摘要： Disclosed are systems, methods and computer program products for traffic volume reporting during radio access network (RAN) connection setup. In one aspect, the RAN broadcasts an indicator that it accepts traffic volume measurements (TVM) from access terminals (ATs) and an associated TVM threshold. An AT measures its traffic volume before requesting a connection with the RAN. If the traffic volume is above the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the measured traffic volume from the AT is above the threshold. If the traffic volume is below the threshold, AT transmits to the RAN a connection request containing a TVM indicator that the traffic volume is below the threshold.

摘要： Access terminals are adapted to receive cell selection instructions directing the access terminal to connect to a target cell from a serving cell upon a channel release. The access terminal may determine whether one or more signal parameters of the target cell are above respective threshold values. If the one or more signal parameters are above the respective threshold values, the access terminal connects to the target cell. If one or more signal parameters are not above the respective threshold values, the access terminal continues with the serving cell. Wireless network devices send a channel release message at the end of an active call. The channel release message can include a cell selection instruction directing the access terminal to connect to a target cell upon channel release. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

摘要： In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines that a client application has entered a period of transmission inactivity whereby the UE will not be required to transmit data on behalf of the client application. The UE selectively transmits a transmission inactivity notification to an access network (AN) to notify the AN of the transmission inactivity period. The AN receives the transmission inactivity notification and determines to transition the UE from a first state to a second state based at least in part on the received transmission inactivity notification, the second state associated with lower-power consumption of the UE than the first state. The AN sends instructions to the UE to facilitate the transition of the UE from the first state to the second state. In another embodiment, the AN can send instructions to the UE to prohibit the UE from sending transmission inactivity notifications.

摘要： User Equipments (UEs) can be adapted to enter into a lower RRC state from a higher RRC state, and search for one or more layers of higher priority within a predetermined period of time upon entering into the lower RRC state. According to at least one aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed irrespective of RF quality of a current serving cell. According to at least another aspect, this search for one or more layers of higher priority may be conducted within the predetermined period of time if a wait period has elapsed since the UE camped on the current serving cell. If the wait period has not elapsed since camping on the current serving cell, the search for one or more layers of higher priority may be performed within the predetermined period of time following a duration of the wait period.
