Abstract: Techniques for transmitting vehicle information messages among a plurality of vehicles are disclosed. In an aspect, a transceiver of a vehicle transmits a first set of vehicle information messages over a wireless medium at a first periodic rate, the first set of vehicle information messages including information related to the vehicle. One or more sensors of the vehicle detect an event related to operation of the vehicle. A processor of the vehicle generates a second set of vehicle information messages each including an event flag and information about the event, the event flag indicating that the second set of vehicle information messages is reporting the event. The transceiver of the vehicle transmits a first vehicle safety message of the second set of vehicle information messages over the wireless medium as soon as the first vehicle safety message is generated.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE.

Abstract: Application category-level access control for random access and traffic ingress using a joint control signal. The joint control signal may include application category access controls as well as an indication of applicability, which may indicate the connection states for which the access controls apply. The indication of applicability may also indicate the cause of access control. The indication of applicability may apply to all application category access controls, groups of application category access controls, or there may be separate indication of applicability for each application category access control. Resources may be conserved by using a single set of application category access controls for UEs in multiple connection states. The joint access controls may be transmitted to the UEs using signals such as SIBs.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a wireless communication device and method for using the device. The wireless communications device may be used by accessing information in memory, the information relating to a first communications network. The information, along with one or more reference signals from a second communications network, is used to determine whether the wireless communications device is in the vicinity of the first communications network.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in connection with improving QoE in RAN congestion. In one example, a communications device is equipped to indicate a quality control indicator (QCI) for each of a plurality of applications that communicate with a RAN over a bearer, receive information regarding modification of the bearer or additional bearers based on the QCIs, and modify the bearer or additional bearers according to the information to achieve a desired QoE for at least one of the plurality of applications. In another example, a RAN is equipped to receive a QCI for each of a plurality of applications related to a bearer from a UE, and modify the bearer or adding additional bearers for communicating with the UE based on the QCI for each of the plurality of applications to improve QoE at the UE.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that measures characteristics or attributes of a first communications network that vary according to physical location within that first communications network to create a fingerprint, or signature, of a location within the first communications network. When the fingerprint of the current location of the mobile device is created it can be compared to a known fingerprint associated with a second communication network to determine the mobile device's proximity to the second communications network. For example, the first communications network may be a CDMA wide area wireless communication network and the second communications network may be a 802.11 wireless LAN.

Abstract: Techniques for handling arriving calls with grade of service (GoS) differentiation for multiple tiers of services are described. The multiple tiers may be for different levels of service subscriptions, different types of calls, etc. In one design, calls in multiple tiers of services may be received by a base station. The calls in the multiple tiers may be differentiated based on at least one parameter. In one design, different blocking rates may be supported for calls in different tiers, e.g., with progressively lower blocking rates being supported for calls in progressively higher tiers. In another design, different call setup queuing delays may be supported for calls in different tiers, e.g., with progressively shorter queuing delays being supported for calls in progressively higher tiers.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatuses for allocating resources in a shared radio access network (RAN). As described herein, a RAN element (e.g., base station) may allocate shared RAN resources (e.g., radio bearers) between two or more RAN sharing partners (e.g., PLMNs). A method generally includes maintaining a breakdown of RAN resources committed to each of the partners, assessing excess capacity of the RAN resources committed to each of the partners and overall spare capacity of the RAN resources, and allocating the RAN resources in accordance with the assessments and the relationship.

Abstract: Methods and devices for communicating in a communication system are described herein. In one aspect, methods and devices for group based access control of machine to machine devices for wireless communication are described. One method includes forming a machine-to-machine (M2M) group identifier based on a M2M service category. The method further includes associating the M2M group identifier with at least one wireless device. The method further includes transmitting data intended for receipt by the M2M group, the data including the M2M group identifier.

Abstract: Techniques for performing priority scheduling and admission control in a communication network are described. In an aspect, data flows may be prioritized, and packets for data flows with progressively higher priority levels may be placed at points progressively closer to the head of a queue and may then experience progressively shorter queuing delays. In another aspect, a packet for a terminal may be transferred from a source cell to a target cell due to handoff and may be credited for the amount of time the packet has already waited in a queue at the source cell. In yet another aspect, all priority and non-priority data flows may be admitted if cell loading is light, only priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is heavy, and all priority data flows and certain non-priority data flows may be admitted if the cell loading is moderate.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device that measures characteristics or attributes of a first communications network that vary according to physical location within that first communications network to create a fingerprint, or signature, of a location within the first communications network. When the fingerprint of the current location of the mobile device is created it can be compared to a known fingerprint associated with a second communication network to determine the mobile device's proximity to the second communications network. Furthermore, the second and subsequent fingerprint that are generated for a particular communications network can be used to modify the stored fingerprint so as to refine it to improve detecting the proximity to the communications network.
