Abstract:
A mobile communication device for avoiding location exposure in a User Equipment (UE) information procedure includes a wireless transceiver, configured to perform wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The device also includes a controller, configured to determine whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network, and in response to the RRC security not having been activated and location information of the mobile communication device being present, send a first measurement report without the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver or does not send a second measurement report comprising the location information of the mobile communication device; to the service network via the wireless transceiver after receiving measurement configuration message.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller determines whether a Radio Resource Control (RRC) security has been activated between the mobile communication device and the service network when receiving measurement configuration from the service network via the wireless transceiver. In response to the RRC security not having been activated and location information of the mobile communication device being present, the controller sends a first measurement report not including the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver, or the controller does not send a second measurement report including the location information of the mobile communication device to the service network via the wireless transceiver.
Abstract:
A communications apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to perform operations comprising: performing a Non Access Stratum (NAS) security mode command procedure to derive a set of NAS key(s); transmitting a NAS security mode complete message to a network device for informing that the NAS security mode command procedure is complete; receiving an RRCReconfiguration message indicating derivation of a set of Access Stratum (AS) keys from the network device when an acknowledge message associated with the NAS security mode complete message has not been received; and performing a NAS procedure to communicate with the network device by using the set of NAS key(s).
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide a method for setting up a call for a user equipment. The method includes receiving, by the user equipment, a measurement configuration message that specifies a set of measurement events corresponding to poor signal quality between the user equipment and a packet-switched network, and sending, by the user equipment, a measurement report when one of the set of measurement events occurs while performing a first call setup process for setting up the call using the packet-switched network. The method also includes terminating the first call setup process after sending the measurement report that indicates poor signal quality between the user equipment and the packet-switched network, and sending, by the user equipment, a service request to begin a second call setup process for setting up the call for the user equipment using a circuit-switched network after terminating the first call setup process.
Abstract:
Various solutions for maintaining a radio resource control (RRC) connection with respect to user equipment and network apparatus in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may establish an RRC connection with a network node. The apparatus may transmit a layer 2 packet to maintain the RRC connection after a period of time without data transmission. The apparatus may transmit uplink data via the RRC connection without re-establishing the RRC connection.

Abstract:
A mobile communication device including a wireless transceiver and a controller is provided. The wireless transceiver performs wireless transmission and reception to and from a service network. The controller determines, during an ongoing Non-Access Stratum (NAS) procedure, whether a SECURITY MODE COMMAND message received from the service network via the wireless transceiver fails an integrity protection check and no RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message has been received from the service network via the wireless transceiver, or whether transmission of a SECURITY MODE COMPLETE message to the service network via the wireless transceiver has failed. Also, the controller locally releases a connection to the service network when the SECURITY MODE COMMAND message fails the integrity protection check and no RRC CONNECTION RELEASE message has been received, or when the transmission of the SECURITY MODE COMPLETE message has failed.
Abstract:
A method for efficient wireless communications includes transmitting a connection request via a communications apparatus to a peer device to try to establish a connection with the peer device to trigger a Circuit Switch Fallback (CSFB) procedure; starting a predetermined timer via the communications apparatus when transmitting the connection request; and when there is no response message received from the peer device by the time the predetermined timer expires, transmitting the connection request again via the communications apparatus to the peer device at least once to retry to establish the connection with the peer device.

Abstract:
Various solutions for problem cell handling with respect to user equipment in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may transmit user equipment (UE) capability information to a cell. The apparatus may determine the cell as a problem cell in response to no service received from the cell. The apparatus may reduce a size of the UE capability information. The apparatus may further transmit the reduced UE capability information to the problem cell.
