Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a request to transfer data to a group of wireless communication devices within an area. Wireless base stations of a wireless mobility network are identified, responsive to the request, wherein the wireless base stations provide wireless communication services within the area, including a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) service. A wireless transmission is facilitated of a first broadcast message by the wireless base stations, wherein the first broadcast message identifies the group of wireless communication devices. The broadcast message is transmitted by way of the MBMS service of the wireless communication services. The first broadcast message initiates a state transition to an active state for a plurality of wireless communication devices of the group of wireless communication devices configured in an idle state. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving a first request for resource release associated with a communication device where the first request is received from a network node, storing tunnel identification information for a downlink tunnel associated with the communication device and the network node, providing a second request responsive to the first request, and marking the tunnel identification information as inactive responsive to the first request. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a server comprising a memory to store instructions and a controller coupled to the memory, in which the controller, responsive to executing the instructions, performs operations. The operations include detecting a condition requiring a migration of an active transport connection at a source server to a target server without interrupting communications occurring in the active transport connection. The source server is directed to transmit to the target server a migration command with state information from the source server to enable migrating the active transport connection to the target server without interrupting communications occurring in the active transport connection. A message is then received from the source server indicating the source server has received from the target server an acknowledgment that the migrating has been performed. Other embodiments are disclosed.
