11564133 · 2023-01-24 · ·

A first base station receives a second base station addition request. The second base station addition request indicates for each packet flow of packet flows of a wireless device: whether each packet flow is for at least one vehicle-to-everything (V2X) service; and a quality-of-service indicator of each packet flow. An indication of an acceptance or rejection of each packet flow, of the packet flows, is sent based on whether each packet flow is for the at least one V2X service.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING QUALITY OF SERVICE IN A SYSTEM INCLUDING A CABLE MODEM TERMINATION SYSTEM AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS LINK
20230232301 · 2023-07-20 ·

A cable communications network provides an alternative communications path between a user equipment device and a data network to a cellular path for a communications session with a desired level of Quality of Service. A cable modem termination system, coupled to a wireless core network, e.g., a 5G core network, interacts with the wireless core network to attempt to establish a PDU session for a UE with a desired QoS level. The core sends a QoS service request message to the CMTS including a requested level of QoS, an IP address and port number for the session. The CMTS and cable modem, corresponding to the UE, negotiate and decide if the request desired QoS level can be supported over the cable between the CMTS and the cable mode for the session.

The information processing method is performed by a user equipment (UE) operating in a single registration mode, and includes: receiving assistance information from a first network; initiating an attaching or initial registration procedure according to the assistance information received from the first network when moving between the first network and a second network, the first and second networks utilizing different access technologies.

TRANSFERRING DATA FLOWS FOR PDU SESSIONS AT 5GS TO EPS MOBILITY
20230018958 · 2023-01-19 ·

A method performed by a network node for transferring Protocol Data Unit (PDU) sessions of a UE during a mobility procedure in which the UE is moved from a 5GS to an Evolved Packet System (EPS) is disclosed. The method comprises one or more of determining that a target Mobility Management Entity (MME) for the mobility procedure in the EPS supports a first number of EPS Bearers that is less than a second number of EPS Bearer Identities (EBIs) assigned to a number of PDU sessions (e.g., and their associated Quality of Service (QoS) Flows) of the UE that are to be transferred from the 5GS to the EPS; determining which of the PDU sessions and/or QoS Flows of the UE are not to be transferred to the target MME; and releasing, requesting the release of or initiating release of the PDU sessions and/or QoS Flows that are not to be transferred to the target MME.

20230014016 · 2023-01-19 · ·

A voice call method applied to a terminal including a first subscriber module and a second subscriber module, including: monitoring a network quality of the first subscriber module while performing an Internet protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session; and in response to determining that the network quality of the first subscriber module while performing the IMS session does not satisfy a preset network quality condition, and the second subscriber module satisfies a predetermined switching condition, switching to the second subscriber module to continue the IMS session.

METHODS FOR PDU SESSION INTERWORKING ACROSS EPS AND 5GS FOR NB-IOT
20230224767 · 2023-07-13 ·

Disclosed is a method of managing PDU session inter-working in a User Equipment, UE, wherein if the UE changes from WB-N1 mode to NB-S1 mode, then the UE sets the state of any dedicated EPS bearer context to be inactive.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO OPTIMIZE NON-3GPP UNTRUSTED WI-FI TO NEW RADIO EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM FALLBACK HANDOVER

The present technology is generally directed to optimizing a non-3GPP untrusted Wi-Fi to 5G system handover followed by Evolved Packet System (EPS) fallback, more specifically, to delaying removal of the Wi-Fi session resources and creating a voice flow as part of the EPS fallback. The present technology can receive a request for an EPS fallback from a mobile device for a handover to a 5G network while the mobile device is in communication over non-3GPP access network, maintain one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network during data path switching from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, generate a list of EPS bearer identifiers to transmit to an access and mobility management function (AMF), wherein the list of EPS bearer identifiers is associated with a voice flow to transfer the one or more resources of the non-3GPP access network as part of the handover from the non-3GPP access network to the 5G network, and transmit the list of EPS bearer identifiers to a mobility management entity (MME).

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INDICATING THAT CONNECTION ENABLES ROUTING OF DATA BETWEEN PDN GATEWAY AND LOCAL GATEWAY
20230017009 · 2023-01-19 ·

A user equipment device (UE) initiates the creation of a dedicated bearer between a local gateway (L-GW) and a packet data network gateway (P-GW). A GTP tunnel is established to connect the L-GW, a serving gateway (S-GW), and the P-GW. The L-GW and P-GW apply Network Address Translation (NAT) and/or Traffic Flow Template (TFT) to route the traffic between the LS and a Service Capacity Server/Application Server (SCS/AS). Alternatively, an SCS-initiates the bearer creation, and an SCEF manages the creation of the GTP tunnel connecting. The L-GW may be co-located with an Evolved UTRAN Node B (eNB) and/or connected to multiple eNBs which are not co-located with the L-GW.
