Abstract:
Apparatuses, systems, and methods to avoid contact/identity disclosure when using a multiple subscriber identity module (multi-SIM) wireless electronic device are described. According to one method, if a call to a first party in a first SIM cannot be established using the first SIM, the call is established using a second SIM, but without the device displaying identity/contact information of the first SIM. According to the embodiment, the calling line identification restriction (CLIR) supplementary service may be used, a user-to-user signalling (UUS) service may be invoked, and/or the user may decide to share selected identity/contact information associated with the first SIM while withholding the rest from the device.
Abstract:
A method and a base station are provided for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) packets. The method includes bundling a plurality of HARQ packets in a HARQ process in a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) grant; and transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), the bundled plurality of HARQ packets in the HARQ process.
Abstract:
A method to transmit paging messages to Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices in wireless communication is provided. The method includes establishing, by a first cluster head, a dedicated radio connection with at least one base station. The method also includes receiving a request from a plurality of MTC devices to transmit a signaling message. The signaling message includes a tracking area update (TAU) and paging information associated with the plurality of MTC devices. The method further includes storing information of the plurality of MTC devices associated with the first cluster head and base station corresponding to each of the MTC devices. The method includes fetching, by a Mobility Management Entity (MME), information of the base station associated with a serving MTC device based on receiving a data request from the at least one MTC device and transmitting the paging information to the base station associated with the serving MTC device.
