    摘要: Aspects generally relate to a priority mechanism for handing potentially conflicting triggers related to offloading rules and RAN aggregation. As described, a UE may receive, from a BS, configuration information for RAN aggregation of one or more data bearers and offloading rules for WLAN offloading. The UE may determine a priority for communicating using the RAN aggregation and offloading rules based, at least in part, on the received configuration information. The UE may perform the RAN aggregation or the WLAN offloading according to the offloading rules based on the determined priority. The priorities may be established in an effort to generally give priority to RAN aggregation over offloading rules and/or give priority to UE-specific instructions over broadcasted instructions.

    摘要: Systems and techniques are disclosed to facilitate the sponsored connectivity of a user equipment on a serving network so that the UE may access a service whose connectivity is sponsored by an application service provider. The application service provider provisions the serving network so that it is aware of the sponsored connectivity. In an attach attempt to the serving network, the UE provides a client token based on a pre-existing credential (established between the UE and the application service provider) instead of a subscriber identifier with the attach request. The application service provider's server validates the access credential to authenticate the UE and provides information that the serving network uses to mutually authenticate with the UE. The UE may then use the serving network to access the service via the sponsored connection, even where the UE does not have a subscriber identity and subscription with a cellular network.

    摘要: In an aspect, a network supporting a number of client devices may include a network device that establishes a security context and generates a client device context. The client device context includes network state information that enables the network to communicate with the client device. The network device generates one or more encrypted network reachability contexts based on the client device context, and transmits the one or more encrypted network reachability contexts to a network entity. The one or more encrypted network reachability contexts enable the network device to reconstruct the context for the client device when the network device receives a message to be transmitted to the client device from the network entity. As a result, the network device can reduce an amount of the context for the client device maintained at the network device in order to support a greater number of client devices.

    摘要: Techniques are described for traffic volume determination and reporting by an access node and/or a node of a core network in a wireless communications system. One or more wireless connections may be established with a user equipment (UE) to serve one or more streams of traffic using a first cell and a second cell, which may have different cell characteristics. A first traffic volume for the UE may be determined based on traffic volume served over the first cell, and a second traffic volume for the UE may be determined based on traffic volume served over the second cell. A charging data record may be generated based on the first traffic volume and the second traffic volume. Traffic volume served over the first cell then may be charged at a different rate that traffic served over the second cell.

    摘要: A system and method for mobility tracking of user equipment in a network includes a user equipment. The user equipment includes an antenna for receiving and sending signals to a plurality of network nodes in a network and a processor coupled to the antenna. The processor is configured to broadcast, using the antenna, a pilot signal to advertise the user equipment, receive, using the antenna, a pilot response from a first network node acting as a serving node for the user equipment, and communicate with the network through the serving node. The pilot signal includes a reference sequence for the network nodes to track followed by a payload including information about an identity of the user equipment. In some embodiments, the reference sequence varies based on a state of the user equipment. In some embodiments, the reference sequence is randomly selected.
