Abstract:
There is provided a system, method, and interfaces for control plane device triggering for a Public Land Mobile Network Packet Data Network (PDN). The network is configured to employ triggering via a T6a interface for an originating Machine-type communication server request to a Service Capability Exposure Function Server to initiate a PDN connection for User Equipment.
Abstract:
A radio communication network includes: a control plane (C-plane) node (24) located in a core network (20); a local gateway (14) located in a Radio Access Network (RAN) (10) including a base station (11). The C-plane node (24) has a C-plane of a PDN gateway and provides a first C-plane interface for communicating with a PCC entity relating to Policy and Charging Control (PCC). The local gateway (14) has a user plane of a PDN gateway and provides IP connectivity to the base station (11) to offload a particular type of traffic. The local gateway (14) further provides a second control plane interface for communicating with the C-plane node (24).
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and media for automated discovery of amenities using environment signatures. In an embodiment, one or more environment signatures are received from a server application. A radio system is used to scan an environment of the mobile device to determine visible access point identifier(s). For each of the one or more visible access point identifiers, a signature is computed from the visible access point identifier, and the computed signature is compared to each of the one or more environment signatures.
Abstract:
In a cellular communications network having a radio access network of macrocells and small cells. A mobile device having a UICC/SIM card is configured to change its displayed network name and functionality in accordance with whether the mobile device has connected to a macrocell or a small cell. The displayed network name information is modified to inform the user about new services or data usage restrictions.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and system for distributing service data, wherein the method includes that a user terminal is authenticated and accesses a core network, a service data message sent by the user terminal is received, target address information contained in the service data message is acquired, and the service data message is distributed according to the acquired target address information.
Abstract:
A method in a access control node for selecting of a local gateway co-located with or near a home node is provided. The access control node receives (201) a connectivity request from a user equipment. The user equipment requests a local or remote connection to the home node. The access control node obtains (202) an access point name of the home node. The access control node selects the local gateway co-located with or near the home node by the action of sending (203) a domain name system query to a home node gateway associated with the home node, by addressing a domain name system server. The query comprises a request for an IP address of the local gateway that is associated with the obtained access point name. The access control node selects the local gateway co-located with or near the home node by the further action of receiving (204) a response from the domain name system server. The response comprising the requested IP address of the local gateway.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for reporting uplink control information (UCI) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a first and second component carrier (CC) is provided for a user equipment (UE). The first and second CC are configured with transmission mode (TM) 10 and TMs 1-9, respectively. A first channel state information (CSI) report for the first CC with TM 10 and a second CSI report for the second CC with at least one of TMs 1-9 are scheduled for transmission in a subframe. A collision is detected between the first and second CSI reports. Priority is assigned to the first CSI report or the second CSI report based on a prioritization parameter. The prioritized CSI report is transmitted based the prioritization parameter.
Abstract:
Embodiments of system, device, and method configurations for managing inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) mobility of handovers between a UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) or GSM EDGE Radio Access Network (GERAN) and an evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) to avoid scenarios of in-device coexistence (IDC) interference are disclosed herein. In one example, the existence and types of IDC interference with an E-UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE)/Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) network are determined and communicated to the UTRAN/GERAN in an IDC indication signal. The IDC indication signal may communicate the existence and type of IDC interference occurring at user equipment, such as between licensed LTE/LTE-A and unlicensed industrial scientific medical (ISM) radio frequency bands. Accordingly, the UTRAN/GERAN may use information provided from the IDC indication signal to prevent a handover to the E-UTRAN that would result in IDC interference.
Abstract:
Embodiments for signaling quality of service (QoS) requirements and user equipment (UE) power preference in LTE-A networks are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a power preference indication (PPI) is received at an eNB from a UE to set a power saving preference for the UE. A communication session is established using radio resource control (RRC) messages between the UE and the eNB to identify a preference for QoS configuration for handling traffic provided to the UE by the eNB. The QoS for traffic provided by the eNB to the UE is managed by the eNB based on the identified preference for QoS configuration for handling traffic provided to the UE.
Abstract:
in one aspect, the present invention provides a method for selecting a GGSN. The method may include obtaining a network address for a home agent; transmitting a request to a name server for a name associated with the network address; receiving from the name server in response to the request a name associated with the network address; initiating a GPRS attachment; and after initiating the GPRS attachment, initiating a PDP context activation, wherein the step of initiating the PDP context activation comprises transmitting the name to an SGSN, and the SGSN is configured to use the name to lookup an IP address of a GGSN.
