Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed for determining context information for one or more peers to be used in a peer discovery and/or peer association process(es) and/or to otherwise facilitate P2P proximity communications. For example, a method for determining peer context information may include receiving a context-aware identifier (CAID). The CAID may include one or more items of context information associated with the peer in addition to an indication of an identity of the peer. A first portion of the CAID may be decoded to determine a first item of context information associated with the peer. The first portion of the CAID may be decodable without having to process a payload portion of the message. It may be determined whether to continue processing one or more of the CAID or the message based on the first item of context information. The CAID may be used in discovery and/or association procedure(s).
Abstract:
Embodiments contemplate wireless communication that may include sending machine type communication (MTC) application data from a services capability server (SCS) to an MTC user equipment (UE/WTRU) using a device trigger. The device trigger may be used to instruct an MTC device application to initiate communications with an SCS. Embodiments also contemplate that a first device trigger (DT) request may be received from a first wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a machine-type-communication inter-working function (MTC-IWF) may be determined in response to the first DT request. A second DT request may be sent to the MTC-IWF; and a first DT response may be received from the MTC-IWF. The first DT response may include a first information regarding a second WTRU.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities may implement service-based discovery in a network, such as a 3GPP or 3GPP2 network. A Discovery Server may be used to query and find services offered by the network or by entities that interface with the network. Situational context information or policy information, or both, may be communicated to the discovery server so that the Discovery Server can provide context-aware and policy-based discovery services. The Discovery Server may be used to control which of the entities that interface with the network can discover one another. The Discovery Server may support queries based on, for example, the type of MTC entity, the type of services hosted on the entity, the availability times of the entity, types of protocols supported, levels of Quality of Service (QoS) supported, and MTC-IWF services.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are described herein for configuration of background data transfers (BDTs) between local area data networks (LADNs). An apparatus may receive a message indicating a request from a user equipment (UE) for a data transfer of data originating from the UE. The apparatus may send, to a database, a request for subscription information associated with the UE and a policy profile associated with the UE to determine whether there is an existing BDT policy. The apparatus may receive, from the database, a response indicating whether there is an existing BDT policy that can be re-used. The apparatus may determine, based on the received response, a BDT policy for the data transfer and a LADN to service the data transfer. The apparatus may send, to the LADN via a radio access network (RAN) node, a notification message of an arrival time and data rate for the data transfer.
Abstract:
Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products of quantum measurement implemented by a device, the device configured to communicate with a client and with one or more servers, wherein the one or more servers comprise one or more quantum measurement physical equipment, the method comprising: receiving qubits from the client via a first quantum channel between the device and the client; performing a first qubit operation on the qubits to obtain transformed qubits; sending a first portion of the transformed qubits to the first server via a second quantum channel between the device and the first server; receiving, from the first server, information associated with first quantum measurement results of the first portion of the transformed qubits.
Abstract:
Procedures, methods, architectures, apparatuses, systems, devices, and computer program products that may be implemented in wireless communications. In one representative method, the WTRU may send one or more age of information (AoI) preferences for a traffic flow to a network entity, and the WTRU may receive one or more AoI rules for the traffic flow from the network entity. The WTRU may receive a packet associated with the traffic flow, and the received packet may include an indication of AoI of the packet. The WTRU may send one or more additional AoI preferences to the network entity, such as upon determining that any of the AoI preferences and/or AoI rules are not satisfied based on the indication of AoI. The indication of AoI may correspond to a processing state of the packet along a path in a network and/or to a time since the packet was created.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for negotiating “keep-alive” message frequencies of applications running on a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU). A node may include a negotiation and synchronization function (NSF) configured to collect information including frequencies of keep-alive messages required by application servers for different applications running on the WTRU, and send a keep-alive message frequency negotiation request message to the application servers to negotiate for a more proper frequency for each application on behalf of the WTRU. The node may further include a buffering and caching function (BCF) configured to cache and buffer application specific attributes including an indication of whether each of the applications needs to send periodic keep-alive messages to an associated application server. The node may be a packet data network gateway, a negotiation and caching gateway, or a serving gateway.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for data transmissions in a wireless network are disclosed. A first device may send a first frame to a second device including information regarding a number of pending data frames to be transmitted from the first device to the second device. The first device receives an acknowledgement frame including a number of approved data frames for transmission from the first device to the second device. The first device then may send a plurality of data frames without performing the contention-based channel access procedure in response to the acknowledgement frame. The first device may send a first frame to a second device for requesting data frames that are pending at the second device. The first device receives an acknowledgement frame including a number of pending and approved data frames. The first device may receive a plurality of data frames in response to the acknowledgement frame.
