  • COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180176135
    Abstract: A data flow control method and communication device operable to communicate using a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT are described. In a data flow control method, data flow congestion is detected. The congestion can be detected on a first communication link associated with the first RAT. The communication device can be controlled to enter a reduced power operating mode for communications via the first communication link. The entry of the reduced power mode can induce a base station supporting the second communication link associated with the second RAT to perform one or more data flow control operations. A data flow control method can include dropping data packets on a lower protocol layer to induce a higher protocol layer to perform a data flow control operation. The data flow control operation can induce the network to reduce data flow.

  • SYSTEMS, METHODS AND DEVICES FOR TRAFFIC OFFLOADING
    Publication number: 20180132127
    Abstract: Wireless communication traffic can be offloaded from a user equipment (UE) to two wireless points of access. For example, user equipment (UE) is connected to a radio access network (RAN) using a radio access technology (RAT) such as a long term evolution (LTE) network. The UE can determine which network capabilities are available for traffic offloading and adapt to the capabilities presented. In one embodiment, the UE can determine whether the network supports three different configurations and configure traffic offloading to operate within the network conditions: (1) RAN rules without access network detection and selection function (ANDSF), (2) ANDSF in conjunction with RAN rules or (3) enhanced ANDSF with RAN assistance.
