Abstract:
User Equipment (UE) may skip the Access Class Barring (ACB) procedure for specific services, such as MMTEL voice, MMTEL video, and SMS. In one implementation, NAS layer of a UE may: receive, from an upper layer relative to the NAS layer, a request for a particular service type that is being originated by the UE; receive an indication, from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the UE, that access to a cell, associated with the UE, is barred; and bypass the indication that access to the cell is barred, when the particular service type matches a predetermined set of service types. The bypassing may include: requesting that the RRC layer establish an RRC connection for the service request, and notifying the RRC layer that the request for the RRC connection corresponds to the particular service type.

Abstract:
Embodiments of system and method configurations for providing provisioning information to a mobile device via a wireless network access point are generally described herein. In some examples, a communication session is established between a mobile device and a service provider to obtain provisioning information for wireless network connectivity via a designated access point (e.g., a “hotspot”). A HTTP session is established within the communication session to exchange registration information via a browser of the mobile device. Provisioning information is returned within the communication session in a Subscription Management Object (MO) in response to successful completion of the HTTP session. The subscription MO is provided outside of the browser and the HTTP session (but within the communication session) using mechanisms such as OMA-DM or SOAP-XML communications. The mobile device can then utilize the provisioning information from the subscription MO to associate with an appropriate hotspot.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of enabling intersystem changes between 4G and 5G are described. The UE in single registration mode handles default EPS bearer contexts and PDU session contexts as if the N26 interface were supported before making the determination whether N26 interface is supported or not during an initial EPS Attach procedure. After determining that the N26 interface is unsupported, the UE maps active PDU session contexts to default EPS bearer contexts and modifies the PDU session context state from active to inactive before completing the intersystem change. The UE either acts as if the N26 interface were supported and loses all the PDN connections or PDU sessions during the intersystem change, or enters a modified single registration mode in which the states of the EPC and 5G system are partially isolated from each other during the intersystem change.
Abstract:
Simultaneous control plane and user plane user data transfer, for CIoT devices, and switching between control plane and user plane data transfer, for the CIoT devices, may be performed for Control Plane CIoT EPS Optimization and user plane data transmission. In one implementation, a flag value is set within a Non-Access-Stratum (NAS) EPS Mobility Management (EMM) message to indicate to the network to establish a user plane connection (e.g., an S1-U bearer and data radio bearer (DRB)). The NAS message may be transmitted when the user device is in connected mode of operation.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a User Equipment (UE) for initiating a service in a cellular network are disclosed herein. The UE can include processing circuitry to initiate the service for a service type using a current domain. Additionally, the UE can detect a service initiation failure for the service. Moreover, the UE can generate domain selection assistance information (DSAI) based on the detected service initiation failure. The DSAI can include the service type and the current domain. Furthermore, the UE can include transceiver circuitry to send the DSAI to a network entity. The network entity can be a diagnostic and assistance server. The sending of the DSAI can be configured to assist the network entity in selecting a preferred domain for the service type for the case when the UE initiates a new service.

Abstract:
The Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) is a function in LTE networks that an operator can use to control how UEs prioritize between different access technologies if non-3GPP access networks such as wireless local area networks (WLANs) are available and can also assist devices to discover available access networks. Schemes are described that introduce flexibility in the control of WLAN selection in roaming scenarios based on HPLMN preferences.
