The present invention relates to a method of performing data transmission in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of transmitting data on a first bandwidth part (BWP) among a plurality of BWPs configured for data transmission in a radio resource control (RRC) inactive state (RRC_INACTIVE); switching from the first BWP to a second BWP among the plurality of BWPs, when a positive response message of the data is not received from the network within a pre-defined period; and transmitting the data on the second BWP.

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for determining a connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) short cycle value, transmitting a C-DRX short cycle request to a base station, the C-DRX short cycle request including the C-DRX short cycle value, receiving a first confirmation indicating the base station accepting the C-DRX short cycle value associated with the C-DRX short cycle request, determining an averaging window value based on the C-DRX short cycle value, transmitting an averaging window request to the base station, the averaging window request including the averaging window value, receiving a second confirmation indicating the base station accepting the averaging window value associated with the averaging window request, and communicating with the base station based on the C-DRX short cycle value and the averaging window value.

An architecture for facilitating smart physical cell identity (PCI) configuration for aerial network equipment that can used in terrestrial 4G and/or 5G LTE wireless networking paradigms. A method can comprise: receiving, from core network equipment, an instruction to travel from a first geographic location to a second geographic location, wherein the second geographic location has been determined, by the core network equipment, as representing a hotspot location; traveling from the first geographic location to the hotspot location; based on crossing a boundary associated with the hotspot location, initiating execution of a user equipment relay process that transitions the aerial user equipment from being user equipment to being aerial network equipment; and transmitting to the core network equipment that the user equipment relay process has been successfully initiated.

A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a connectivity handover operation. The connectivity handover operation includes: identifying a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) link, the WWAN link having an associated WWAN location quality identifier; identifying a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) link, the WLAN link having an associated WLAN location quality identifier; monitoring the associated WWAN location quality identifier and the associated WLAN location quality indicator; determining whether the WWAN link should be activated based upon the associated WLAN location quality identifier; and, performing the connectivity handover operation based upon the determining.

A first device in a communication network receives from at least one second device in the communication network, a first request for acquiring a token, the token being permission for communicating with a third device. Based on the first request, a device from the at least one second device and the first device as a communication device is selected for providing a communication service to the third device in the communication network; and the token is transmitted to the communication device. The communication device receives the token for communicating with the third device. Other devices receive key information associated with communication of the third device from the first device, and monitor data associated with the communication of the third device.

Techniques are disclosed relating to apportioning data between network links in dual-connectivity environments. In some embodiments, a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) entity implemented by a mobile device determines a ratio for sending packet data to two or more different radio link control (RLC) entities implemented by the mobile device for dual connectivity communications via two or more different networks. In some embodiments, in response to a current data volume meeting a threshold value, the PDCP entity apportions packet data between the two or more different RLC entities based on the determined ratio. The ratio may be determined based on various input parameters from one or more protocol layers or may be specified by the network. In various embodiments, the disclosed techniques may improve resource utilization and reduce re-ordering delay at the receiver.

Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently enroll computing devices into a mobile device management system, even when those computing devices are offline and not connected to the system. A management server can include a console that allows the administrator to enroll an offline computing device by selecting an offline enrollment option on a registration record. This option can cause the management server to create a device record, indicating the computing device is enrolled. The management server can also create and save a provisioning file onto a storage device, such as a USB drive. Assets, such as graphics and applications, specified by the device record are also saved onto the storage device. The storage device can be physically connected to the computing device, at which point the provisioning file guides automatic installation of the assets and implementation of device settings and compliance rules specified by the device record.

A system and method to identify different access names for discovering and learning service provider's Wi-Fi access networks in user's premises where user may have defined a customized SSID on said Wi-Fi Access Points, for increasing the likelihood for automatic Wi-Fi offload on service provider network thus enhancing user experience to dynamically offload a user equipment [202] and prevent revenue loss for the service provider by keeping the user always on its Network (either cellular or Wi-Fi). Furthermore, the method encompasses identifying of a parent service provider's user-defined Wi-Fi Access Network SSID(s), learning one or more information of connection between said SSID(s) and the UE [202], categorizing said SSID(s) and allowing automated offload to a selected SSID whenever the UE [202] is within its coverage.

Methods, systems, and apparatus' for optimizing network performance are described herein. A Cloud-Server may optimize one or more mesh networks of a plurality of 802.11 access points (APs) and stations (STA) connected to the APs. The Cloud-Server may work with a client steering daemon (CSD) miming on each AP. The Cloud-Server may operate in a location that is remote to the AP(s). The Cloud-Server may collect, store, and process network and client related data from one or more CSDs. The processing may include measuring network (e.g., premises) and client (e.g., STA) performance as well as analyzing (e.g., machine learning, etc.) to determine network parameters that will optimize network performance The Cloud-Server may then apply these network parameters to the relevant CSDs in order to improve per client and per network performance.
