    Abstract: A method for offloading data traffic from a cellular connection to a WLAN connection via a wireless P2P connection is disclosed. The method can include the wireless communication device accessing offloading coordination information from an offload coordination service server, including information about at least one neighboring wireless communication device being within sufficient proximity of the wireless communication device to establish a wireless P2P connection and having access to a WLAN access point; using the offloading coordination information to select a relay device from the at least one neighboring wireless communication device; establishing a wireless P2P connection with the relay device; and offloading data traffic from the cellular connection to the wireless P2P connection so that the data traffic is relayed from the relay device to a network via a WLAN access point accessible to the relay device.

    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for performing handover of a mobile station (MS) between a base station (BS) and an access point (AP) are described. In one embodiment, the MS may receive one or more threshold values for reporting measurements to the BS. The MS may convert the threshold values to device-specific threshold values. The MS may determine one or more network quality values associated with the AP. The MS may compare the network quality values to the device-specific threshold values. In response to the network quality values exceeding the device-specific threshold values, the MS may convert the network quality values to calibrated network quality values. The MS may provide the calibrated network quality values. The MS may perform handover from the BS to the AP based on providing the calibrated network quality values to the BS.

    Abstract: Device-to-device (D2D) communications in conjunction with carrier aggregation. A base station (BS) may coordinate D2D communication between two wireless user equipment (UE) devices. A primary cell may be configured for communicating with each of the UEs. A secondary cell may be configured for D2D communication between the two UEs. The primary cell and the secondary cell may utilize different component carriers. Additionally, cross-carrier scheduling may be used, such that at least some control information for the secondary cell is communicated via the primary cell.

    Abstract: A method for redundant transmission of real time data is provided. The method can include an edge node in a wireless network sending a first RTP packet including a first real time data frame to a second edge node. The method can further include the edge node determining that a radio link condition is sufficient to support redundant transmission of real time data to the second edge node. The method can additionally include the edge node, in response to determining that the radio link condition is sufficient to support redundant transmission of real time data, bundling the first real time data frame with a next sequential real time data frame that has not been previously sent to the second edge node in a second RTP packet at a PDCP layer of the edge node; and sending the second RTP packet to the second edge node.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for adaptive C-DRX Management. A wireless device and a cellular base station may establish a cellular link. According to some embodiments, the base station may monitor upcoming traffic with the wireless device. Based at least in part on the upcoming traffic for the wireless device, the base station may provide a command indicating to the wireless device to enter C-DRX. The command may further indicate to the wireless device a number of C-DRX cycles through which to remain in a low power state.
