Abstract:
Techniques for transmitting vehicle information messages among a plurality of vehicles are disclosed. In an aspect, a transceiver of a vehicle transmits a first set of vehicle information messages over a wireless medium at a first periodic rate, the first set of vehicle information messages including information related to the vehicle. One or more sensors of the vehicle detect an event related to operation of the vehicle. A processor of the vehicle generates a second set of vehicle information messages each including an event flag and information about the event, the event flag indicating that the second set of vehicle information messages is reporting the event. The transceiver of the vehicle transmits a first vehicle safety message of the second set of vehicle information messages over the wireless medium as soon as the first vehicle safety message is generated.
Abstract:
Application category-level access control for random access and traffic ingress using a joint control signal. The joint control signal may include application category access controls as well as an indication of applicability, which may indicate the connection states for which the access controls apply. The indication of applicability may also indicate the cause of access control. The indication of applicability may apply to all application category access controls, groups of application category access controls, or there may be separate indication of applicability for each application category access control. Resources may be conserved by using a single set of application category access controls for UEs in multiple connection states. The joint access controls may be transmitted to the UEs using signals such as SIBs.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for allocating resources in a shared radio access network (RAN). As described herein, a RAN element (e.g., base station) may allocate shared RAN resources (e.g., radio bearers) between two or more RAN sharing partners (e.g., PLMNs). A method generally includes maintaining a breakdown of RAN resources committed to each of the partners, assessing excess capacity of the RAN resources committed to each of the partners and overall spare capacity of the RAN resources, and allocating the RAN resources in accordance with the assessments and the relationship.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with improving QoE in RAN congestion. In one example, a communications device is equipped to indicate a quality control indicator (QCI) for each of a plurality of applications that communicate with a RAN over a bearer, receive information regarding modification of the bearer or additional bearers based on the QCIs, and modify the bearer or additional bearers according to the information to achieve a desired QoE for at least one of the plurality of applications. In another example, a RAN is equipped to receive a QCI for each of a plurality of applications related to a bearer from a UE, and modify the bearer or adding additional bearers for communicating with the UE based on the QCI for each of the plurality of applications to improve QoE at the UE.

Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that measures characteristics or attributes of a first communications network that vary according to physical location within that first communications network to create a fingerprint, or signature, of a location within the first communications network. When the fingerprint of the current location of the mobile device is created it can be compared to a known fingerprint associated with a second communication network to determine the mobile device's proximity to the second communications network. For example, the first communications network may be a CDMA wide area wireless communication network and the second communications network may be a 802.11 wireless LAN.

Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE.
