Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may enter into an E-UTRAN Routing Area Paging Channel state, and is configured with an E-UTRAN Routing Area and an Anchor identifier to identify an anchor evolved Node B (eNB) for the UE. The UE selects to a new cell without performing a handover procedure, and performs a cell update procedure. The UE also may enter into a Cell Update Connected state, and is configured with an Anchor identifier. The UE selects to a new cell, performs a cell update procedure, performs a buffer request procedure, and performs a cell update procedure to download buffered data and to perform data transmission with the new cell.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of offloading traffic of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG). For example, some embodiments may include identifying a SCG bearer that is offloadable to the Internet via a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway, based on offloading information received from a Master Evolved Node B (eNB) (MeNB); and offloading uplink Internet Protocol (IP) packets of the SCG bearer to the Internet via the NAT gateway, if the SCG bearer is indicated to be offloadable.

Abstract: An apparatus of an Access and Mobility Function (AMF) comprises one or more baseband processors to process a request from a new AMF for a user equipment (UE) context transfer for a UE registered to the AMF via a first access type, wherein UE context transfer request includes an indication of a second access type for the UE to register with the new AMF, and to determine whether an entire UE context should be returned to the new AMF based on the second access type. The apparatus can include a memory to store the request.

Abstract: The techniques introduced here provide for network assisted device-to-device communication for peer-to-peer applications. The techniques include registering a user's peer-to-peer application identifier with a peer-to-peer application server, registering a user's peer-to-peer application ID with a device-to-device server, sending a peer-to-peer service request to the peer-to-peer application server, and receiving network assistance in discovering a peer with the desired P2P content/service and establishing a device-to-device communication arrangement for exchange of peer-to-peer services. The network assistance is provided over the user plane.
