The connectivity handover operation includes: identifying a Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN) link, the WWAN link having an associated WWAN location quality identifier; identifying a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) link, the WLAN link having an associated WLAN location quality identifier; monitoring the associated WWAN location quality identifier and the associated WLAN location quality indicator; determining whether the WWAN link should be activated based upon the associated WLAN location quality identifier; and, performing the connectivity handover operation based upon the determining. | 2022-06-23 |
20220201578 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING AND SENDING POLICY - The present disclosure provides a method and a device for determining and sending a policy, and provides a specific method for a terminal device to use a user equipment (UE) policy. Said method includes: a terminal device determining, according to first information, a UE policy used by the terminal device, the first information including at least one piece of the following information: an area where the terminal device is located, a public land mobile network (PLMN) identity (ID) corresponding to the network in which the terminal device is registered or resides, and a usage duration of the UE policy. | 2022-06-23 |

20220201580 | SWITCHABLE COMMUNICATION TRANSPORT FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PRIMARY DEVICES AND VEHICLE HEAD UNITS - In general techniques are described by which to provide switchable communication transport for communication between primary devices and vehicle head units. A primary device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store an operating system and an application. The processor may execute the operating system to present a single communication interface by which the application establishes a first transport between the primary device and a vehicle head unit that facilitates execution of a mode in which the application provides data for presentation by the vehicle head unit. The processor may also execute the application to transmit, during execution of the mode, the data via the first transport, where the operating system switches, during execution of the mode, from the first transport to a second transport. The application transmits, during execution of the mode, the data via the second transport. | 2022-06-23 |
20220201581 | SCG-Side Service Processing Method and Apparatus in Dual Connectivity Scenario - A secondary cell group (SCG) side service processing method includes a master base station that configures a master cell group and a an SCG for a terminal device. In uplink and downlink data transmission processes, when link quality information of a serving cell in the SCG meets a first preset condition, the terminal device obtains link quality information of a neighboring cell of the serving cell determines, based on the link quality information, whether there is a better neighboring cell, and when there is no better neighboring cell, sends a first message to the master base station to enable the master base station to determine, based on the first message, whether to release the SCG. | 2022-06-23 |
