Abstract: A method to speed up uplink data access during a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration procedure is proposed. UE first sends an RRC request, and in response receives an RRC reconfiguration message from BS. UE then decodes the RRC reconfiguration message and performs reconfiguration. UE also waits for UL grant for transmitting RRC reconfiguration complete with UL data if available. In one embodiment, BS provides the UL grant in a common search space while UE is performing the reconfiguration, and UE does not need to wait the UL grant until after the reconfiguration is done. In other words, the reconfiguration and the UL grant occurs in parallel, which reduces access delay for UL data. In an alternative embodiment, BS provides UL grant in RRC reconfiguration message, so that UE does not have to receive UL grant while performing the reconfiguration.

Abstract: A method of supporting group communication over LTE MBMS is provided. A UE first establishes a unicast bearer in a network for group communication. The UE belongs to a communication group having a communication group ID. The UE receives access information from the network for monitoring downlink (DL) multicast traffic of the DL group communication based on a multicast decision. The UE is then ready for monitoring a multicast Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) bearer for receiving the DL multicast traffic. In one embodiment, The UE requests to switch the DL multicast traffic from the multicast MBMS bearer to the unicast bearer upon detecting that the UE is approaching an MBMS coverage boundary. In another embodiment, the UE transmits an indication of preferred target cells to the network before performing a handover and thereby maintaining multicast service continuity of the group communication.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method that includes receiving a measurement configuration message indicating a predetermined number. A measurement event is defined based on the predetermined number of signal beams from a serving base station and the predetermined number of signal beams from a neighboring base station. The method also includes identifying a first number of best signal beams from the serving base station and a second number of best signal beams from the neighboring base station, where the first number and the second number are equal to or less than the predetermined number. The method further includes determining whether the measurement event occurs based on the first number of best signal beams from the serving base station and the second number of best signal beams from the neighboring base station, and sending a measurement report when the measurement event occurs.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for UE to report preference indication and other UE assistance information to the network is proposed. In a first embodiment, the UE transmits a power preference indication to the network with a prohibition mechanism for optimal DRX configuration. A first level of prohibition is applied if the UE indicates preferring power-saving mode, and a second level of prohibition is applied if the UE indicates preferring normal mode. In a second embodiment, the UE transmits two-level speed information to the network. The two-level speed information is mapped from MSE mobility states based on a mapping rule. In a third example, the UE transmits RRC release assistance information to the network. The assistance information is based on both cell change count and RRC state transition count so that RRC inactivity time can be determined to reduce signaling overhead.

Abstract: A method of supporting group communication over LTE MBMS is provided. A UE first establishes a unicast Evolved Packet Service (EPS) bearer in an LTE network for group communication. The UE belongs to a communication group having a communication group ID. The UE receives access information from the network for monitoring downlink (DL) multicast traffic of the DL group communication based on a multicast decision. The UE is then ready for monitoring a multicast Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) bearer for receiving the DL multicast traffic. In one embodiment, The UE requests to switch the DL multicast traffic from the multicast MBMS bearer to the unicast EPS bearer upon detecting that the UE is approaching an MBMS coverage boundary. In another embodiment, the UE transmits an indication of preferred target cells to the network before performing a handover and thereby maintaining multicast service continuity of the group communication.

Abstract: A method of uplink shaping and scheduling request (SR) prohibition in RRC Connected Mode is proposed. A UE applies DRX operation in a wireless network, the UE is in RRC Connection mode. The UE processes a data packet to be sent to the network. The data packet is associated with a traffic type. If the data packet belongs to a normal traffic type, then the UE transmits a scheduling request (SR) to the network. If the data packet belongs to a background traffic type, then the UE buffers the data packet and is prohibited from sending the SR to the network until a triggering condition is satisfied. By reducing the activity of uplink transmission, UE power consumption is improved and signaling overhead is reduced.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for TCP bufferbloat resolution. In one novel aspect, the TCP client monitors a TCP throughput, determines a TCP throughput stability based on a changing rate of the TCP throughput, adjusts a RWND size dynamically based on the determined TCP throughput stability, and sends the dynamically adjusted RWND size to the TCP server for flow control. In one embodiment, the TCP throughput is stable if the changing rate of an increase or decrease of the TCP throughput is smaller than a threshold, otherwise, the TCP throughput is unstable. The TCP client decreases the RWND size if the TCP throughput is stable, otherwise the TCP client increases the RWND size. In one embodiment, the increase of the RWND size uses the default RWND size adjustment method and the decrease of the RWND size is further depending on the increasing or decreasing state of the TCP client.

Abstract: A method of extended DRX paging includes a base station that transmits extended DRX configuration information and a User Equipment (UE) receives the extended DRX configuration from the base station. The UE determines a first number of frames that are included in a hyper-frame based at least in part on the extended DRX configuration information and selects a hyper-frame number. The hyper-frame number is based at least in part on the extended DRX configuration information. The UE maintains a hyper-frame count and the hyper-frame count is incremented after each hyper-frame. The UE then goes into sleep mode and the UE determines a wake up time before a standard DRX cycle that occurs during the selected hyper-frame. The UE may also determine a first wake up time and a second wake up time based on the selected hyper-frame number and synchronization error between a first cell and a second cell.

Abstract: Concepts and examples pertaining to uplink-assisted mobility procedure in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink (UL) signaling configuration from a source base station (BS) of a wireless network. The UE may periodically transmit a UL reference signal, which are measured by the source BS, in response to receiving the UL signaling configuration. The UE may receive a handover command from the source BS. The UE may also perform a handover procedure with a target BS in response to receiving the handover command from the source BS.

Abstract: A UE initiates an MMTEL service in RRC Idle mode in a mobile communication network. The UE acquires access control information from a base station. The access control information comprises SSAC configuration information, ACB parameters information, and ACB bypass information. The ACB bypass information indicates whether ACB is applicable to MMTEL service type. The UE then performs SSAC check for the MMTEL service based on the access control information. The UE also performs ACB check for the MMTEL service if ACB is applicable to the MMTEL service. Otherwise, the UE bypasses the ACB check for the MMTEL service. The selective ACB mechanism can prioritize or deprioritize services based on operator's requirement.
