Abstract:
Embodiments for providing an architecture for WebRTC to access Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a non-IMS user equipment (UE) is provided along with an Application Signaling Interworking Function (ASIF) co-located with the non-IMS UE. The non-IMS UE is arranged to send a register message to the ASIF for registering the non-IMS UE with an IMS core. The ASIF is arranged to translate the register message from the non-IMS UE to IMS-based signaling and to register the non-IMS UE with the IMS core using the register message translated to IMS-based signaling.
Abstract:
Technology for reporting radio access network (RAN) user plane congestion (UPCON) is disclosed. In an example, a core network (CN) device can include computer circuitry configured to: receive an UPCON event report using an UPCON container that includes a congestion situation indicator to indicate a UPCON situation; and change an UPCON process based on the congestion situation indicator. The core network device can include a mobility management entity (MME), a serving gateway (S-GW), a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), a policy and charging enforcement function (PCEF), a policy and charging rules function (PCEF), a serving general packet radio service (GPRS) support node (SGSN), a gateway GPRS support node (GGSN), an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF), an operation and maintenance (O&M) subsystem, an UPCON server, a proxy, or a standalone function entity.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for allocating resources (e.g., an IP address, a TEID) for a user plane node in a network providing wireless communications. A serving gateway (SGW) control plane (SGW-C) node of a core network can allocate a resource for a SGW user plane (SGW-U) node. The SGW-U can allocate a resource and communicate to the SGW-C. A packet data network gateway (PGW) control plane (PGW-C) node can allocate a resource for a PGW user plane (PGW-U). The PGW-U can al locate a resource and communicate to the PGW-C.

Abstract:
Technology for facilitating circuit switched fallback (CSFB) for a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. A mobility management entity (MME) can receive an optimized CSFB capability indicator from the UE. The MME can receive a requested service type associated with the UE. The MME can initiate a single radio voice call continuity (SR-VCC) handover of the UE to a circuit switched network based on the optimized CSFB capability of the UE. The MME can send an S1 application protocol (S1-AP) request message to an evolved node B (eNB). The S1AP message can include the optimized CSFB capability indicator and a single radio voice call continuity (SRVCC) indicator for the UE. The MME can receive a handover required message from the eNB.
Abstract:
Technology for reducing user plane congestion is disclosed. An inquiry request message can be received at a mobility management entity (MME) from a congestion information collection function (CICF). The inquiry request message can request an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) and a packet data network (PDN) connection identifier (ID) associated with user equipments (UEs) that are impacted by radio access network (RAN) user plane congestion. The IMSI and the PDN connection ID that are associated with the UEs can be identified based in part on the inquiry request message. An inquiry response message that includes the IMSI and the PDN connection ID can be sent to the CICF to enable the CICF to discover an assigned policy and charging rules function (PCRF) for the UEs that are impacted by the RAN user plane congestion, wherein the PCRF is configured to implement network policies to reduce the RAN user plane congestion.
Abstract:
A User Equipment (UE) device or network system facilitates a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) procedure to enable fallback from a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to a circuit switched domain network. A network device or a UE can operate to skill skip an authentication procedure during CSFB procedures and shorten a call setup time. A key access security management entity (KASME) is acquired. An extended service request message is communicated, or received, to originate the CSFB process from a first network of a first network device to a second network of a second network device in response to a mobile originating call or a mobile terminating call. A plurality of circuit switched (CS) key parameters is derived from the KASME, and the CSFB procedure is generated based on the plurality of CS key parameters.
Abstract:
Embodiments of wireless communication devices and method for congestion control in a wireless network are generally described herein. Some of these embodiments describe a method, performed by an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), that includes operations of determining that a congestion condition exists on the network. An example method can also include transmitting a suspension notification to a user equipment (UE), the UE being in an RRC_CONNECTED state with the eNodeB, to notify the UE that a radio bearer (RB) operating in the network will be suspended. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, when UPCON congestion is detected, service data flows (SDFs) may be adjusted to account for the problem and to avoid denial of service. In accordance with some embodiments, a priority scheme may be implemented in which certain users or certain types of data are given priority and in some cases maximum bit rates (MBRs) may be imposed for either particular users or certain types of data. Once the congestion alleviates, regular service data flows may be again permitted.
