20140169255 | OPTIMIZATION OF EMBMS SERVICE CONTINUITY WITH MBSFN MEASUREMENTS - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus configures a set of MBSFN subframes to include one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements. The one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements correspond to each of one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies for broadcasting eMBMS services. The apparatus sends one or more measurement parameters to a UE. The measurement parameters identify the one or more MBSFN subframes for MBSFN signal quality measurements, and a MBSFN area ID corresponding to each of the one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies. The measurement parameters may further identify a MCS level corresponding to each of the one or more MBSFN areas or frequencies. | 06-19-2014 |
20140247766 | SMALL CELL EVOLVED MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST MULTICAST SERVICE - A method by a small cell for wireless communication may include receiving, by the small cell, a wireless Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) signal from a macro cell, wherein the small cell is characterized by having a transmit power substantially less than each macro cell in a wireless communication network with the small cell. The method may further include obtaining, by the small cell, a measurement value of the MBSFN signal within a radio range of the small cell. The method may further include acting, by the small cell, based on the measurement value. The small cell may be, or may include, at least one of a pico cell, a femto cell, or a home evolved Node B (HeNB). | 09-04-2014 |
20140355507 | ADJUSTING PRIORITY OF MBMS AND FEMTO CELLS - A UE may camp on a femto cell in an idle mode and determine whether the UE has an interest in receiving an MBMS service from an MBMS cell. When the UE has the interest in receiving the MBMS service, the UE adjusts a priority of the MBMS cell on which the MBMS service is provided or a priority of the femto cell such that the priority of the MBMS cell is higher than the priority of the femto cell. Otherwise, the UE refrains from adjusting the priority of the MBMS cell or the priority of the femto cell. | 12-04-2014 |
20140362773 | LOCAL IP ACCESS SCHEME - Local IP access is provided in a wireless network to facilitate access to one or more local services. In some implementations, different IP interfaces are used for accessing different services (e.g., local services and operator network services). A list that maps packet destinations to IP interfaces may be employed to determine which IP interface is to be used for sending a given packet. In some implementations an access point provides a proxy function (e.g., a proxy ARP function) for an access terminal. In some implementations an access point provides an agent function (e.g., a DHCP function) for an access terminal. NAT operations may be performed at an access point to enable the access terminal to access local services. In some aspects, an access point may determine whether to send a packet from an access terminal via a protocol tunnel based on the destination of the packet. | 12-11-2014 |
20140372624 | MEDIATING CONTENT DELIVERY VIA ONE OR MORE SERVICES - A device for receiving streaming data includes a broadcast or multicast middleware unit configured to receive the streaming data via a second service and a proxy unit configured to be disposed between the middleware unit and a client application, the proxy unit further configured to receive an indication of whether the streaming data is to be received via a first service or the second service, when the indication indicates that the streaming data is to be received via the first service: disable the middleware unit; and receive the streaming data via the first service, and when the indication indicates that the streaming data is to be received via the second service: activate the middleware unit to receive the streaming data via the second service, wherein the second service comprises at least one of a broadcast service or a multicast service; and receive the streaming data from the middleware unit. | 12-18-2014 |
20150033021 | REMOTE ACCESS TO LOCAL NETWORK VIA SECURITY GATEWAY - Multiple protocol tunnels (e.g., IPsec tunnels) are deployed to enable an access terminal that is connected to a network to access a local network associated with a femto access point. A first protocol tunnel is established between a security gateway and the femto access point. A second protocol tunnel is then established in either of two ways. In some implementations the second protocol tunnel is established between the access terminal and the security gateway. In other implementations the second protocol tunnel is established between the access terminal and the femto access point, whereby a portion of the tunnel is routed through the first tunnel. | 01-29-2015 |
20150043534 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LTE RADIO ACCESS NETWORK SHARING - A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which user equipment performs a circuit-switched fallback procedure to connect to a CDMA2000 network. The CDMA2000 network may be selected by the UE or by the network. A plurality of PLMN IDs may be maintained, where the IDs relate to a network that includes an LTE RAN. Each PLMN ID may be associated with a CDMA2000 network sharing the LTE RAN. A CDMA2000 network may be selected for circuit-switched fallback of a user equipment operating in the LTE RAN. The user equipment may be configured to perform a circuit-switched fallback procedure on the selected CDMA2000 network. The CDMA2000 network may be selected by a mobility management entity responsive to a PLMN selection procedure. The PLMN selection procedure may be performed when the UE reports multiple-operator capability. | 02-12-2015 |
20150055541 | LTE BASED MULTICAST IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM - Methods, systems, and devices are described for broadcast signal transmission using a number of nodes in an unlicensed spectrum. A set of nodes may be identified for use in transmission of a broadcast signal, with a first subset of the nodes transmitting the broadcast signal to deliver first content during a first time period, and with a second subset of the nodes transmitting the broadcast signal to deliver second content during a second time period. The first subset of nodes is different than the second subset of nodes. The set of nodes may thus form a single frequency network (SFN) that performs partial SFN operation during the first and second time periods. | 02-26-2015 |
20150087271 | SECURE RECEPTION REPORTING - In a first configuration, a UE receives, from a service provider, a certificate authority list. The certificate authority list is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the UE. The UE authenticates a server using the received certificate authority list. In a second configuration, the UE receives a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server. The UE sends a protected reception report to the server based on the reception report configuration. In a third configuration, the UE receives a protected broadcast announcement and communicates based on the broadcast announcement. The broadcast announcement is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and stored on a smartcard in the UE. | 03-26-2015 |
