Patent number: 10897773Abstract: An architecture, for a cellular communications system, is described herein in which a “bearer-less” model is used for both the radio interface and the network core. Instead of using an individual Layer 2 bearer for each Quality of Service (QoS) class, in the architecture described herein, a common Layer 2 connection (e.g., a Layer 2 “fat pipe”) may be used to handle traffic flows between a User Equipment (UE) device and an external Packet Data Network (PDN). Additionally, a bearer-less architecture may be used in the radio interface (i.e., between User Equipment (UE) and the eNB).Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Stojanovski, Muthaiah Venkatachalam, Richard Burbidge

Publication number: 20210014923Abstract: Embodiments herein provide a transfer framework and procedure for a failure indication and subsequent recover message for a user equipment (UE) in multi-radio access technology (MR)-dual connectivity (DC). For example, in embodiments, a UE may send an indication of a radio link failure (RLF) on a master node (MN) to a secondary node (SN) via a signalling radio bearer type 3 (SRB3).

Patent number: 10455505Abstract: Technology described herein relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media to implement extended Discontinuous Reception (eDRX) for user equipments (UEs). A Mobility Management Entity (MME) can be aware of the starting time and length of an eDRX cycle of a UE so that the MME can send a paging message for the UE to an evolved Node B (eNB) shortly ahead of a Paging Occasion (PO). In some examples, more than one PO can be included within an eDRX cycle. An eDRX timer can be used to control the duration of waking times and, if desired, to maintain legacy compatibility. Additional examples provide a way for the MME to update calculations regarding the starting time and length of eDRX cycle of the UE such that the MME will continue to be apprised of when the UE will be reachable when the UE moves between cells.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: INTEL IP CORPORATIONInventors: Sangeetha Bangolae, Alexandre Stojanovski, Marta Martinez Tarradell, Richard Burbidge, Puneet Jain

Publication number: 20190320483Abstract: Techniques described herein may be used to enable User Equipment (UE) to switch between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) while transitioning from an inactive state to an active state. For example. a UE may connect to a base station via one type of RAT (e.g., Long-Term Evolution (LTE) RAT), enter an inactive state, and later, while transitioning from the inactive state to an active state, connect to another base station via another type of RAT (e.g., a New Radio (NR) or 5th Generation (5G) RAT). The UE may transition from one RAT to another RAT without increasing signaling between the UE and the network beyond minimal signaling involved in a transition of the UE from the inactive state to an active state. The network may further minimize signaling by determining and communicating minimized connection configuration information to the UE.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2017Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Sudeep Palat, Richard Burbidge, Yujian Zhang, Candy Yiu, Marta Martinez Tarradell, Youn Hyoung Heo, Alexandre Stojanovski, Sangeetha Bangolae
