A device and method for registering devices on advanced networks as well as providing operative communications between a legacy device and a advanced network. The legacy device may contain data, such as sensor data, which is being collected on a network outside the communication range/abilities of the legacy device. An intermediary device may receive the data via a first communication scheme and send the device to a server collecting the data via a second communication scheme.

Method and a wireless device for collecting sensor data from a remote device having a limited range wireless communication capability

Representative methods, apparatus and systems to adjust Do Not Disturb (DND) levels in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed. One representative method includes determining, by the WTRU, that a user of the WTRU is participating or is going to participate in a meeting; obtaining, by the WTRU, organizational hierarchy information; determining a priority associated with one or more meeting participants based on the organizational hierarchy information; and adjusting, without user input, a DND level of the WTRU based on the determined priority.

Methods, apparatus and systems for adjusting do-not-disturb (DND) levels based on callers and meeting attendees

Methods, systems, and instrumentalities are described to obtain application-based connectivity. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) may, in response to a request to access a connectivity-sponsored application, establish a control connection over a first access network for contacting an application connectivity coordinator. The establishment of control connection may include sending an attach request, receiving an IP address for a control link to the application connectivity coordinator, and receiving an IP address. Using the control connection, the WTRU may send an access network discovery request to the application connectivity coordinator. The WTRU may receive, from the application connectivity coordinator, a list of access networks. The WTRU may select a second access network from the list of access networks to access the connectivity-sponsored application.

Connectivity augmented services architecture, discovery and connection

Methods, apparatus and systems for managing an exposure of a network to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) are disclosed. One representative method includes receiving, by an access point (AP) of the network, information associated with the WTRU; and selectively exposing, by the AP, the network.

Methods, apparatus and systems for wireless network selection

A user may point a control device at a controllable device for which control is desired, and the control device may detect the targeted controllable device. Additionally, the control device may detect a plurality of wireless nodes and list the available wireless nodes. For example, the control device may identify wireless nodes associated with a room in the house, or the control device may detect the wireless nodes within a certain range. The list may be a selectable list and a user may select the desired device to control from the list. Upon detection or user selection, the control device may establish control of the wireless node and initiate actions associated with the selected device.

Addressing wireless nodes

A user may point a control device at a controllable device for which control is desired, and the control device may detect the targeted controllable device. Additionally, the control device may detect a plurality of wireless nodes and list the available wireless nodes. For example, the control device may identify wireless nodes associated with a particular room in the house, or the control device may detect the wireless nodes within a certain range. The list may be a selectable list and a user may select the desired device to control from the list. Upon detection or user selection, the control device may establish control of the wireless node and initiate actions associated with the selected device.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to communicate traffic flow information to a network. A user equipment (UE) may detect a traffic flow (e.g., using one or more of the traffic detection implementations described herein). A 5-tuple associated with the traffic flow may be unknown by the network. The UE may issue an alert to the network. The alert may indicate to the network that the traffic flow has been detected. The UE may determine the 5-tuple associated with the traffic flow. The UE may report the 5-tuple to the network. The report may be in response to one or more of: a request received from the network requesting traffic flow information; or, a determination that a first policy condition has been met.

Managing data mobility policies

Systems, apparatuses and methods for bandwidth management, aggregation and internet protocol ('IP') flow mobility ('IFOM') across multiple-access technologies are provided. Included is a method that includes selecting, from a packet data network (&#x201c;PDN&#x201d;) connection formed through a plurality of access systems communicatively coupled with a wireless transmit and/or receive unit (&#x201c;WTRU&#x201d;), an access system over which to transport a flow of internet protocol (&#x201c;IP&#x201d;) traffic to and/or from the WTRU. The method may also include sending, to the WTRU, a request to associate the flow of IP traffic with the selected access system.

Bandwidth management, aggregation and internet protocol flow mobility across multiple-access technologies

Embodiments for enabling traffic content identification by a wireless transmit/receive unit are provided. The WTRU may store interface binding entries in a database associating links in a web page to various traffic content types, such as video, audio, and text. Upon a request to access one of the links, a socket may be created based on a data mobility policy associated with the traffic content type. Alternately, the database may associate the links directly to interface types based on the data mobility policies. The Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) may provide the data mobility policies to the WTRU.

Methods, apparatus and systems for traffic identification

Systems and methods for integrating bandwidth management (BWM) equipment into a network in order to manage the use of bandwidth over multiple radio access technologies (RATs) relating to communications between a wireless transmit receive unit and a mobile core network (MCN). When integrating itself into the network, a BWM server may be placed between a MCN and an femto access point. In order for WTRUs to communicate with the MCN through the femto access point and a BWM server, a BWM server may need deep packet inspection capabilities.
