Abstract: Embodiments include methods implemented by a processor of a mobile communication device for managing tune-aways by a radio frequency resource supporting a first subscription to support a second subscription. The processor may determine a data loss ratio of the data of a media file that is lost in transmission to the mobile communication device. The processor may compare the data loss ratio of the data to a first data loss ratio threshold and a second data loss ratio threshold, and the processor may block a tune-away event of the radio frequency resource from the first subscription to the second subscription in response to determining that the data loss ratio of the data is greater than the first data loss ratio threshold and less than the second data loss ratio threshold.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for communication in a network. The apparatus sends a multicast message to a network device. The multicast message facilitates discovery of an unknown IP address of the network device. The apparatus determines whether a first response message is received from the network device in response to the multicast message and determines the IP address of the network device from the first response message when the first response message is received from the network device. The apparatus establishes a secure connection with the network device using the determined IP address. The apparatus sends a link status check message to the network device to detect a failed end-to-end link between the apparatus and the network device.

The apparatus determines a timing of each of one or more audio transmissions of one or more audio segments through Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) streaming via a first radio access technology (RAT), where the MBMS streaming includes the one or more audio segments and one or more video segments. The apparatus refrains from tuning away from the first RAT to a second RAT during at least one audio transmission of the one or more audio transmissions, the second RAT being different than the first RAT.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for determining a quality estimation of a wireless network that may be used to determine whether a particular wireless network meets one or more criteria for association with a station. The quality estimation may be based on a load quality of a basic service set (BSS) of an available wireless network and/or one or more wide area network (WAN) metrics associated with the wireless network. A station may evaluate such load quality and WAN metrics prior to association, and/or after association with a wireless network.

Abstract: Various aspects directed towards expediting an inter-RAT (radio access technology) reselection are disclosed. A user equipment (UE) operates according to a first RAT and utilizes an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast service (eMBMS) via the first RAT. A second RAT, which is unable to support eMBMS, is selected such that operation of the UE transitions from the first RAT to the second RAT. A reselection of the first RAT is then expedited by modifying at least one of a dormancy timer value initialization, a reselection timer value initialization, or a frequency priority.

Abstract: A communication session between a node seeking network access and a NAS (Network Access Server) is established by having only few exchanges of messages. Upon detecting a physical link between the node and the NAS, the NAS immediately sends an authentication request message to the node. In response, the node sends a request message which includes all parameters options, in addition to responding to the authentication request message, for link configuration and network access control. The NAS then picks and chooses the parameter options and sends back the selected options in a reply message to the node. If the selected options in the reply message meet a threshold, the node straightforwardly transmits user data for network access via the NAS.
