Abstract:
Systems and techniques for information centric network (ICN) heterogeneous wireless switching are described herein. A handover event, that includes an indication for a device to switch from a first wireless link to a second wireless link, may be detected. A forwarding interest base (FIB) table may be modified to route interest packets to the second wireless link. Although the device has switched to route new out-going interest packet to the second wireless link, the device accepts data packets on both the first wireless link and the second wireless link.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises a network interface and a processor. The processor is to: receive, via the network interface, a plurality of data streams to be routed over a network, wherein the plurality of data streams correspond to sensor data captured by a plurality of sensors; identify, from the plurality of data streams, a set of related data streams that are contextually related; identify a convergence function to be performed on the set of related data streams, wherein the convergence function is for transforming the set of related data streams into a converged data stream that is smaller in size than the set of related data streams; perform the convergence function to transform the set of related data streams into the converged data stream; and route, via the network interface, the converged data stream to one or more corresponding destinations over the network.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for initiating discontinuous reception (DRX) operation in a user equipment (UE) are disclosed herein. Applications running on the UE are monitored by the UE to identify one or more inactivity trigger events associated with the application(s). The UE includes an application-radio cross layer to process the application information, including the inactivity trigger event, for use by a radio layer. The radio layer of the UE determines initiation of the DRX operation in accordance with the application information, including the inactivity trigger event, provided by the application-radio cross layer and device characteristics information.
Abstract:
Briefly, in accordance with one of more embodiments, a fixed device synchronizes with a downlink channel of a network, acquires a master information block including a last system update time; and executes cell selection without acquiring other system information if the last system update time is before the last system access time. Furthermore, the fixed device may listen only for system information block messages that it needs, and ignore other system information blocks. A bitmap may indicate which system information block messages should be listed to for fixed devices, and which may be ignored. In some embodiments, one or more system information blocks may be designated for fixed devices.
Abstract:
Technology for communicating a small data set between a user equipment (UE) and an evolved node B (eNB). A channel condition of a downlink channel with the eNB may be determined at the UE. A channel condition indication based on the channel condition may be communicated to the eNB. The small data may be transmitted to the eNB using a signaling radio bearer (SRB) when the channel condition is greater than a selected threshold.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe devices, methods, computer-readable media and systems configurations for managing state transitions of communication circuitries in wireless networks. Embodiments manage radio resource control (RRC) state transitions and/or discontinuous reception (DRX) state transitions. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
An embodiment of methods and user equipment are disclosed. Once such method includes a user equipment transmitting preferences for Flow-to-RAT mapping to a base station of a network. The user equipment may receive a Flow-to-RAT mapping from the base station that specifies a particular RAT to be associated with a particular Flow.
Abstract:
Embodiments of an enhanced Node B (eNB) and method to provide system information (SI) updates to user equipment (UE) in sleep or idle mode with an extending paging cycle are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a paging message configured to include an optional field to indicate whether there has been a system information (SI) update since a last paging occasion for a UE in sleep or idle mode with an extending paging cycle. System information updates are transmitted by the eNB during a system information modification period that is shorter than a period the extending paging cycle. The optional field may indicate whether or not the UE is to acquire the latest SI update during the current paging occasion.
Abstract:
A method and system for reducing signaling overhead during radio resource control (RRC) state transitions is disclosed. The method can include a first wireless device saving a selected RRC parameter in a memory. The selected RRC parameter can be identified based on a low frequency in which the selected RRC parameter changes. The first wireless device can set an RRC resource parameter retention timer to count a retention time duration for using the selected RRC parameter saved in the memory. The first wireless device can receive a reduced RRC connection message from a second wireless device. The reduced RRC connection message excludes the selected RRC parameter. The first wireless device can use the selected RRC parameter saved in the memory for the RRC parameter excluded in the reduced RRC connection message when the RRC resource parameter retention timer is not expired. The selected RRC parameter can be used in a RRC connection protocol.
