    摘要: A user equipment (UE) device may communicate according to a new device category satisfying specified QoS (quality of service) requirements while also satisfying specified link budget requirements, and additional optimization requirements. The new device category may identify the UE device as a wearable device. According to some embodiments, LTE category M may be extended to support non-MTC operations performed by wearable devices. For example, the new device category may support UE mobility and may disallow access barring. Additional extensions may be implemented in response to an indication by the UE that the UE is implementing a specific application, such as VoLTE or a near real-time application, such as audio streaming. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE indicating a specific QCI value. In some scenarios, the indication may include the UE attaching to a specific APN.

    摘要: A user identity module (UIM) is incorporated in user equipment such as a mobile phone or mobile device. The UIM is configured to provision itself while roaming away from a home network as follows. The UIM may: send to the UE a request for information identifying a current radio access technology (RAT) that the UE is camped on; receive the current RAT information from the UE; send to the UE a request for network location information, where the network location information identifies a network in which the UE is currently camped; receive the network location information from the UE; generate an access point name (APN) using the current RAT information and the network location information; and open a channel through the network to a remote agent (e.g., a provisioning server) using the access point name.

    摘要: A device, e.g. a wireless communication device may obtain information associated with private cellular networks from a provisioning server. The information may provide an indication of coverage area(s) of available private cellular network(s). The device may communicate over a commercial cellular network, and determine, based at least on the information, whether the device is located within the coverage area of any available private cellular networks. The device may connect to a first private cellular network (FPCN) of the available private cellular networks and switch from communicating over the commercial cellular network to communicating over the FPCN at least in response to the determination indicating that the device is located within the indicated coverage area. The device may disconnect from the FPCN in response to a determination that the signal level of the FPCN is below a specified value and the device is not using a wallet garden application.

    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.
