Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for a wireless communication device having multiple Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) in which a first SIM is associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) subscription used for IMS services. The method includes but not limited to, attaching the IMS subscription to a first cell of a packet-switched cellular network, determining a cause of IMS voice service being not currently available at the IMS subscription, determining availability of a wireless local area network (WLAN) connection at the IMS subscription, and providing voice service at the IMS subscription based on the cause of IMS voice service being not currently available and the availability of the WLAN connection at the IMS subscription.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to apparatuses and methods for a network to manage communications for a plurality of wireless communication devices including, but not limited to, registering, by the network, the plurality of wireless communication devices associated with a same subscription identifier, identifying, by the network, each of the plurality of wireless communication devices based, at least in part, on device capabilities associated with each of the plurality of wireless communication devices, and routing, by the network, communications to or from each of the plurality of wireless communication devices based, at least in part, on the device capabilities.

Abstract: An earphone device includes wireless communication circuitry, a decoder coupled to the wireless communication circuitry, and a speaker coupled to the wireless communication circuitry. The wireless communication circuitry is configured to send, in accordance with an audio video remote control profile (AVRCP) protocol to a source device, a notification of a configuration corresponding to a left audio configuration or a right audio configuration. The decoder is configured to decode, based on the configuration, an audio stream from an audio signal to generate a decoded audio stream. The speaker is configured to generate an audio output based on the decoded audio stream.

Abstract: Various features related to methods and apparatus for supporting broadcast services, e.g., emergency and/or commercial broadcast messages, over LANs, are described. In some configurations broadcast of emergency related messages is offloaded from a cellular network/WWAN to a WLAN, for transmission to devices over the WLAN thereby reducing the overload and/or cost associated with cellular networks and/or extending the emergency broadcast services to users who maybe out of WWAN coverage. Various configurations are described for routing of broadcast messages from the WWAN nodes to a WLAN AP via a WWAN ePDG. The WLAN AP may receive an emergency broadcast message from the ePDG, and broadcast the received emergency broadcast message in a data frame to at least one UE. The emergency broadcast message maybe routed through one or more of a CBC, an MME, an SGW, or a PGW to the ePDG.
