Abstract:
An integrated WLAN/WWAN architecture is described, in which signaling used to control the integration of the WLAN/WWAN architecture is performed over the Radio Resource Control ("RRC") plane. The integrated architecture may provide a network-controlled framework for performing traffic steering and radio resource management. Additionally, according to the disclosure provided herein, the integrated architecture may interwork with legacy systems (e.g., architectures that do not support the integrated WLAN/WWAN architecture).

Abstract:
A radio communication device may include a cellular wide area radio communication technology circuit configured to provide a communication according to a cellular wide area radio communication technology; a circuit configured to provide a direct communication device to communication device communication; and a message generator configured to generate a message indicating a request for a handover from an established direct communication device to communication device communication connection with a second radio communication device to a cellular wide area radio communication connection with the second radio communication device.
Abstract:
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of triggering a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) action of a wireless communication device, e.g., a User Equipment (UE). For example, an Evolved Node B (eNB) may include a radio to transmit a control message to a UE, the control message including a WLAN trigger to trigger one or more actions by a WLAN transceiver of the UE.
Abstract:
An integrated WLAN/WWAN Radio Access Technology (RAT) architecture is described in which signaling used to control the integration of the WLAN/WWAN architecture is performed over the Radio Resource Control (RRC) plane. The integrated architecture may allow for User Equipment (UE) assistance in cell selection and traffic steering. In particular, UE- assisted RRC signaling is described for managing inter-RAT session transfers and secondary cell (SCell) selection.
Abstract:
A mobile small station including a transceiver, a processor, and a memory having instructions for execution by the processor to exchange measurement information with a macro station, provide a wide area network connection and act as a relay for a small station moving network with the mobile small station, and perform handover of relay responsibilities to another mobile small station in the small station moving network.
Abstract:
Technology for an eNodeB operable to control communications at a relay user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The eNodeB can select the relay UE to relay proximity services (ProSe) traffic between the eNodeB and a remote UE based on one or more relay quality indicators associated with the relay UE. The eNodeB can communicate, to the relay UE, control signaling to configure one or more orthogonal timelines to cause the relay UE to resolve ProSe communications between the relay UE and the remote UE that conflict with uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK) or negative acknowledgement (NACK) transmissions from the relay UE to the eNodeB.
Abstract:
Techniques for unifying split bearers at user equipment (UE) in an Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access-New Radio (E-ULTRA NR) dual connectivity (EN-DC) environment are described. According to various such techniques, a radio resource control (RRC) message can include an encapsulated configuration for a secondary cell group (SCG). Packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) configurations for MN or SN split bearers can be included in the master cell group (MCG) configuration in the RRC message or in the encapsulated SCG configuration. In some examples, an RRC message can include an encapsulated SCG configuration and an encapsulated PDCP configuration, where the encapsulated PDCP configuration including PDCP configuration information for the MN or SN split bearer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
Technology for an eNodeB operable to resolve predefined types of concurrent communications at a relay user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The eNodeB can identify the relay UE that is configured to relay proximity services (ProSe) traffic between the eNodeB and a remote UE. The relay UE can be in-coverage of the eNodeB and the remote UE can be in-coverage or out-of-coverage of the eNodeB. The eNodeB can communicate control signaling to at least one of the relay UE and the remote UE to resolve predefined types of communications performed at the relay UE or the remote UE to defined subframes. The control signaling can provide concurrency avoidance at the relay UE for predefined types of concurrent communications between the relay UE and at least one of the eNodeB and the remote UE.
