  • Publication number: 20200068468
    Abstract: A first access node of a first wireless access network receives, via a first entry node of the first network, a service-request message from a terminal registered with the first network. The first access node requests first network-capacity information associated with the first wireless access network from the first entry node, and second network-capacity information associated with a second wireless access network from a second access node of the second network. The first access node selects a target access network based on the service-request message and the first and second network-capacity information. The first access node, in response to a selection of the first wireless access network, sends a service-reply message to the first entry node. The first access node, in response to a selection of the second wireless access network, triggers a handover of the terminal to the second wireless access network.

  • Publication number: 20200068456
    Abstract: A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network, configured to in a 5G Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA). When using NSA, a primary communication link is established through the 4G network and a secondary communication link is established through the 5G network. When a 5G secondary link is present, a communication device displays a 5G symbol to indicate 5G network availability. When a secondary link failure occurs, the device is configured to display a 4G network for a time period, regardless of whether other measures indicate that 5G services may be available. When a connection goes from connected mode to idle mode, the communication device displays the 5G symbol for a time period if a 5G secondary link was present at the time when entering idle mode, and otherwise displays a 4G symbol during the time period.

  • Publication number: 20200068482
    Abstract: A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network. The 4G network is accessed through Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base stations. The 5G network is accessed through New Radio (NR) base stations. During idle mode, a communication device may search 5G radio frequency (RF) frequencies to determine whether a 5G signal is available and whether to display a 5G network symbol in the status bar of the device. The communication device is configured to search repeatedly at time intervals of increasing length, until the length reaches an upper limit Upon detecting a change in signal availability, the length is reset to its beginning value.

  • Publication number: 20200022200
    Abstract: A cellular communication network may be configured to use a primary Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base station and a secondary New Radio (NR) base station to implement a Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) configuration. The primary LTE base station broadcasts system information, for reception by the communication device, using System Information Blocks (SIBs). The secondary NR base station, however, may be configured to not broadcast certain system information. Rather, system information of the NR base station is specified to the communication device in communications from the LTE base station during setup of an NR data connection. When there is a change in the system information of the NR base station, the network is configured to forgo updating the communication device with the new system information at least until the existing NR data connection is terminated.

  • Publication number: 20190379469
    Abstract: A wireless communication system may support two types of networks, such as a 4th-Generation (4G) network and a 5th-Generation (5G) network. The 4G network is accessed through Long-Term Evolution (LTE) base stations. The 5G network is accessed through New Radio (NR) base stations. LTE base stations are configured to broadcast information regarding 5G availability. For example, an LTE base station may indicate whether it is configured to support Non-Standalone Architecture (NSA) Dual Connectivity in conjunction with an associated NR base station. When a communication device receives an indication that NSA Dual Connectivity is available, the communication device scans and measures signal strengths on each of multiple frequencies that are potentially being used by the NR base station. This can be done without decoding of the signals. If a signal having a sufficient signal strength is found, the communication device displays a 5G symbol in its status bar.

  • Publication number: 20190320474
    Abstract: A core network element, such as a PCRF and/or an MME, can determine that a Quality of Service (QoS) Class Indicator (QCI) of particular bearer set up between the core network and user equipment (UE) should be changed to a new QCI. When a control node, such as the MME, determines that no teardown delay conditions are met, the control node can send a bearer release message to a base station that instructs the base station to tear down all bearers for the UE, even if they are in use. In a dual connectivity arrangement, such as a E-UTRAN New Radio-Dual Connectivity (EN-DC) configuration, the base station can instruct a secondary base station to also release all bearers for the UE. The control node can instruct the base station to reestablish the particular bearer with the new QCI when the base station reestablishes the bearers for the UE.

  • Publication number: 20190223070
    Abstract: An access network can allocate a bearer for a network service associated with a quality-of-service (QoS) value (QV) and a retention-priority value (RPV), and determine a bearer ID for the service based on the QV, the RPV, and a supplemental priority value (SPV) different from the QV and from the RPV. Upon handover of a terminal, session(s) carried by a bearer allocated by the terminal can be terminated. That bearer can be selected using IDs of the bearers and a comparison function that, given two bearer IDs, determines which respective bearer should be terminated before the other. Upon handover of a terminal to an access network supporting fewer bearers per terminal than the terminal has allocated, a network node can select a bearer based on respective QVs and RPVs of a set of allocated bearers. The network node can deallocate the selected bearer.

  • Publication number: 20190207988
    Abstract: A method of signaling a reason for a downgrade of an enhanced call to an audio-only call. User equipment (UE) can engage, via a telecommunication network, in an enhanced call including audio content and additional content. The UE can generate a downgrade message that requests a downgrade of the enhanced call to an audio-only call that includes the audio content without the additional content. The downgrade message can include a downgrade reason indicator identifying whether the UE is automatically downgrading the enhanced call or whether the UE is instead downgrading the enhanced call due to user instructions. The UE can send the downgrade message to the telecommunication network.

  • Publication number: 20190174394
    Abstract: A connection between mobile terminating (MT) user equipment (UE) and a base station can be established by receiving a paging message at the MT UE from the base station that includes a page reason indicator indicating that the MT UE is being paged for a voice call, and, at least partially in response to receipt of the paging message, sending a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Connection Request message from the MT UE to the base station that includes an establishment cause indicating that the MT UE is requesting a connection with the base station for the voice call. The establishment cause indicating that the MT UE is requesting a connection for a voice call can allow the base station to prioritize the MT UE's RRC Connection Request message over RRC Connection Request messages from other UEs in congested conditions.
