Abstract:
A timeout period for a base station to wait for a UE's response to bearer-setup messaging from the base station will be set based on an evaluation of how often the UE (or a class of UEs of which the UE is a member) has experienced bearer-setup failures. For instance, the base station could generally apply a default timeout period for waiting to receive bearer-setup response messaging from UEs. But for a given UE that has recently experienced a high rate of bearer-setup failures, the base station could apply a longer timeout period, to help cope with that UE's tendency to be slower to respond to the base station's bearer-setup messaging.
Abstract:
A method and system for blindly triggering handover based on past failures to trigger handover of beamforming-served devices. A computing system identifies a geolocation area where wireless communication devices (WCDs) that are served with beamforming by a first access node tend to experience radio link failure after having reported to the first access node being within threshold weak coverage of the first access node and threshold strong coverage of a second access node. And, based on the identifying, the computing system then blindly triggers handover of a given WCD from the first access node to the second access node in response to determining that the given WCD is served with beamforming by the first access node while positioned in the identified geolocation area.
Abstract:
When a network entity receives packets transmitted from a user equipment device (UE), the network entity will detect that a threshold number of those packets exceed the network entity's maximum transmission unit (MTU), and the network entity will responsively cause the UE to reduce the UE's MTU. In particular, the network entity will responsively transmit to the UE, within a header of a packet carrying bearer data to the UE, a directive for the UE to decrease the UE's MTU.
Abstract:
Methods and corresponding systems are provided for limiting mobile station operation when multiple mobile stations are moving together in a group. Such group movement includes but is not limited to movement in a vehicle. According to disclosed methods, a determination is made that multiple mobile stations are moving substantially together, and in response to the determination, operation of one or more of the mobile stations is limited.
