Abstract:
The present application provides a channel type used to support user QoE expectations, which is, in particular, a QoS and QoE guaranteed channel (QQGC). Also provided is a related method and system for providing a QQGC. Effective bit rate (EBR), average bit rate, and maximum bit rate, are determined and used to support the channel. The EBR can be determined based on QoE reports. An application function, such as a network data analytics function provides the indication of effective bit rate. One or more portions of the application function can be provided in potentially different locations of a communications network and operatively coupled. Alternatively, application function portions can be co-located. The EBR is provided to and used by devices in the network to reserve user plane resources to support data flows at the EBR. The EBR can also be used for admission or rejection of requests for a QQGC channel.
Abstract:
A method of channel access procedure and QoS provisioning is proposed. When more than one user equipments (UEs) contend uplink transmission for a given time slot in an unlicensed band, uplink listen-before-talk (LBT) scheme should perform in a proper way to reflect service prioritization. The base station first determines the Channel Access Priority (CAP) for uplink LBT, and then signals such CAP to the UE via PDCCH. Upon receiving the CAP, the UE performs LBT procedure with corresponding CAP before uplink transmission. For example, the CAP can be determined based on QoS class identifier (QCI) of the radio bearer or based on the MAC layer logical channel prioritization (LCP).

Abstract:
Quality of service may be enhanced for high priority traffic. A UE may communicate within a packet switched system, e.g., an LTE network. The UE may use a first or default bearer for signaling messages of high priority services and a second bearer for messages of low priority services. For example, the first bearer may have a quality of service class identifier (QCI) value of while the second bearer may have a QCI value other than 5, (e.g., 6-9). The first bearer may be used for signaling messages associated with voice over IP, video over IP, and/or SMS over IP, as desired. The second bearer may be used for messages (e.g., signaling messages) associated with other, lower priority services. For example, the second bearer may be used for presence messages or instant messages or other lower priority messages.
Abstract:
A system and method is provided for scheduling data packets. The system includes one or more packet engines configured to provide one or more congestion indications for a plurality of connections of a communication link. The system also includes a packet scheduler configured to receive the one or more congestion indications, estimate a link rate of the communication link using the one or more congestion indications and classification information, and schedule the data packets for transmission via the plurality of connections using the estimated link rate and the classification information.
Abstract:
A technology for a user equipment (UE) in a multiple radio access technology (multi-RAT) heterogeneous network (HetNet) that is operable to provide node-selection measurement information to a central controller. Node-selection measurement information can be determined at the UE for a plurality of nodes in the multi-RAT HetNet. The node-selection measurement information can be communicated from the UE to the central controller. A multi-RAT HetNet node grouping assignment can be receive for the UE from the central controller based on the node-selection measurement information.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and systems are described related to interference averaging to generate feedback information. In embodiments, an evolved Node B (eNB) may transmit an feedback management message to a user equipment (UE) that defines one or more PRB sets. The PRB sets may include at least one PRB of the channel. The UE may average interference measurements within the PRB set and may generate channel state information (CSI) feedback for the PRB set based on the average interference measurement. The UE may transmit the CSI feedback to the eNB.
Abstract:
Wireless communication devices may directly communicate within groups of wireless communication devices using Layer-2 communications to implement "push-to-talk" type applications. In one implementation, a method may include generating a floor request signaling message to take control of a communication channel for a group. After transmitting data relating to the communications, a floor release signaling message may be generated and transmitted a number of times.
Abstract:
Technology for communicating access point (AP) information for traffic offloading is disclosed. A request may be received, at a wireless local area network (WLAN) domain manager (DM) from an evolved node B (eNB), for access point (AP) information about one or more WLAN access points (APs) for traffic offloading. The access point (AP) information may be obtained for the one or more WLAN APs, at the WLAN DM, based on at least in part operations and management (OAM) reports from the one or more WLAN APs containing the AP information. The AP information may be communicated, from the WLAN DM to the eNB via a network manager (NM), about the one or more WLAN APs to enable traffic offloading from the eNB to at least one of the WLAN APs.
