| 20150098391 | CENTRALIZED CIRCUIT SWITCH FALLBACK - Systems and methods herein utilize interworking protocols with centralized functionality to perform CSFB with minimal latency for an inbound and/or outbound communication with a mobile device that is attached to a communication network not operable to service the communication. Embodiments utilize a centralized gateway that communicates in both an LTE network and CS network. In embodiments, the mobile device may be concurrently attached to the LTE network, registered with the centralized gateway, and registered with an MSC of the CS network. Upon the CS network receiving an inbound call for the mobile device or upon the mobile device originating a call, the MSC may set up the call with the mobile device with minimal latency because the mobile device is pre-registered with the MSC. | 2015-04-09 |
| 20150098392 | MULTIDIMENSIONAL ALGORITHM FOR ROAMING - Methods, devices, and apparatuses are described for wireless communications using a multidimensional algorithm for roaming. In one aspect, an initial set of candidate access points (APs) is produced by a station using a roaming scan. The initial set may be identified based at least in part on an initial metric (e.g., beacon signal strength). A probe signal may be transmitted by the station to at least one of the candidate APs in the initial set and information may be received in response to the probe signals. The station may then identify a reduced set from the initial set based at least in part on the received information, where the reduced set is used to select a target AP. At least one additional metric may be identified and the probe signal may be configured to obtain information corresponding to the additional metrics. This information may be used by the station to select the candidate APs in the reduced set. | 2015-04-09 |
| 20150098393 | NETWORK OPERATING SYSTEM CLIENT ARCHITECTURE FOR MOBILE USER EQUIPMENT - A network operating system agent can operate to facilitate communications to a network device and a managing server of self-organizing network devices to exchange contexts between an application managed by a user equipment device and the network device. Relationships between self-organizing devices and applications of a user equipment device can be extended so that the network devices are context aware of the application settings. In response to detecting the user equipment device communicating via the network devices, a set of user equipment device parameters and a set of application settings of the application can be communicated to the network devices. The application settings can be modified according to the a set of radio network performance settings of the self-organizing network devices with the user equipment device based on the set of user equipment device parameters and the set of application settings of the application. | 2015-04-09 |

| 20150098395 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING INFORMATION RELATED TO REMOVING INTERFERENCE BASED ON STRUCTURAL IDENTIFIER ALLOCATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving control information masked with an identifier allocated according to a predefined rule for structural allocation, the control information being transmitted from a neighboring base station, and processing the control information by using the identifier. | 2015-04-09 |
| 20150098396 | METHOD AND WIRELESS DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING CHANNELS - According to one embodiment, a method inquires one or more first nodes of another wireless communication scheme, which are present in a nearby area of a neighboring wireless device of a wireless device, about use channels, thereby obtaining first information indicative of one or more channels of the another wireless communication scheme which are being used in the nearby area of the neighboring wireless device. The method further sets, based on the first information, a channel of the first wireless communication scheme, which is to be used for transmitting data from the wireless device to the neighboring wireless device, to be a first channel which does not overlap a frequency range corresponding to the one or more channels. | 2015-04-09 |
