DFS channel, and thus dynamically enable or disable the DFS scanning procedures on the unlicensed or shared spectrum.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for receiving data and one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data from a remote user equipment (UE), buffering the data and the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data, transmitting the data to a base station, receiving at least one negative acknowledgement, relating to the data, from the base station indicating an unsuccessful reception of the data; and transmitting, in response to receiving the at least one negative acknowledgement, at least one of the one or more redundant equivalent versions of the data to the base station.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may determine whether at least one frequency band, designated for device-to-device communication of the user equipment, is associated with an active SCC of the user equipment; and selectively perform the device-to-device communication using a particular communication chain of the user equipment based at least in part on whether the at least one frequency band is associated with the active SCC, wherein the particular communication chain is tuned to the at least one frequency band for communication using the active SCC. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
A method for reestablishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection on a second subscription upon completion of a voice call on a first subscription for a multi-subscriber identity module (SIM) multi-standby (MSMS) mobile communication device, includes: starting a voice call timer at the start of the voice call on the first subscription; stopping the voice call timer upon completion of the voice call on the first subscription; determining an elapsed time of the voice call on the first subscription based on a value of the voice call timer; and determining whether the elapsed time of the voice call on the first subscription is greater than a value of a network connectivity timer.
