Publication number: 20200008069Abstract: Systems and methods provide reliable voice connections and highest possible data rates in New Radio dual-connectivity environments, given limitations of available spectrum. A system includes a first wireless station and a second wireless station. The first wireless station provides a shared spectrum of a first frequency band, the shared spectrum including a first spectrum for a first cellular wireless standard and a second spectrum for a second cellular wireless standard. The second wireless station is at least partially within a coverage area of the first wireless station and provides a third spectrum for the second cellular wireless standard. The third spectrum is a millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum. The first wireless station broadcasts cell parameters barring an end device in an idle mode from camping on the second spectrum. The first wireless station or the second wireless station triggers the end device to swap to the second spectrum when a paging request for a voice call is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Inventors: Lily Zhu, Ratul Kumar Guha, Jignesh S.

Patent number: 10193995Abstract: Systems described herein control communication paths used for machine-type communications (MTC) devices in a wireless network. The systems store a subscriber profile for an MTC device, including an APN configuration that differentiates, for non-IP-type communications, types of bearer paths between the MTC device and an ePC network; receive an attach request from the MTC device; retrieve the subscriber profile; and determine if the subscriber profile indicates an APN configuration for a non-IP bearer. When the subscriber profile indicates an APN configuration for a non-IP bearer, the systems identify in the subscriber profile an MTC-ePC delivery mechanism, between the MTC device and the ePC network, as a user plane or a control plane.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lalit R.
