A wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes a processor configured to determine a switch between an independent mode and a concurrency mode. The wireless communication device also includes a transmitter configured to send a communication capability signal to a base station in response to the switch. The communication capability signal indicates a resource communication capability adjustment for a first service.

Capability management for concurrency mode control

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communications. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a plurality of session initiation protocol (SIP) addresses of a plurality of communication devices. The UE and the plurality of communication devices may be associated with a unique domain. The UE may register the plurality of communication devices for an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) service. The plurality of communication devices may be registered using a single IMS registration of the UE.

Techniques for providing IMS services to multiple machine-type communication devices using a user equipment as a proxy

An apparatus operable in a communication system is described. The apparatus includes means for determining a set of wireless communication device functionalities. The apparatus determines the set of wireless communication device functionalities using a functionality table based on a network identifier. The apparatus also includes means for enabling the set of wireless communication device functionalities.

Systems and methods for dynamic enablement of wireless communication device functionalities

Described aspects provide for improving the mobility of wireless communication devices between one network domain and another network domain, specifically, but not limited to, between a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and a cellular network and the like. Present aspects provide for services to be moved seamlessly and in a reliable manner between the cellular and WLAN domains in order to minimize service disruption for the end user and provide the requisite Quality of Service (QoS) for the different applications. The aspects herein presented provide for various mechanisms that serve to improve the decision points related to when and what technology each service is expected to be associated with and provides better techniques to move the wireless communication device between cellular and WLAN domains when in-traffic and when idle.

Methods and apparatus for mobility support between network domains

Methods and apparatus for mobility support and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) registration in a multimode network environment

Apparatus and methods are described for establishing a connection to a wireless subscriber network over a wireless LAN. A secure tunnel is established between a PDIF and a mobile station. Both voice and data calls are exchange via the tunnel. Voice calls are forwarded to a SIP GW while data calls are routed to the Internet.

Fixed mobile convergence (FMC) with PDIF and SIP gateway

Apparatus and methods are described for establishing a connection to a subscriber access network, such as a 3G network, over and untrusted network, such as a wireless LAN. A stream ID is assigned to a mobile device upon initialization of the device, and the stream ID remains active until the device powers down, loses WLAN coverage, or de-registers with the network. Both voice and data calls may be routed over the tunnel using the assigned stream ID.

Fixed mobile convergence (FMC) architectures

A method for broadcasting a short message service (SMS) payload is disclosed. The SMS payload is sent to a home network. The SMS payload is encapsulated in a session initiation protocol (SIP) message. The SIP message is sent to a target user equipment (UE). A SIP response is received from the target UE. The SMS payload is extracted from the SIP message. The SMS payload is broadcasted to a plurality of mobile stations.
