    Abstract: A wireless communication system is presented for robust mobility management in a HetNet communication system. A source cell can prepare a macro cell and a target small cell as handover candidates during handover decision making and/or preparation. The mobile device is informed about the prepared macro cell and target small cell using radio resource control (RRC) messaging. After receiving a handover command or detecting radio frequency (RF) loss, the mobile device can try to connect with the target small cell. If the mobile device is unable to connect to the target small cell, the UE can fall back and connect to the macro cell.

    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: Methods and systems are disclosed for performing seamless voice call handover and data handoff between a cellular network and a non-cellular (e.g., Wi-Fi) network, by a link budget limited user equipment device (UE) in standalone mode. The cellular radio may be maintained in a non-communication mode when not in use, to prevent power and peak power issues that may be unique to link budget limited devices. In response to poor non-cellular performance in support of a voice call, the UE may transition the cellular radio from the non-communication state to an online state. If the cellular network indicates that packet-switched calls are supported, then the UE may initiate handover of the voice call to the cellular network. Various methods for seamless handoff of data communications are also disclosed, in both the presence and the absence of a voice call. Various metrics are disclosed to enhance handoff determinations.
