Signaling and interaction between the wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and various network entities, such as the Mobility Management Entity (MME), the Visitor Location Register (VLR), and Base Stations (BS), are used to implement circuit switched fall back (CSFB) in a PS system. | 2014-06-26 |
20140177597 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTER-USER DEVICE TRANSFER (IUT) IN A NETWORK BASED MOBILITY DOMAIN - A method and apparatus for performing Inter-User Equipment Transfer (IUT) across any internet protocol (IP) based network. This framework allows for preparation, execution and completion of data transfer at a target device through registration with a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) and receipt of an IUT request. The target device receives and stores an IP address or a source device. The IP address is used to transmit session information. | 2014-06-26 |
20140177598 | Handover Signaling in Wireless Networks - A first base station transmits at least one message to configure at least one backward compatible carrier and at least one non-backward compatible carrier in a wireless device. The first base station transmits, in response to the first base station making a handover decision, a second message to a second base station. The second message comprises parameters indicating whether the wireless device supports configuration of non-backward compatible carriers, configuration information of at least one backward compatible carrier and/or configuration information of at least one non-backward compatible carrier. | 2014-06-26 |
20140177599 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENABLING CIRCUIT SWITCHED FALLBACK SERVICE IN EVOLVED PACKET SYSTEM - The present document discloses a method and system for enabling a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) service in an Evolved Packet System (EPS). The method may include, after accessing an EPS network, the User Equipment (UE) triggering the CSFB service when it executes the Circuit Switching (CS) network service, and the UE transmitting a CS network service request carrying a CSFB indication to a Mobility Management Entity (MME). The method may also include, after receiving the CS network service request carrying the CSFB indication transmitted by the UE, the MME indicating an Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunication System Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) to switch the UE to the CS network, and the E-UTRAN initiating the switching to switch the UE to the CS network through an MME and the Mobile Switching Center (MSC) with which the UE jointly registers when accessing the EPS network. | 2014-06-26 |
