    摘要: A user equipment (UE) is configured with a carrier aggregation (CA) functionality and UE connected to a network via a base station that serves as a primary serving cell (PCell) providing a primary component carrier (PCC) to the UE. The UE determines a plurality of bands that are supported by the UE for use in the CA functionality, generates an individual band information element (IE) including band information for the bands, determines at least one representative CA combination having an order, the order indicating a total number of component carriers (CCs), the at least one representative CA combination forming a basis to extrapolate a plurality of CA combinations having the order based on the band information, generates a representative CA combination IE including the at least one representative CA combination and transmits the individual band IE and the representative CA combination IE to the base station.

    摘要: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) switch for carrier aggregation (CA) for balancing between the UE power consumption and a latency of the UE. For example, the UE includes one or more transceivers configured to wirelessly communicate with a base station on a plurality of component carriers (CCs) in a carrier aggregated (CA) network. The UE also includes a processor communicatively coupled to the one or more transceivers. The processor is configured to perform a time domain bandwidth part (TD-BWP) switch on a first CC of the plurality of CCs when the UE and the base station are communicating on the first CC. The processor is further configured to perform the TD-BWP switch on a second CC of the plurality of CCs when the UE and the base station are communicating on the second CC.

    摘要: An apparatus, method and system for receiving an input indicating a mode into which to set a user equipment (UE) and at least one further UE associated with the UE, determining whether a connection circuit switched (CS) connectivity or packet switched (PS) connectivity and when the connection is the CS connectivity, generating a short messaging service (SMS) message that indicates the mode corresponding to the input. Also, receiving connectivity information for a plurality of UEs from a cloud network component, the UEs being associated with one another, the connectivity being CS connectivity or PS connectivity, receiving a response indication corresponding to a response performed on an incoming call by a first one of the UEs, the first UE having a PS connectivity, matching the response indication to a corresponding cause code and transmitting the corresponding cause code to a second one of the UEs having a CS connectivity.

    摘要: Devices and methods for handling phone calls. One device is a user equipment (UE) configured to establish a connection with a first evolved Node B (eNB). A method includes transmitting an invite signal to a further UE for a Voice over LTE (VoLTE) call, receiving an accept signal from the further UE, receiving a fail signal from the first eNB that a dedicated bearer is unavailable, generating a trigger signal in response to receiving the fail signal and transmitting the trigger signal to the first eNB. Another device is a base station (e.g., eNB) that receives a VoLTE call request from a UE, determines whether the eNB has sufficient resources to provide a dedicated bearer. When it is determined the eNB has insufficient resources, the eNB determines whether a further eNB has sufficient resources to provide the dedicated bearer, and determines whether the UE can connect to the further eNB.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein can mitigate transmitting latency to improve the quality of a voice or the video call. These systems, methods, and apparatuses reset a transmitting latency timer upon retrieving a packet from a transmitting buffer. Thereafter, these systems, methods, and apparatuses start the count of the transmitting latency timer as the packet is being processed. And these systems, methods, and apparatuses compare the transmitting latency timer e with a transmitting latency threshold as these systems, methods, and apparatuses are processing a packet for transmission. These systems, methods, and apparatuses can drop the packet and/or can select another packet for processing in response to the transmitting latency timer exceeding the transmitting latency threshold to mitigate the transmitting latency.

    摘要: A device and method for throttling carrier aggregation (CA) in a device connected to a CA enabled network. The method includes determining that a carrier aggregation state of the device is enabled by a network component of a CA enabled network to which the device is connected, determining at least one condition indicating that the carrier aggregation functionality is unnecessary, generating a throttling indication to indicate to the network that a secondary serving cell (SCell) providing a secondary component carrier (SCC) in the carrier aggregation functionality is to be disabled and transmitting the throttling indication to the network component.
