Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for synchronizing mobile station (i.e., wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU)) media flows during a collaboration session. Inter-WTRU transfer request messages, flow addition request messages and session update request messages may be exchanged between a plurality of WTRUs and a session continuity control application server (SCC-AS). Each of the messages may include a session description protocol (SDP) attribute line containing time synchronization information (e.g., a presentation time offset (PTO) information element (IE), a media flow group identity (ID) and a synchronization tolerance IE). The SCC-AS may update the time synchronization information and include the updated information in messages it sends to the WTRUs, which may re-synchronize their respective media flows based on the updated time synchronization information.
Abstract:
A method of Inter-User Equipment (UE) Transfer (IUT) for use in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) capable wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising: receiving, at the IMS capable WTRU, an IUT session transfer command from a non-IMS capable WTRU via non-IMS signaling; translating, at the IMS capable WTRU, the IUT session transfer command to an IMS based message; and transmitting, from the IMS capable WTRU, the translated IMS based message to a Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS).
Abstract:
A WTRU may receive a first data flow from a source device such as a correspondence node and perform a seamless IUT such that the correspondent node is unaware that the flow has been transferred to a different WTRU. The WTRU may register with a first home agent, wherein the first home agent receives a plurality of messages addressed for a home address. The home agent may forward the messages to the WTRU at a first care-of-address. The WTRU may send a binding update to the first home agent. The binding update may comprise a second traffic selector and a second action. The second action may specify that a second message of the plurality of messages is to be forwarded to a different WTRU when the second message matches the second traffic selector.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are provided to determine routing associated with a short message. A SMS-SC may send a first routing request to a home subscriber server (HSS). The first routing request may be associated with the short message. The SMS-SC may receive a first routing reply. The first routing reply may include one of an indication that the short message is associated with a service capability server (SCS) or a first control plane routing associated with the short message. The SMS-SC may send the short message to an SCS serving node. The first routing reply may include the indication that the short message is associated with a service capability server (SCS). The SMS-SC may send a second routing request to a SCS subscription database. The SMS-SC may receive a second routing reply from the SCS subscription database, which may indicate a second control plane routing for the short message.
Abstract:
A method of Inter-User Equipment (UE) Transfer (IUT) for use in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) capable wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising: receiving a registration request from a non-IMS capable WTRU; translating the registration request to an IMS based message; transmitting the translated IMS based message to a Service Centralization and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS), transmitting an IUT transfer command, transmitting an IUT process message; receiving an IUT process-accept message; and establishing an IMS session between the non-IMS capable WTRU and the remote party.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for triggering a machine type communication (MTC) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) is disclosed. An MTC WTRU receives a message that indicates control period configuration information associated with an extended discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle. The MTC WTRU monitors a paging channel during a control period. The MTC WTRU connects, in response to receiving a paging message during the control period, to an MTC server and transmits data to the MTC server.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for sponsoring service and preferential traffic handling, (i.e., data connectivity) by wireless transmit/receive units (WTRUs). A first WTRU may initiate user sponsoring of a second WTRU via an application server (AS). The first WTRU may receive a service trigger from the AS and forward the service trigger to the second WTRU. The second WTRU may then initiate a sponsored session with the AS using the service trigger in order to receive a service from the AS. The first WTRU may also request the AS to transfer a credit to the second WTRU. The AS may establish a direct communication link with a charging system including an online charging function (OCF) and a charging data function (CDF). The AS may send a request to a network to provide preferential traffic handling needed to deliver content to the second WTRU.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for performing Inter-User Equipment Transfer (IUT) across any internet protocol (IP) based network. This framework allows for preparation, execution and completion of data transfer at a target device through registration with a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) and receipt of an IUT request. The target device receives and stores an IP address or a source device. The IP address is used to transmit session information.
Abstract:
A method comprising: a Service Centralized and Continuity Application Server (SCC AS) receiving, from a first WTRU, a collaborative session request to replicate a media flow to a second WTRU; the SCC AS authorizing the request; the SCC AS allocating a media resource at a media resource function (MRF) for the media flow; the SCC AS establishing a second-WTRU access leg; the SCC AS updating a first-WTRU access leg for the first WTRU; and the SCC AS updating a remote leg to communicate the replicated media flow to the MRF, wherein, unless the remote party rejects the replication of the media flow, the media flow then flows from the remote party to the MRF, from the MRF to the first WTRU, and from the MRF to the second WTRU.
Abstract:
Techniques for inter-user equipment (UE) transfer (IUT) are disclosed. An application server may receive an IUT request for transfer of a media session toward at least one initial UE such that the media session is to be played by at least two target UEs. The server may determine eligibility for IUT with group synchronization based on the request. The server may send a message to the initial UE that IUT with group synchronization is not allowed on a condition that IUT with group synchronization is not allowed. Further, the server may trigger inter-destination media synchronization (IDMS) for group synchronization of media sessions among the UEs on a condition that IUT with group synchronization is allowed. The media sessions may include a first media session and second media session. The media stream may be played by at least two UEs that are geographically separated after the transfer.
