A method for location based policy for UE operating in different areas of a shared home LTE system includes: responsive to detecting a trigger, determining a first enterprise operating area (EOA) in which the UE is currently located, wherein the first EOA is one of a plurality of EOAs of the LTE system; determining whether the first EOA is a home EOA or a visited EOA; when the first EOA is the home EOA, selecting a first set of policy rules for the UE; when the first EOA is the visited EOA, selecting a second set of policy rules for the UE that provides a lower Quality of Service (QoS) than the first set of policy rules; if a trust relationship exists, selecting a third set of policy rules for the UE while in the visited EOA, which provides a higher QoS than the second set of policy rules.

Location based policy for user equipment operating in different areas of a shared home long term evolution system

Public safety user equipment (PS UE) that establishes a first wireless communication channel over a primary network to at least one multimedia multicast or broadcast service management entity and establishes one or more alternative wireless communication channels over one or more alternative networks (). The public safety user equipment receives at least one multimedia multicast or broadcast service message over the first wireless communication channel (). Then, the PS UE extracts data contained in the multimedia multicast or broadcast service message and storing the data in a local cache (). The PS UE receives a cache request from the one or more user equipment over one or more alternative wireless communication channels () and then the PS UE transmits the stored data to the one or more PS user equipment ().

Method and apparatus for propagating public safety multicast and broadcast services among public safety personnel

Public safety user equipment (PS UE) that establishes a first wireless communication channel over a primary network to at least one multimedia multicast or broadcast service management entity and establishes one or more alternative wireless communication channels over one or more alternative networks (). The public safety user equipment receives at least one multimedia multicast or broadcast service message over the first wireless communication channel (), Then, the PS UE extracts data contained in the multimedia multicast or broadcast service message and storing the data in a local cache (). The PS UE receives a cache request from the one or more user equipment over one or more alternative wireless communication channels () and then the PS UE transmits the stored data to the one or more PS user equipment ().

A method and apparatus for data communication. The method includes determining that a first nested network, is available to a plurality of user terminals, the first terminal providing a data interface to a first primary network. The method further includes determining that traffic on the first primary network can be reduced by moving one or more user terminals of the plurality of user terminals from the first primary network to the nested network. The one or more user terminals are then directed to move to the nested network.

Method and apparatus for data communication

Application service is provided for a subscriber unit (SU), employing a first protocol, in a communication network employing a second protocol. The method includes receiving a CAI OTAR message from the SU. The CAI OTAR message includes at least a key management message (KMM) and a CAI header of the SU. The method then includes determining that the first protocol employed by the SU is different from the second protocol associated with the communication network based on the received CAI OTAR message. The method further includes creating a key management message (KMM) preamble, associated with the second protocol, based on at least one of the CAI header and configuration information of the SU, and creating a data link independent (DLI) OTAR message associated with the second protocol. The DLI OTAR message includes the received KMM. The method finally includes encapsulating the DLI OTAR message with the created KMM preamble, and sending the encapsulated DLI OTAR message to a key management facility (KMF) unit operating at a second protocol.

Method and apparatus for providing application service between a first protocol and a second protocol

A method and apparatus for transmitting a subset voice stream associated with a subset talk group. A voice communication device receives a session identifier from an associated data communication device engaged. The voice communication device transforms the session identifier into a session key identifier, obtains an encryption algorithm implementing a subset talk group filtering feature and a voice encryption key identifier, and combines the session key identifier with the voice encryption key identifier to generate a signaling key identifier. The voice communication device associates the signaling key identifier and an encryption algorithm identifier with the subset voice stream during transmission of the subset voice stream to a receiving voice communication device.
