    Abstract: Devices and methods of enhanced coverage (EC) paging are generally described. An evolved Node-B (eNB) may transmit multiple EC paging messages to user equipment (UE) over at least one paging cycle. Each EC paging message may contain the same paging information. The UE may combine the individual EC paging messages to achieve a predetermined link budget and subsequently may decode the EC combined paging message to determine whether the combined paging message is directed to the UE. The EC paging messages may contain information for more than one UE and a legacy P-RNTI or a specific P-RNTI for EC mode UEs. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in legacy occasions over several paging cycles or non-legacy paging occasions over one or more paging cycles. The EC paging messages may be transmitted in continuous or non-continuous subframes in a particular paging cycle.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for transition between idle and connected modes are disclosed herein. The eNB may receive uplink data packets from a User Equipment (UE) using a lightweight Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection between the eNB and the UE. The eNB may transmit an RRC connection release message to the UE to indicate a transition of the UE to an RRC idle mode for the RRC connection. The RRC connection release message may include an indicator of whether the UE is to store context information for the RRC connection. The eNB may further receive additional uplink data packets according to the stored context information using a lightweight RRC connection.

    Abstract: Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) arranged for transmitting packets in a cellular network are disclosed herein. The UE can generate a first packet having a first packet classification information and a second packet having a second packet classification information. The first packet classification information can be associated with a different quality of service (QoS) requirement than the second packet classification information. The UE, using a packet filter, can determine, based on the first packet classification information, a first traffic flow from a plurality of traffic flows in a traffic flow template (TFT) for transmitting the first packet. Additionally, the UE can determine, based on the second packet classification information, a second traffic flow from the plurality of traffic flows for transmitting the second packet. Subsequently, the UE send the first packet to the first traffic flow and the second packet to the second traffic flow.
