    Abstract: Method, device, and system being performed by a first station. The method includes receiving a first call identification of a first communication session between the first station and a second station. The method further includes receiving a request, from a third station, to allow the first communication session to be transferred from the first station to the third station. Following the receipt of the request, the method includes displaying a prompt on the first station for permission to allow the first communication session to be transferred to the third station and, when the permission is received, transmitting a response, to the third station, granting permission to transfer the first communication session from the first station to the third station. Additionally, upon the call being transferred, an advisory, such as an audio or visual message, may alert the second client station of the call transfer event.

    Abstract: An apparatus, method and system for receiving an input indicating a mode into which to set a user equipment (UE) and at least one further UE associated with the UE, determining whether a connection circuit switched (CS) connectivity or packet switched (PS) connectivity and when the connection is the CS connectivity, generating a short messaging service (SMS) message that indicates the mode corresponding to the input. Also, receiving connectivity information for a plurality of UEs from a cloud network component, the UEs being associated with one another, the connectivity being CS connectivity or PS connectivity, receiving a response indication corresponding to a response performed on an incoming call by a first one of the UEs, the first UE having a PS connectivity, matching the response indication to a corresponding cause code and transmitting the corresponding cause code to a second one of the UEs having a CS connectivity.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to wireless connection management for an accessory device. A companion device and the accessory device may establish a wireless link. The companion device may associate with a Wi-Fi access point. The companion device may determine whether the Wi-Fi access point supports access by the accessory device to a wide area network. The companion device may determine whether to provide association information for the Wi-Fi access point to the accessory device based at least in part on whether the Wi-Fi access point supports access by the accessory device to the wide area network. The companion device may monitor whether the Wi-Fi access point continues to support access by the accessory device to the wide area network, and may indicate to the accessory device to disassociate with the Wi-Fi access point if the Wi-Fi access point no longer supports access by the accessory device to the wide area network.
