Abstract: A method to support two scenarios in trusted wireless local area network (WLAN) access is provided herein. The method may be performed, for example, by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes requesting a nonseamless wireless offload (NSWO) connection to a network during an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) procedure and receiving, after successful authentication, at least one of an internet protocol (IP) address or a reason code from a network entity indicating NSWO is not allowed.

Abstract: A method of wireless communication by a UE includes receiving an indication information; determining, based on the indication information, whether a connection of the UE is authorized to be offloaded from a first channel to a second channel; determining, when the connection is not authorized to be offloaded, whether there is an ongoing handover procedure to offload the connection of the UE from the first channel to the second channel or whether the indication information is received in a message corresponding to a request to deactivate a default evolved packet system (EPS) bearer of the connection of the UE. The method further includes disregarding the indication information when the connection is not authorized to be offloaded and it is determined that either there is an ongoing handover procedure to offload the connection of the UE from the first channel to the second channel or the message corresponds to a request to deactivate a default EPS bearer of the connection.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to switching data paths in a wireless device having first and second processors. The wireless device may determine a change to a service, the service using a first data path including a first internet protocol (IP) stack on the first processor and lower layer processing on a wireless modem, the first data path providing a tunneled connection to the service through a network. The wireless device may establish a second data path for the service, the second data path including a second IP stack on the second processor including tunneling to the service through the network and the lower layer processing on the wireless modem. The wireless device may switch the service from the first data path to the second data path in response to establishing the second data path. The first processor may be placed in a power save mode.

Abstract: Aspects disclosed herein relate to enabling fallback to a second data service based on whether one or more fallback conditions are present before or during establishing a data context with a first data service. In one example, a UE may be configured to determine whether one or more fallback conditions are present before or during establishing a data session with a first data service. The UE may be further configured to prohibit further attempts to establish a data context to access the first data service based on the determination of the presence of at least one of the one or more fallback conditions. Some aspects disclosed herein relate to enabling fallback to a HRPD data service based on whether one or more fallback conditions are present before or during establishing a data context with an eHRPD data service.

The second WLAN interface may include a data path between the WLAN chipset and the modem subsystem. The data path may bypass the AP subsystem. A second method includes establishing a WLAN interface between a WLAN chipset and AP subsystem, and dynamically managing WLAN connectivity through the WLAN interface using a modem subsystem.

Abstract: A method enables a user equipment (UE) intervention to reduce a network-initiated Quality of Service (QoS) interruption time or a disruption of the network-initiated QoS, while avoiding application intervention. The method includes communicating with a source radio access network (RAN) in accordance with a network-initiated quality of service (QoS) profile. The method also includes transferring to a target RAN. The method further includes triggering, by a user equipment (UE), a QoS setup to reestablish the QoS profile.

Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus receives information from a network for discarding a data packet, identifies a data packet to be transmitted, determines whether the identified data packet is associated with at least one packet filter of a traffic flow template (TFT), and discards the identified data packet based on whether the identified data packet is associated with the at least one packet filter of the TFT. In an aspect, the apparatus identifies a data packet to be transmitted, determines whether the data packet is associated with at least one packet filter of the TFT, deactivates a link flow associated with the data packet based on whether the data packet is associated with the at least one packet filter of the TFT, and provides information to a device to discard the data packet associated with the deactivated link flow.

The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive from a base station access parameters corresponding to respective types of access controls for different types of data services, receive a TFT established at a core network based on mapping a packet filter to access control information for each type of access control, receive a data packet from an application, match the data packet to the packet filter to determine access control information corresponding to the data packet, and establish communication for the data packet based on access parameters for the determined access control information. Alternatively, the apparatus may be policy server configured to receive a request for traffic control regarding data being communicated to an application server, determine a policy update for the application server based on the request, and transmit the policy update to a UE.

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 method for maintaining IP context during an inter RAT handover of a UE between an eHRPD network and an LTE network may include delaying a transfer of an Internet Protocol context for at least one active packet data network until an IP address for an attach (PDN) Packet Data Network has been assigned and in the case where the Internet Protocol address for the Attach Packet Data Network is not assigned, initiating a detach operation from the LTE network without the user equipment losing the Internet Protocol context of the at least one active Packet Data Network.

Abstract: A method is performed by a device. The method includes determining whether the device is allowed to attach to an operator network based at least partially on whether all access point names in a minimum access point name list are enabled in the device. The device allows itself to attach to the operator network if it is determined that the device is allowed to attach to the operator network. The device prevents itself from attaching to the operator network if it is determined that the device is not allowed to attach to the operator network. The device can wirelessly receive a command to disable an access point name in the device. If an access point name on a detach access point name list is disabled, then the device detaches from the operator network and prevents itself from reattaching until an integrated circuit card in the device is removed and replaced.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus described herein include features that enable efficient management of keep-alive messages utilized to maintain IP addresses and/or PDN connections associated with idle data traffic channels. An access terminal may consolidate keep-alive messages for idle data traffic channels, reducing the number of keep-alive messages transmitted. An access terminal may select which idle data traffic channels to maintain, and may transmit a consolidated keep-alive message for associated IP addresses and/or PDN connections. Timers may be associated with PDN connections and sub-timers may be associated with IP addresses associated with a PDN connection. Keep-alive messages can be consolidated based on the timers, sub-timers and/or combination of timers and sub-timers. In a complementary method, a PDN gateway or other network node cooperates with access terminals to reduce network traffic.
