Abstract: Voice over LTE (VoLTE) services may be provided to a roaming mobile device, even when the home network of the mobile device does not provide VoLTE service. In one implementation, one or more devices in a network may determine based on a mobile device attaching to a network as a roaming device for the network, a home network of the mobile device. The devices may further determine whether the home network, associated with the mobile device, provides VoLTE services; transmit, based on the determination that the home network does not provide VoLTE services, a VoLTE client application to the mobile device, the VoLTE client application providing functionality, for the mobile device, relating to usage of VoLTE services in the network. The devices may further communicate with the mobile device and the VoLTE client application, to provide one or more VoLTE services to the mobile device.

Abstract: A reporting server receives reports on content items being accessed by a plurality of UE devices through a first multicast/broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN). The reporting server determines, for each content item being accessed, which of the UE devices is accessing the content item. The UE devices are then grouped by the accessed content items such that at least one content item is accessed by a first group of UE devices and not accessed by a second group of UE devices. The reporting server then sends data representing the first and second groups to a broadcast video provisioning system (BVPS) with a recommendation to split the MBSFN into second and third MBSFNs. In another implementation, the reporting server receives reports from fourth and fifth MBSFNs and recommends joining the fourth and fifth MBSFNs to form a sixth MBSFN if broadcast bandwidth requirements are met.

Abstract translation: 报告服务器通过第一多播/广播单频网络（MBSFN）接收由多个UE设备正在访问的内容项目的报告。 对于正在被访问的每个内容项目，报告服务器确定哪个UE设备正在访问该内容项目。 然后，UE设备被所访问的内容项目分组，使得至少一个内容项目被第一组UE设备访问，并且不被第二组UE设备访问。 然后，报告服务器将表示第一组和第二组的数据发送到广播视频供应系统（BVPS），建议将MBSFN分为第二和第三MBSFN。 在另一实现中，报告服务器从第四和第五MBSFN接收报告，并建议加入第四和第五MBSFN以形成第六MBSFN，如果满足广播带宽要求。

Abstract: A device receives a pilot channel from an access network, without connecting to the access network. The pilot channel includes information identifying an actual usage associated with the access network. The device determines whether the actual usage of the access network is greater than a particular usage associated with the access network, and selectively connects to the access network based on whether the actual usage of the access network is greater than the particular usage. The device connects to the access network, to provide data to a core network, when the actual usage of the access network is not greater than the particular usage. The device does not connect to the access network when the actual usage of the access network is greater than the particular usage.

Abstract: The re-transmission of transmission units (TUs) received in a communication device over a communication link is controlled to improve the information carrying capacity of the link. A received TU has an associated service characteristic indicative of a quality of service (QOS) for the TU. The service characteristic is associated with a select set of key performance indicators (KPIs), such as measures of packet error, packet delay, packet delay variation, and/or packet loss experienced by TUs on the communication link. Upon receipt of a TU, the performance of the communication link is evaluated with respect to each KPI in the select set to obtain a corresponding measurement value, and the measurement values are compared to corresponding threshold values. Upon determining that a determined performance value does not satisfy a corresponding threshold value for a KPI in the select set, re-transmission of the TU is requested.

Abstract translation: 控制通过通信链路在通信装置中接收的传输单元（TU）的重传以提高链路的信息承载能力。 所接收的TU具有指示TU的服务质量（QOS）的相关服务特征。 服务特性与通信链路上的TU经历的一组关键性能指标（KPI）相关联，例如分组错误的测量，分组延迟，分组延迟变化和/或分组丢失。 在接收到TU时，针对选择集中的每个KPI评估通信链路的性能以获得相应的测量值，并将测量值与相应的阈值进行比较。 在确定确定的性能值不满足选择集中的KPI的相应阈值时，请求TU的重传。

Abstract: One or more devices may be configured to store jurisdiction information that associates each of a plurality of base stations with at least one jurisdiction. The one or more devices may establish a session, between a first base station and a user device, that uses a frequency. The one or more device may record handover information based on the first base station handing over the session to a second base station. The handover information may indicate an amount of data used while the session is hosted by the first base station. The one or more devices may determine a particular jurisdiction associated with the first base station based on the jurisdiction information. The one or more devices may cause a particular rights holder to be compensated for use of the frequency based on the amount of data used while the session is hosted by the first base station.

Abstract: A method for determining a Quality of Service (QoS) policy can be based on requested bandwidth. The method may initially receive a connection request which includes a requested bandwidth that corresponds to an application. The method may then determine a policy for an application data flow associated with the application based on the connection request. A bandwidth designation, which is based on the requested bandwidth, may be assigned to the application data flow based on the determined policy. Finally, the policy and the bandwidth designation may be provided so that a bearer can be assigned.

Abstract: A device may receive a packet that includes priority information that is based on a priority assigned to bits included in the packet. The priority may be assigned based on scalable code used to encode the bits for transmission. The device may determine that an indicator of network congestion satisfies a threshold, and may schedule the packet for transmission to a user device based on the priority information and the determination that the indicator satisfies the threshold.
