Patent number: 10111118Abstract: Embodiments of system and method configurations for device discovery and connection establishment in connection with use of device-to-device (D2D) and proximity-based services are generally described herein. In some examples, an evolved packet core (EPC) of a 3GPP Long Term Evolution or 3GPP Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) network is arranged to assist D2D identification and discovery procedures at user equipment (UEs) connected to the LTE/LTE-A network. Various identification and discovery procedures may be implemented in connection with proximity detection and the establishment of communication times for the establishment of the D2D communication link, between the UEs. Accordingly, the EPC of the LTE/LTE-A network may assist the establishment of a device-to-device communication link between UEs on a wireless network employing a distinct wireless protocol (for example, a direct wireless network connection via a wireless local area network (WLAN) or wireless personal area network (WPAN)).Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kerstin Johnsson, Muthaiah Venkatachalam, Alexandre Saso Stojanovski

Publication number: 20180288657Abstract: Systems and methods of providing 5G access for a UE are generally described. The UE is simultaneously connected via dual radio operation to a legacy and 5G access system. The UE mobility management states for the access systems are independent of each other. The EPC and 5G CN share an HSS and may share a IP anchor. When handover occurs between access systems, the IP address is retained and the IP anchor used when the UE transmits an Attach Request having a Handover Attach Request Type and otherwise a new IP address is provided and the HSS but not the IP anchor is common between the access systems. The 5G eNB to which the UE is connected is standalone and connected to the 5G CN or dual mode and connected with an EPC via an LTE anchor in addition to the 5G CN.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2016Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Alexandre Saso Stojanovski, Muthaiah Venkatachalam

Patent number: 9781556Abstract: Embodiments for providing network-assisted to direct device discovery switch are generally described herein. In some embodiments, location information is received at an evolved packet core (EPC) from at least a first and a second user equipment (UE). A network-assisted device-to-device (D2D) request is received from the first UE for establishing a D2D wireless connection with the second UE. Proximity of the first UE and the second UE are monitored. Before detecting the second UE being in proximity to the first UE, direct discovery is determined to be more resource efficient than continuing to provide network-assisted D2D discovery. An indication is provided to the first UE and the second UE to perform direct discovery based on information provided in the indication.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kerstin Johnsson, Alexandre Saso Stojanovski, Muthaiah Venkatachalam

Publication number: 20170272997Abstract: A method for offloading traffic in a wireless communication system, receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a deactivate bearer request indicating reactivation is required for a packet data network (PDN) connection, wherein the deactivate bearer request is triggered by a Mobility Management Entity (MME) which has obtained subscription data for the UE from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) and has received local gateway (L-GW) information indicating a transport layer address of a L-GW being capable of offloading the traffic, wherein the subscription data for the UE is defined based on an Access Point Name (APN), wherein the subscription data for the UE includes a first information element indicating whether a corresponding traffic associated with the APN is allowed for Selected IP Traffic Offload (SIPTO) and a second information element indicating whether the corresponding traffic associated with the APN is allowed for Selected IP Traffic Offload via Local Network (SIPTO@LN).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2017Publication date: September 21, 2017Applicant: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Alexandre Saso STOJANOVSKI, Hyun Sook KIM, Jae Hyun KIM, Tae Hyeon KIM, Lae Young KIM

Publication number: 20170257906Abstract: Technology that allows PDN connections for a UE to be resumed efficiently after WLAN connectivity is lost and then regained are disclosed. A UE can have a multi-legged or multi-access packet-data-network (PDN) connection that is used to communicate with a WLAN and with an eNB. When WLAN connectivity is lost, the UE can send a WLAN-connectivity-loss communication to a PDN-GW via the eNB. A TWAG can also detect that the UE's WLAN connectivity has been lost and can send a suspension communication to the PDN-GW. The TWAG can also store PDN context information for the UE for a predefined period of time. When the UE regains WLAN connectivity, the UE can send a WLAN-link-control-protocol (WLCP) communication to the TWAG indicating that the UE wishes to resume one or more PDN connections that were previously suspended.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2015Publication date: September 7, 2017Inventors: Vivek GUPTA, Alexandre Saso STOJANOVSKI

Patent number: 9693275Abstract: For traffic offload via a local network, a MME may obtain from a HSS, subscription data including SIPTO related permissions defined on APN basis that indicate SIPTO prohibited, indicate SIPTO allowed excluding SIPTO via Local Network (SIPTO@LN), and/or indicate SIPTO allowed including SIPTO@LN. Then, the MME may obtain information about one or more local Gateways (GWs) capable of offloading selected traffic, such information indicating which of the one or more local GWs provides access to which Packet Data Networks (PDNs), with each PDN being identified by its associated APN. Finally, the MME may process PDN connections and/or PDN disconnections in order to support offloading of the selected traffic. The counterpart UE includes the appropriate means of hardware and/or software that is configured to support and perform SIPTO@LN.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Alexandre Saso Stojanovski, Hyun Sook Kim, Jae Hyun Kim, Tae Hyeon Kim, Lae Young Kim

Patent number: 9609602Abstract: When a UE in an LTE system enters the RRC_IDLE state, only the S5/S8 EPS bearer context is retained, and the S1-U, S1-AP and radio bearers are released. These bearers have to be re-established on per UE basis when the UE returns to RRC_CONNECTED state. A number of UE applications may send small data frequently, which causes the UE to toggle between IDLE and CONNECTED states. This leads to a great deal of signaling overhead as the radio bearer and the S1-U bearer must be frequently re-established as the UE transitions between IDLE to CONNECTED states. Described herein are methods and systems that provide an always-on S1-U bearer to reduce this signaling overhead.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Puneet Jain, Varun Rao, Alexandre Saso Stojanovski
