  • Apparatus and methods for signaling out-of-standard capability in wireless communication networks
    Patent number: 9585008
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a number of approaches to deploy out-of-standard (or proprietary) features/enhancements that are not supported in the current communication standards. A mobile terminal and a network can mutually agree to support certain out-of-standard features/enhancements, and communicate support of such out-of-standard or non-standard features/enhancements by adapting or repurposing currently unused (or reserved) signaling data.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and method for signaling network capabilities for a wireless device
    Patent number: 9456337
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for wireless communication in a wireless communication network include maintaining a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) list and receiving an information request from a network, wherein the information request is associated with configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list. Aspects of the methods and apparatus configuring the UE based on the configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list. Aspects also include replying to the network that the UE is configured with the configuration parameters associated with the PLMN list.

  • Selective state transitions of a user equipment within a wireless communications system
    Patent number: 8447291
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) determines that a client application has entered a period of transmission inactivity whereby the UE will not be required to transmit data on behalf of the client application. The UE selectively transmits a transmission inactivity notification to an access network (AN) to notify the AN of the transmission inactivity period. The AN receives the transmission inactivity notification and determines to transition the UE from a first state to a second state based at least in part on the received transmission inactivity notification, the second state associated with lower-power consumption of the UE than the first state. The AN sends instructions to the UE to facilitate the transition of the UE from the first state to the second state. In another embodiment, the AN can send instructions to the UE to prohibit the UE from sending transmission inactivity notifications.
