Abstract:
First communication circuitry of a first device is made discoverable by a second device via a short-range wireless protocol. A device name for the first communication circuitry is set to a user identifier that is specific to a user of the first device. The second device discovers the first device and the user identifier is transmitted to the second device. A response message can also be included with the user identifier and can be appended to the user identifier. The second device stores the user identifier, and the response message if included, in a log to record a presence of the user of the first device within a range between the first and second devices of the short-range wireless protocol.
Abstract:
A presence service can be provided by an access point (101) serving a small cell (100) by rejecting a request for registration from a user equipment (103) after acquiring its IMSI and sending the IMSI to a presence database (105). The user equipment determines if the cell is a presence cell by comparing the cell's location area code (LAC) with LACs stored in a list and looking for a match. It the cell is a presence cell then the user equipment, rather than placing the LAC in a forbidden list, re-tries registration again but only after a pre-set time period of 5-10 minutes has elapsed. This has the advantage that a presence service can be notified of subscribers who linger in a particular area or return to that area at regular intervals.
Abstract:
In embodiments, apparatuses, methods, and storage media may be described for identifying a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) with which a third generation partnership project (3GPP) user equipment (UE) should connect. Specifically, the UE may receive an indication of one or more supported connectivity options of the WLAN AP. The UE may also receive an indication of one or more public land mobile networks that the WLAN AP is able to communicate with. The UE may then select whether the UE should connect to the WLAN AP based on the received indication(s) and a selection preference rule. Other embodiments may be claimed.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for user equipment (UE)-initiated reporting of congestion information. Various embodiments may include systems and methods for reporting congestion information to an evolved node B (eNB) by UEs. In embodiments, the congestion information may be utilized in managing access requests made by the UEs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
Un réseau de communication cellulaire comporte un réseau cœur interconnectant un ensemble de cellules, un équipement du réseau cœur étant en charge de gérer la mobilité des équipements utilisateur entre les cellules. Un équipement utilisateur transmet (401) audit équipement du réseau cœur un message de requête d'attachement pour s'enregistrer et transmet aussi un message de requête de mise à jour de zones de localisation à l'expiration d'une temporisation périodique de durée fixée par ledit équipement du réseau cœur dans un message d'acceptation d'attachement et/ou dans un message d'acceptation de mise à jour de zones de localisation. L'équipement utilisateur inclut, dans chaque message de requête d'attachement au réseau cœur et/ou dans chaque message de requête de mise à jour de zones de localisation, une proposition de durée à appliquer à ladite temporisation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure presents a method and apparatus for dynamically configuring a cell update message at a user equipment (UE). For example, the method may include determining that a size of the cell update message at the UE is above a threshold value after a "measured results on random access channel (RACH)" information element (IE) is excluded from the cell update message. Furthermore, such an example method may include removing one or more IEs from the cell update message until the size of the cell update message is at or below the threshold value. As such, dynamic configuration of a cell update message at a UE is achieved.
