  • Publication number: 20240015614
    Abstract: A wireless communication network serves a wireless User Equipment (UE) over wireless network slices using different handover types. The wireless communication network selects one of the wireless network slices for the wireless UE. The wireless communication network identifies one of the different handover types for the wireless UE based on the selected one of the wireless network slices. The wireless communication network serves the wireless UE over the selected one of the wireless network slices. The wireless communication network wirelessly hands-over the wireless UE from a source wireless access node to a target wireless access node using the identified one of the different handover types.

  • Patent number: 11805480
    Abstract: A wireless access node wirelessly broadcasts System Information Blocks (SIBs) that indicate individual slice characteristics for wireless network slices. A wireless UE wirelessly receives the SIBs, selects one of the slices based on user requirements for a user application and the individual slice characteristics for the slices, and transfers UE capability information that indicates the selected slice to the wireless access node. The wireless access node transfers the UE capability information to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF). The AMF authorizes the wireless UE for the selected slice and selects Quality-of-Service (QoS) parameters for the wireless UE that correspond to the individual slice characteristics for the selected slice. The AMF transfers signaling to the wireless access node to serve the wireless UE per the selected QoS parameters. The wireless access node wirelessly exchanges user data with the wireless UE per the selected QoS parameters.

  • Publication number: 20220232434
    Abstract: A wireless User Equipment (UE) executes a user application and wirelessly exchanges signaling with a wireless communication network over a source frequency band. The UE selects a wireless network slice responsive to the signaling. The UE selects a target frequency band and a handover type based on a characteristic of the wireless network slice. The UE requests the target frequency band and the handover type by wirelessly exchanging signaling with the wireless communication network over the source frequency band. The UE wirelessly exchanges data for the user application with the wireless communication network over the target frequency band. The wireless network slice handles the data to deliver the wireless data service to the wireless UE for the user application. The UE and the wireless communication network use the handover type to handover the wireless UE during the delivery of the wireless data service.

  • Publication number: 20190146658
    Abstract: In a wireless communication device, an operating system directs a first wireless transceiver to support a user application. The first wireless transceiver exchanges user data for the user application. In the wireless communication device, an internet browser identifies when the first wireless transceiver supports the user application and when a second wireless transceiver has wireless connectivity but does not support the user application. The internet browser generates a user prompt to use of the second wireless transceiver to support the user application. The internet browser receives a positive user response to the user prompt and responsively directs the operating system to use the second wireless transceiver to support the user application. The operating system directs the second wireless transceiver to support the user application. In the wireless communication device, the second wireless transceiver exchanges additional user data for the user application.

  • Patent number: 10241641
    Abstract: A wireless communication device may be operated to facilitate directing user applications to use WLAN data connections. One of the user applications generates an application request for a URI, and a browser application requests a translation of the URI into an IP address. An LTE transceiver exchanges wireless data with an LTE network to translate the URI into the IP address. A WLAN transceiver detects a WLAN data connection. The browser application identifies that the LTE transceiver is exchanging wireless data with the LTE network and that the WLAN data connection is detected, and responsively processes a WLAN identifier for the WLAN data connection and an application identifier for the user application to determine if a user WLAN notice should be presented. If the WLAN notice should be presented, the browser application generates the user WLAN notice. The user WLAN notice is displayed to the user on a graphical display.
