Abstract:
A method for wireless communication, for example, accessing a wireless network via a network access node and determining whether the network access node is a frequented node or a non-frequented node based on an identifier for the network access node is provided. The method executes a modem function using a corresponding selected hypothesis having associated weights for each feature associated with the modem function, and being a unit sourced hypothesis or a crowd sourced hypothesis, each hypothesis corresponding to a modem function and including a plurality of features, state information and at least one trigger point. The method sends information, to a server, the information comprising a device identifier identifying the UE, the modem function, the selected hypothesis and associated weights, metrics for each feature and state information, if state information is available, in response to a trigger point being met when executing the modem function. Other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Various aspects and embodiments may provide seamless and resource efficient roaming for group call services on broadcast/multicast networks. In particular, upon a user equipment (UE) roaming or detecting an imminent move from a current Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to a Visited PLMN (VPLMN), an application server in a Home PLMN associated with the UE may determine whether to establish a multicast bearer in the VPLMN if the UE has pre-registered for group call services in the VPLMN and provide the UE with information about bearers that will support the group call services in the VPLMN. For example, the multicast bearer may be established in the VPLMN if a number of users actively participating in the VPLMN exceeds a threshold, or the group call services may alternatively be supported over unicast service only if the number of actively participating users in the VPLMN is below the threshold.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a UE obtains one or more quorum conditions for communication with a given group from a set of groups to which the UE is registered. The UE searches, over a P2P interface, to identify one or more group members that are registered to the given group and which are proximate to the UE. The UE determines whether the identified one or more group members are sufficient to satisfy at least one of the one or more quorum conditions. The UE selectively triggers a communicative action associated with the given group based on whether the determining determines the at least one quorum condition to be satisfied.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for improving voice over new radio (VoNR)-to-voice over long term evolution (VoLTE). An example method generally includes communicating with and camping on a next generation node B (gNB) in a 5G new radio (NR) system; initiating a voice call with the gNB; receiving a 5G NR-to-long term evolution (LTE) handover command in response to initiating the voice call; performing a handover procedure in response to the handover command; detecting a failure in the handover procedure; and taking one or more actions in response to detecting the failure in the handover procedure.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for optimizing real time services (e.g., such as a voice over Long Term Evolution (LTE) (VoLTE)) for devices with limited communications resources, such as machine type communication (MTC) devices and enhanced MTC (eMTC) devices. In one aspect, a UE determines a first configuration of subframes within at least one radio frame available for the UE and other UEs to use for bundled communications with a BS. The UE receives an indication of one or more subframes within the at least one radio frame that are unavailable for bundled uplink transmissions, and determines a second configuration of subframes to use for bundled communications based on the indication. The UE overrides the first configuration of subframes with the second configuration of subframes, and communicates with the BS using the second configuration of subframes. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Abstract:
Capacity limited devices may initiate real-time Internet protocol (IP) flows that may include voice data for voice calls. Talk-over patterns may be identified, and an IP flow may be modified based at least in part on the identified talk-over pattern. Such a modification of an IP flow may include, for example, dropping one or more downlink or uplink packets of the IP flow, modifying a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grant to suppress one or more uplink transmissions, or modifying a reliability target associated with the IP flow to reduce a number of redundant transmissions or number of retransmissions.
Abstract:
Improved methods, systems, devices, or apparatuses support header compression for reduced bandwidth wireless devices prior to an initial transmission that includes a real-time data payload. A data flow containing real-time multimedia data may be initiated between a UE and a base station. In order to enhance the likelihood of meeting data flow timing constraints, compression context may be established prior to a first transmission of a packet with a real-time data payload. The one or more initial transmissions may include a small payload, that is smaller than typical real-time data payloads, may be used to establish compression context for the data flow. When a packet with a real-time payload is to be transmitted, the transmission may use header compression and be transmitted in less time than a transmission without header compression.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to congestion control in a user equipment in connected mode including upon receipt of a trigger, using a register to determine if a data packet transmission has been initiated by an application associated with the UE, wherein the UE is in a connected mode; retrieving an Application-specific Congestion control for Data Communication (ACDC) category mapped to the application associated with the UE, wherein a mapping between the ACDC category and the application is performed a priori to a transition to the connected mode; retrieving at least one access control parameter based on the ACDC category; and determining if the application is allowed to perform the data packet transmission based on the at least one access control parameter.
Abstract:
The disclosure is related to group communications over multicast services. A user equipment (UE) sends a registration request to a server, the registration request indicating communications group(s) in which the UE is interested, receives a message indicating a set of the communications groups that have been assigned pre-established multicast resources, receives call identifiers, the call identifiers mapped to group identifiers of each communications group in the set of the communications groups, stores a mapping of the call identifiers to the group identifiers, and maintains group call sessions for the set of the communications groups. The server receives the registration request, determines that the UE is provisioned for pre-established group calls, retrieves group identifiers for the communications groups, maps call identifiers to the group identifiers, notifies the UE of the set of the communications groups and the mapped call identifiers, and assigns multiple group calls onto pre-established multicast resources.
Abstract:
Techniques for indicating and/or selecting a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) are disclosed. A method for selecting the MCS may comprise receiving control information, identifying a change indicator, determining a first MCS based on the control information, and modifying the first MCS based on the change indicator to determine a second MCS.
