摘要:
Techniques are provided for peer-to-peer (P2P) service provisioning. For example, there is provided a method, operable by a network entity, that may involve determining a set of region-specific parameters for use in the P2P service in a coverage area. The method may involve providing the set of the region-specific parameters to at least one user equipment (UE) for configuration of the at least one UE for the P2P service, in response to the at least one UE entering the coverage area. In related aspects, the set of the region-specific parameters may include RF parameters, service discovery parameters, connection establishment parameters, and/or security parameters
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for network controlled mobile IP flow movement. An infrastructure node, such as a home agent, signals a mapping between care-of-addresses (CoAs) and flows to be transmitted from a mobile device in uplink communications. The CoA associated with each flow is determined from network, device, and/or flow information. A mobile node or mobile gateway receives the mapping and updates its local policy information. When a selected flow is to be transmitted in an uplink transmission, the local policy information is used to determine the CoA associated with the selected flow. The CoA is then used to determine an access network (or access path) on which the uplink transmission of the selected flow is to occur.

Systems and methods for quality of service control over multiple accesses, more particularly quality of service control over multiple accesses via enhanced quality of service rules. A policy rules and charging function, or similar network entity, can include an indicator in a set of quality of service rules that instructs an access gateway to either setup the quality of service resources/initiate bearer setup immediately, or store the quality of service rules until a request for the quality of service resources s received from the UE or another predetermined event occurs.
摘要:
A method apparatus, processor, and computer program product for wireless communication, including employing a communication interface to obtain a binding update message from a mobile node (MN). A data process is employed to analyze the binding update message for a network address of a corresponding node (CN). A communication interface is employed to initiate a long-life secure association between the CN and a network agent serving the MN if the binding update message contains the network address of the CN, wherein the long-life secure association enables the MN and CN to participate in a route optimized (RO) mobile communication session. The method may include employing a data processor to generate a binding cache entry for the network entity or a network component serving the network entity, wherein the binding cache entry includes a security key that facilitates a route optimized communication session with the network entity or the network component.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for allocating a data flow based on selection criteria including receiving at least one policy including at least one indication for selecting an access from two or more of available accesses; determining a selection criterion based on the data flow; and selecting the access based on the determined selection criterion and the at least one indication. In one example, the selection criterion is one of the following: a bandwidth requirement for the data flow, an application generating the data flow, a protocol used to carry the data flow, a file size, an application name/ID, a role ID, or a throughput of the data flow. In one example, the policy is a management object (MO) received from an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) module and the selected access is for a wireless local area network (WLAN), a LTE network or for a 3GPP service.
摘要:
A communication network includes at least one mobile terminal and a plurality of home agents to supply communication services to the mobile terminal. In the network, an authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) platform is configured for reallocating the supply of the communication services to the mobile terminal from a first home agent to a second home agent of the plurality.

In-band provisioning enables subscribers to manually provision themselves via an access point at which the subscribers would not otherwise be allowed access. For example, a subscriber may be temporarily accepted by a restricted access point (e.g., an access point that belongs to a closed subscriber group). The subscriber is then given limited access to enable the subscriber to be provisioned at the access point. For example, the subscriber may be provisioned for full access at the access point if the subscriber presents a valid authorization credential to a provisioning entity.

摘要:
Local breakout is provided by one or more nodes (e.g., a local access point and/or a local gateway) in a wireless network to facilitate access to one or more local services. In conjunction with local breakout, multiple IP points of presence relating to different levels of service may be provided for an access point. For example, one point of presence may relate to a local service while another point of presence may relate to a core network service.
摘要:
An apparatus and method for facilitating prefix allocation and advertisement or delegation in a wireless communication system, including receiving a signal from a client to indicate that the client will function as a router; and prompting a server to not allocate a prefix to a link between the server and the client and to not advertise said prefix to the client. In one aspect, the apparatus and method further includes allocating a first prefix to a user equipment (UE), receiving an indication that the UE is a router; and either a) reserving a second prefix for the UE wherein the second prefix is shorter than the first prefix; or b) calculating the second prefix for the UE wherein the second prefix includes a portion of the first prefix.
