The instructions comprises communicating with a master base station via a first uplink (UL) carrier and a first downlink (DL) carrier; communicating with a secondary base station via a second UL carrier and a second DL carrier; detecting a link failure related to the secondary base station while communicating with the master base station; and transmitting information of the link failure and information of a measurement result related to the secondary base station to the master base station to report the link failure. | 2015-10-15 |
20150296439 | DISTRIBUTED NEIGBORING CELL ASSISTED NEIGHBOUR DISCOVERY - A system for distributed network-assisted neighbor discovery is operable by a network entity that performs a network discovery action to discover a plurality of neighboring cells to be neighbors of each other. The network entity informs at least one of the plurality of neighboring cells of a neighbor relationship with the plurality of neighboring cells, in response to determining the plurality of neighboring cells to be neighbors of each other. | 2015-10-15 |
20150296440 | Hierarchical Access Network Discovery and Selection Function and Offload Wi-Fi Network - Examples herein propose a hierarchical ANDSF approach in order to provide more online control over user device network/selection. In some embodiments an overall ANDSF server may be a separate ANDSF server or integrated with an ANDSF server in the RAN. In a network of one operator there may be one or more ANDSF and/or RAN-ANDSF servers, for example one RAN-ANDSF server per cell/location/tracking/routing area. Furthermore, a network operator may wish to offload selected users to a Wi-Fi network only when certain conditions are satisfied. For example, if there is congestion in the mobile network, the network operator may wish to offload some of the users to a Wi-Fi network. Therefore, the [RAN-]ANDSF prepares new network selection policies encouraging Wi-Fi usage to the selected users and transmits the policies to the user devices. | 2015-10-15 |
20150296441 | MANAGING WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SETTINGS IN A PLURALITY OF VEHICLES - A method of managing short-range wireless communications settings applied at a vehicle includes detecting a plurality of short-range wireless communications settings used by an existing vehicle; storing the plurality of short-range wireless communications settings with a subscriber identity; detecting that a person associated with the subscriber identity has begun using a new vehicle; uploading the plurality of short-range wireless communications settings from the existing vehicle to the new vehicle; and applying the plurality of short-range wireless communications settings associated with the subscriber identity to the new vehicle. | 2015-10-15 |
