Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for improving efficiency in IMS registration and management in a wireless communication device, such as a UE. In some scenarios, the UE may, while implementing IMS services (e.g. for VoLTE) over a wireless communication link with a cellular network, determine that the wireless communication link is not performing at an acceptable level. In response, the UE may start a timer and buffer IMS SIP signaling messages while the timer is running. If the wireless communication link performance is restored to an acceptable level before expiration of the timer, the UE may transmit the buffered IMS SIP signaling messages. If the timer expires prior to restoration of the wireless communication link, the buffered messages may be cleared, and the UE may locally deregister from IMS registration and IMS PDN. In some scenarios, select IMS SIP signaling messages may be omitted or removed from the buffer.

Abstract: Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) is a novel modulation scheme with significant benefits for 5G systems. The fundamental theory behind OTFS is presented in this paper as well as its benefits. We start with a mathematical description of the doubly fading delay-Doppler channel and develop a modulation that is tailored to this channel. We model the time varying delay-Doppler channel in the time-frequency domain and derive a new domain (the OTFS domain) where we show that the channel is transformed to a time invariant one and all symbols see the same SNR. We explore aspects of the modulation like delay and Doppler resolution, and address design and implementation issues like multiplexing multiple users and evaluating complexity. Finally we present some performance results where we demonstrate the superiority of OTFS.
