Abstract:
A wireless local area network (WLAN) point-to-point communications link between an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network node B (eNB) and a user equipment device (or simply UE) is identified by UE/eNB media access control (MAC) identifiers on a per UE or per data radio bearer (DRB) basis for offloading cellular data from a long term evolution (LTE) link to the WLAN point-to-point communications link. A wireless local area network tunneling protocol (WLTP) includes packet formats and network protocol stack arrangements to support functions facilitated by the WLAN point-to-point communications link, such as, for example, identification of control and data traffic messages, DRB identification for WLTP packets, quality of service (QoS) delay and packet loss measurement, support of bearer splitting, and support of a general framework for offloading cellular traffic at different depths of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) network protocol stack.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for switching internet protocol (IP) flows from a first communication path to a second communication path are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) may include an exchange component, a session component, and a communication component. The exchange component exchanges second communication path availability information between the UE and another UE by sending and receiving session initiation protocol (SIP) messages that include second communication path availability information over the first communication path. The session component changes the communication session by re-routing traffic flows to the second communication path based on the exchanged second path availability information. The communication component sends to and receives from the other UE data corresponding to an IP flow over the second communication path.
Abstract:
A user equipment (UE) operable to communicate in a peer to peer (P2P) network is described. The UE can encode a proximity detection request for transmission to a ProSe server in an Evolved Packet Core (EPC). The proximity detection request can include one or more of: a time period window parameter, identification information of a second UE, or a proximity detection signal indicating when the proximity detection request is for proximity detection of the second UE. The UE can decode a proximity alert message received from the ProSe server in accordance with the time period window parameter.
Abstract:
A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to communicate in a device to device (D2D) network. A proximity detection request can be communicated to an evolved packet core (EPC). The proximity detection request can include a window parameter, an identification information of a second UE, and a proximity detection signal indicating whether the proximity detection request is for proximity detection of the second UE or for establishing a D2D connection with the second UE. A proximity alert message can be received from the EPC at the window parameter.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses, systems and/or methods of securing communication between awareness networking devices. For example, an apparatus may include logic and circuitry configured to cause a first Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) device to discover a second NAN device according to a NAN discovery scheme; transmit to the second NAN device a first message signed with a signing key of the first NAN device, the first message comprising a first public security key of the first NAN device and a first public verification key of the first NAN device; process a second message received from the second NAN device, the second message signed with a signing key of the second NAN device and comprising a second public security key of the second NAN device and a second public verification key of the second NAN device; determine a session security key, based on the first and second public security keys; and establish a secure session with the second NAN device using the session security key.

Abstract:
A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to communicate in an ad-hoc wireless multicast communications network is disclosed. Another UE can be selected to send a request to send (RTS) control frame to. The RTS control frame can be communicated to the other UE. The RTS control frame indicates that the UE requests to send a multicast data frame. A clear to send (CTS) message can be received from the other UE, indicating the UE is clear to send the multicast data frame. The multicast data frame can be transmitted by the UE to a selected group of UEs.
