Abstract: An approach for reducing online charging for voice over LTE users when accessing a roaming network. Users can receive and make voice over LTE calls without allowing background applications to use the resulting bearer for data traffic such as firmware updates, social network applications and other periodic and aperiodic data traffic. This approach has a beneficial impact on charging costs when accessing roaming networks.

Abstract: A communication device and method for crowdsourcing of information from one or more communication devices. The crowdsourced information can be defined by one or more parameters defined in an operational framework. The operational framework can be, for example, an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) framework. The operational framework can include, for example, positional and/or movement information of the communication device(s), a signal quality of a communication network, a visibility duration of a communication network, data rate information of a communication network, and/or quality of service (QoS) information of a communication network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using geo-fencing techniques to assist in detecting mobile communication devices that are close enough to support direct communication. A mobile communication device can periodically report its geo-fence area to a central server. The server can determine whether to ask the communication device to report more precise geographic information (e.g., GPS information) based on whether another communication device eligible for direct communication is within the same geo-fence area.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to co-ordinate detection of incoming calls in a multimode dual-SIM single RF chain wireless communications device. Incoming voice over LTE calls cannot be detected by monitoring LTE paging messages. The method and apparatus described detect voice over LTE incoming call SIP signaling in one SIM while also perform paging monitoring for a circuit-switched call in another SIM in the dual-mode dual-SIM communication device. Using a duty cycle that alternates priority between LTE and circuit-switched monitoring ensures that no incoming voice call or text message will be missed.

Abstract: A device with concurrent long-term evolution (LTE) and WLAN uplink transmission includes a WLAN transceiver coupled to an LTE transceiver via an interface. The LTE transceiver includes an LTE Layer-1 module that determines whether an LTE data downlink activity is scheduled for an LTE downlink sub-frame of an LTE time frame, based on information in a first portion of the LTE downlink sub-frame. When determination is made that the LTE data downlink activity is not scheduled for the LTE downlink sub-frame, a message may be communicated through the interface to notify the WLAN transceiver that the second portion of the LTE downlink sub-frame is available for WLAN communication. The LTE time frame includes multiple LTE downlink sub-frames each including the first portion and a second portion. The first portion provides the information that indicates whether the LTE data downlink activity is scheduled for the second portion of that LTE sub-frame.

Abstract: A communication device and method for offloading one or more communications from a communication network to one or more other communication networks. The offloading can be controlled by one or more service providers that instruct the communication device to perform the handoff of communications. For example, the one or more service providers can generate one or more commands that instruct the communications device to scan for one or more networks, identify one or more networks, analyze one or more of the identified networks, generate one or more reports based on the analysis, and/or provide the generated reports to the service provider(s).
