Techniques and apparatus for early termination of decoding of communication channels for power saving in narrowband devices are provided. One technique includes monitoring for one or more first repetitions of at least one communication channel from a base station. The device determines, based on the monitoring, whether to refrain from monitoring for one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel. The device enters a low power mode if the determination is to refrain from monitoring for the one or more second repetitions of the at least one communication channel.

Power saving in narrowband devices by early termination of decoding of communication channels

An apparatus and method for facilitating inter-technology handoff from a home wireless network comprising comparing a parameter of a home signal to a threshold, wherein the home signal is from the home wireless network where the data session of a persistent always ON application is established; throttling the persistent always ON application; and attempting to acquire a first alternative signal acceptable to the persistent always ON application from a first alternative wireless network using a single RF chain.

Method and apparatus for throttling persistent always on applications

In a method for managing quality of service (QoS) resources during handoff across communication systems having different grades of QoS awareness, an access terminal (AT) determines that handoff has occurred from a QoS unaware system to a QoS aware system. The AT also determines whether there are any allocated, unrequested QoS resources. If one or more allocated, unrequested QoS resources are identified, the AT requests that the QoS aware system release the one or more allocated, unrequested QoS resources. The AT also determines whether there are any requested, unallocated QoS resources. If one or more requested, unallocated QoS resources are identified, the AT requests that the QoS aware system allocate the one or more requested, unallocated QoS resources to the application.

A method of signal transmission according to one embodiment includes requesting a packet data serving node to filter a specified traffic flow from among a stream of packets. The method also includes requesting a radio access network to provide an indicated quality-of-service (QoS) treatment for the flow over a wireless air interface. The method further includes rescinding the request to filter or the request to provide a QoS treatment in response to a failure of the other request.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for quality of service processing

A wireless device establishes a data session with a data call, and a data connection is set up for the data session. The wireless device may receive or originate a voice call while the data session is dormant, exchange traffic data for the voice call, and perform handoff between base station controllers (BSCs), if needed, during the voice call. Upon termination of the voice call, the wireless device determines whether it has moved to a new packet zone during the voice call. This may be the case if the wireless device was handed off between BSCs located in different packet zones. If the wireless device has moved to a new packet zone, then the data connection is updated, e.g., by sending to the current serving BSC an origination message indicating no data to send. The network entities perform appropriate actions to update the data connection for the wireless device.
