  • Patent number: 11671887
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for limiting handoffs in cellular networks. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a quantity of handoffs that are performed between two or more radio access technologies (RATs) during a time period. The UE may determine whether the quantity of handoffs exceeds a handoff threshold within the time period. The UE may reduce a rate of handoffs when the UE determines that the quantity of handoffs exceeds the handoff threshold within the time period. The UE also may select one of the RATs to camp on and maintain the wireless connection when the UE determines that the quantity of handoffs exceeds the handoff threshold. The UE may determine which RAT to camp on based on handoff count information, handoff total connection time information, or contextual awareness information.

  • Publication number: 20230144323
    Abstract: Aspects are provided which allow an MA PDU session to establish over two 3GPP accesses respectively via different PLMNs associated with respective USIMs of a MUSIM device. During registration, the MUSIM UE may transmit a registration request to a base station of a first PLMN indicating a UE capability for a MA PDU session associated with a MUSIM device. The MA PDU session includes a plurality of PDU sessions associated with a single access type. Afterwards, the UE may transmit a PDU session establishment request for a first PDU session of the PDU sessions in the first PLMN and for a second PDU session of the PDU sessions in a second PLMN, where the first PLMN is associated with a first USIM of the UE, and the second PLMN is associated with a second USIM of the UE. Consequently, MA PDU sessions associated with MUSIM devices may be established.

  • Publication number: 20230146571
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a user equipment (UE) to select a data connection based on which applications are active in a foreground process of an application processor. The UE may activate a dedicated data subscription (DDS) based on a list of active applications. In some aspects, the UE may programmatically initiate a DDS switch based on which applications are active. The UE may determine which data connection to activate as the DDS based on the application configuration information and which applications are active. Application configuration information may indicate preferences regarding different data connections to use for each application. The application configuration information may indicate a preferred radio access technology (RAT), a preferred communication network, a preferred subscription, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 11638312
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for communicating, by a user equipment (UE), over multiple slices. A method that may be performed by the UE includes transmitting, from an operating system (OS) to a modem, an indication of a start network request originating from an application, the transmitting of the indication based on a determination that a traffic descriptor associated with the application is a non-default descriptor. The method may also include determining one or more parameters for establishing a new network connection for the application, the one or more parameters determined based on a routing policy that provides mapping between the traffic descriptor and the one or more parameters.

  • Patent number: 11622323
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) modem stores a route selection policy (URSP), the URSP associating each of a plurality of data network name (DNN) identifiers and a corresponding slice, wherein a first DNN identifier (ID) is associated with a first DNN and a first slice and a second DNN ID is associated with the first DNN and a second slice different than the first slice. The modem establishes a first protocol data unit (PDU) session with the first DNN and the first slice in response to receiving a first indication to start a first network interface associated with the first DNN ID. The modem establishes a second PDU session with the first DNN and the second slice in response to receiving a second indication to start a second network interface associated with the second DNN ID.

  • Publication number: 20220417737
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for tracking network traffic for local area network (LAN) subnets in a wireless wide area network (WWAN). In some implementations, a UE of the WWAN may assign a unique public IP address to each router of the LAN. The UE may transmit network traffic received from the LAN to the WWAN. The network traffic originating from any router of the LAN may be associated with the unique public IP address that was assigned to that router. The WWAN may use the unique public IP addresses to generate network traffic information that may indicate amounts of network traffic flowing from each router of the LAN. The WWAN, for example, may use the network traffic information to determine billing information for any router in the LAN.
