摘要:
In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives request to set-up a communication session of a given type while the UE is in a dormant state (e.g., URA_PCH or CELL_PCH). The UE configures a state transition request message (e.g., a cell update message) (i) to request that an access network transition the UE from the dormant state to a target state (e.g., CELL_FACH or CELL_DCH) and to obtain a network-assigned serving cell-specific identifier (e.g., C-RNTI) for exchanging data between the UE and the serving cell in association with the communication session of the given type and (ii) to indicate the given type of the communication session. The UE transmits the state transition request message to the access network, and the access network determines the given type of the communication session based on the state transition request message.

In an embodiment, a UE determines to transmit a message (e.g., an alert message, a call initiation message). Based on the type of the message to be transmitted, the UE selectively transmits supplemental data configured to prompt an access network to transition the UE to a dedicated channel state (DCS). In another embodiment, an application server configured to arbitrate communication sessions between UEs receives a message for transmission to a target UE. Based on the type of the message to be transmitted to the target UE, the application server selectively transmits, to a serving access network of the target UE, supplemental data configured to prompt the serving access network to transition the target UE to the DCS. In another embodiment, the access network selectively transitions a target UE to the DCS based on whether differently sized messages are received at the access network for transmission to the target UE.

In an embodiment, a proxy client is positioned within a local wireless network (e.g., a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)) and maintains a connection to an application server in a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) that is separate from the local wireless network. The application server arbitrates group communication sessions between a plurality of user equipments (UEs). An Internet Protocol (IP) unicast connection is established between the proxy client and the application server. The proxy client associates with at least one of the UEs over the local wireless network, and notifies the application server of the association. The application server sends, to the proxy client, traffic associated with a group communication session to the associated UE(s). The proxy client re-transmits the received traffic via IP multicast over the wireless network.

Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate communicating user plane data over common control resources by specifying a user equipment (UE) radio network temporary identifier (U-RNTI). In this regard, a Node B or radio network controller (RNC) receiving the user plane data can associate the data to the UE based on the U-RNTI. The user plane data can be transmitted in a control message with the associated U-RNTI, such as a CELL UPDATE message or another message having the U-RNTI specified in a media access control (MAC)-i header or other header in the message. The control message can also include parameters regarding the existence and specifications of the user plane data. The UE can thereby communicate the user plane data while in a universal terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) registration area paging channel (URA_PCH) or other relatively inactive state despite not having received an enhanced radio network temporary identifier (E-RNTI).

The disclosure relates to group communications over multimedia broadcast-multicast services (MBMS). An embodiment of the disclosure establishes a first multicast flow and assigns a second multicast flow, wherein the second multicast flow contains signaling and media for at least one group call, and wherein the first multicast flow is configured to send information regarding activity on the second multicast flow. An embodiment of the disclosure monitors a first multicast flow for an announce message regarding a first group call, and upon receipt of the announce message, switches to a second multicast flow that contains signaling and media for the first group call.

In an embodiment, an access network monitors traffic, associated with a radio bearer of a given type (e.g., a radio bearer expected to be associated with delay-sensitive and/or high-priority communication sessions), between a user equipment (UE) in a dedicated-channel state (e.g., CELL_DCH state) and an application server that is arbitrating a communication session between the UE and at least one other UE. Based on the monitored traffic, the access network selectively transitions the UE away from the dedicated-channel state. For example, if traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of a timer, the UE can be permitted to remaining in the dedicated-channel state. Alternatively, if no traffic on the radio bearer of the given type is detected before expiration of the timer, the UE can be transitioned away from the dedicated-channel state (e.g., into CELL_FACH, CELL_PCH or URA_PCH state).
摘要:
An access terminal selects less than all of a plurality of flows associated with a given multicast session, and sends a call registration message including reference to the selected less than all flows to an access network to request registration to each of the plurality of flows. The access network receives the call registration message, and interprets the call registration message as requesting registration to each of the plurality of flows associated with the given multicast session. The access network transmits a scheduling message to a group of access terminals that advertises less than all of a plurality of flows associated with the given multicast session. Access terminals in the group that receive the scheduling message interpret the scheduling message as if each of the plurality of flows is advertised as carried upon a downlink channel.
摘要:
A user equipment (UE) determine to activate a data session. The UE configures a data session activation request message to include an indication of an association with communication sessions of a given type (e.g., delay-sensitive communication sessions), and then transmits the data session activation request message to an access network. The access network determines to establish an aggressive paging cycle of a downlink channel for the UE based in part upon receiving a message (e.g., which can be different than the data session activation request message) that conveys the indication of the association to the access network. The access network sends at least one instruction for facilitating an allocation of the aggressive paging cycle to the UE, and the UE receives the at least one instructions and monitors the downlink channel accordingly.
