Abstract:
Quality of service may be enhanced for high priority traffic. A UE may communicate within a packet switched system, e.g., an LTE network. The UE may use a first or default bearer for signaling messages of high priority services and a second bearer for messages of low priority services. For example, the first bearer may have a quality of service class identifier (QCI) value of 5 while the second bearer may have a QCI value other than 5, (e.g., 6-9). The first bearer may be used for signaling messages associated with voice over IP, video over IP, and/or SMS over IP, as desired. The second bearer may be used for messages (e.g., signaling messages) associated with other, lower priority services. For example, the second bearer may be used for presence messages or instant messages or other lower priority messages.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to providing proximity services (ProSe) registration, proximity request, proximity alert, proximity request cancellation, and deregistration handling between a wireless device and a ProSe function of a cellular core network using session initiation protocol. According to some embodiments, a wireless device and a ProSe function of a cellular core network may exchange SIP signaling messages to register and de-register the wireless device for cellular network assisted proximity services. The wireless device and the ProSe function may further (while the wireless device is registered) exchange SIP signaling messages to request proximity alerts, provide proximity alerts, and request cancellation of proximity alert requests.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to reducing or mitigating no-service delays for LTE capable wireless devices which do not have permission to access one or more LTE networks. According to some embodiments, a MME of a first PLMN may receive an LTE NAS request corresponding to a tracking area from a wireless device. The MME may determine to reject the request, and may send a rejection response to the request indicating that access to the first PLMN in the tracking area according to LTE is not available to the wireless device. The rejection response may further include extended cause information relating to whether or not the wireless device is permitted to access the first PLMN in other tracking areas according to LTE.
