  • Publication number: 20180279216
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses exemplified in this disclosure provide mechanisms for a wireless communication device to indicate its Radio Access Technology (RAT) preferences to a wireless communication network, and for a wireless communication network to consider the RAT preferences of a given device when deciding which RAT the device will use. As a non-limiting example of the advantages flowing from these mechanisms, devices operating within a network that includes or is associated with multiple RATs can indicate their preferences for which RAT they use, while still allowing the network to retain control of the RAT selection decisions. Such flexibility offers significant advantages in 5G networks that provide tight integration between multiple RATs—e.g., between LTE and NR air interfaces. However, the methods and apparatuses disclosed herein are not limited to 5G networks.

  • Patent number: 9942795
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a radio device 4 connected to a communication network 1 comprising a core network (CN) and a Radio Access Network (RAN), where there is a communication bearer between the radio device and the CN via the RAN comprising a radio bearer between the radio device and a RAN node of the RAN, for adapting a Quality of Service (QoS) of the communication bearer. The method comprises, to the CN, sending a request for a first QoS to be associated with the communication bearer. The method also comprises exchanging data over the radio bearer in accordance with the first QoS of the communication bearer. The method also comprises, to the RAN, sending an indication that a second QoS, lower than the first QoS, should be used for the radio bearer. The method also comprises exchanging data over the radio bearer in accordance with the second QoS.

  • Publication number: 20180084504
    Abstract: A wireless communication device and method therein for handling connection state changes in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The wireless communication device comprises at least two SIMs, in which a first SIM is in a first original connection state towards a first network node, a second SIM is in a second original connection state towards a second network node. The wireless communication device first determines whether a battery power in the wireless communication device is below a first threshold. When the battery power is below the first threshold, the wireless communication device selects a SIM out of the at least two SIMs for which to change its original connection state to a third connection state based on a parameter. The third connection state is a connection state implying lower power consumption for the wireless communication device compared to its original connection state.
