Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for handling limited or unavailable uplink (UL). One method may include receiving, from a user equipment, an indication that uplink transmission is limited or unavailable.

Methods and apparatuses for limited uplink

There is provided a method, comprising: detecting, by a first network node from a user equipment, a connection request to a first radio access technology, RAT; determining, before the user equipment is switched to a connected state in the first RAT, whether a second RAT is more suitable to serve the user equipment than the first RAT; and upon deciding that the second RAT is more suitable, providing the user equipment with connection information of the second RAT, wherein the connection information causes the user equipment to directly connect with the second RAT instead of the first RAT.

Connection establishment in inter-RAT communication system

A technique includes determining, by a user device, a first preferred downlink beam, sending, by the user device to a base station, an indication of the first preferred downlink beam, receiving, by the user device from the base station, a temporary configuration information at least for use in reporting an updated or second preferred downlink beam, detecting that the user device has not received a connection response message from the base station indicating that a connection has been established between the user device and the base station, determining, by the user device, a second preferred downlink beam, sending, by the user device to a base station in response to the detecting and based at least in part on the temporary configuration information, an indication of the second preferred downlink beam to the base station, and receiving, via the second preferred downlink beam, a connection response message from the base station.

Connection setup recovery for wireless networks

An apparatus may include a processor configured to receive a request for a service or content from a first device. The processor may be further configured to receive a user's context information from a second device. The processor may additionally be configured to filter the requested service or content based at least in part upon the user's context information. The processor may be further configured to provide the filtered service or content to the first device. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for providing filtered services and content based on user context

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method comprising: sending, by a user equipment, a radio resource control (RRC) message, wherein the RRC message triggers transition of the user equipment from an RRC inactive state to an RRC connected state, wherein the RRC message is interpreted as a radio access network notification area (RNA) update; and receiving, by the user equipment, an RRC response message. The RRC message comprises a cause value indicating a combined RNA update with a non-access stratum (NAS) message.

Combined RRC inactive resume, RRC RNA and NAS registration procedure

A method comprising determining to provide for adjustment of a first setting, causing display of a first curvilinear slider interface element that relates to a value of the first setting, receiving an indication of a drag input associated with the first curvilinear slider interface element, causing adjustment movement of the selection point relative to the curvilinear slider interface element in proportion to the drag input, and determining a value of the first setting is based, at least in part, on a position of the first selection point relative to curvilinear slider interface element is disclosed.

Method and apparatus for a slider interface element

An approach is provided for optimizing data (e.g., media) transfer. Retrieval is initiated for information relating to transfer of media to one or more devices. It is determined whether a particular media that is to be transferred to the one or more devices is new to the one or more devices using the retrieved information. Transfer of the particular media to the devices is initiated in which the particular media is determined to be new.

Method and apparatus for adaptive media transfer

Associating user identities with a network service involves detecting, at a first device, a subscriber identity previously associated with a second device. The second device was used to register a user identity with a network service, and the user identity includes a phone number of the second device and an account identifier generated by the network service for use with the second device. The network service is accessed from the first device and the first device receives a new identifier from the service. The first device registers with the service via a communication channel that utilizes a phone number of the first device to establish communication. In response to the phone number of the first device matching the phone number of the second device, the first device accesses the service using the user identity associated with the second device.
