  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20190098681
    Abstract: A mobile communications device is configured to implement dual connectivity, using both a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) radio and a 5th-Generation (5G) radio, for communicating with respective base stations of a cellular network. A primary transmission uplink is established in a first radio frequency band using the LTE radio. The device may then receive a request to establish a secondary transmission uplink in a second frequency band. Upon receiving the request, the device determines whether it can support concurrent use of the primary and secondary frequency bands while maintaining adequate receiver sensitivity. If the device cannot support such concurrent use, the device refuses the request. In addition, the device provides data indicating the degree by which certain performance parameters would be out-of-tolerance if the secondary connection were to be established.

  • Publication number: 20180084431
    Abstract: The techniques described herein enable a commercial cellular service provider to use a repurposed portion of spectrum to provide cellular service to a customer base while ensuring that the use of the repurposed portion of spectrum does not interfere with a previous use of the repurposed portion of spectrum by an incumbent entity. The techniques determine, and manage the use of, forbidden cells and clean cells. A “forbidden” cell is a cell in which a previous use of spectrum by an incumbent entity is protected. A “clean” cell is a cell that can be freely used by the commercial cellular service provider without a possibility of interference with a protected use of the spectrum by the incumbent entity.

  • Patent number: 9408118
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to cell selection of a telecommunication device based on mobility management algorithms for idle mode cell selection routines and handover routines. The mobility management algorithm can utilize the BTS class of the infrastructure equipment to help determine cell selection. The BTS class of the infrastructure equipment can be used to determine the geographic size of the coverage area that the infrastructure equipment provides. These algorithms can be used to help handle mobility management for telecommunication device.
