Abstract: Techniques for coalescing alert notifications for applications and/or services to a primary user device of a set of multiple associated user devices within proximity of each other. When a user device is not in proximity to other associated user devices, the user device functions as a primary user device and provides alert notifications based on a default configuration and/or a user configurable setting. When the user device is within proximity of one or more other associated user devices, the user devices exchange relevant capability information and information for applications that are synchronized via network-based services. The user devices negotiate to determine a user device that serves as the primary user device to provide alert notifications for a set of applications and services common to a set of user devices. The other user devices are configured to reduce and/or suppress the alert notifications.

Abstract: Devices and methods for handling phone calls. One device is a user equipment (UE) configured to establish a connection with a first evolved Node B (eNB). A method includes transmitting an invite signal to a further UE for a Voice over LTE (VoLTE) call, receiving an accept signal from the further UE, receiving a fail signal from the first eNB that a dedicated bearer is unavailable, generating a trigger signal in response to receiving the fail signal and transmitting the trigger signal to the first eNB. Another device is a base station (e.g., eNB) that receives a VoLTE call request from a UE, determines whether the eNB has sufficient resources to provide a dedicated bearer. When it is determined the eNB has insufficient resources, the eNB determines whether a further eNB has sufficient resources to provide the dedicated bearer, and determines whether the UE can connect to the further eNB.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a UE is configured to, in response to detecting an absence of received packets associated with a voice call over a first time interval of a pre-determined length, initiate transmission of a first control packet to a base station. In some embodiments, the UE is further configured, based on a response to the first control packet, not to drop the packet-switched voice call at least until expiration of a second time interval of a pre-determined length after transmission of the first control packet. In some embodiments, the absence of received packets is an absence of both voice and silence packets. In some embodiments, based on absence of a response to the first control packet, the UE is configured to drop the packet-switched call.
