Devices, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for signaling a broadcast of a message are described. According to some embodiments, a first message to be broadcast in a cell is determined. The first message includes barring indications. A second message is generated. The second message is a System Information Type 3 message and includes an indication that the first message is to be broadcast. The second message is broadcast. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Signaling whether a network has broadcast system information

A method for receiving acknowledgements from plural wireless communication devices is described. A first acknowledgement message addressed to the plural wireless communication devices is transmitted. The first acknowledgement message indicates for each wireless communication device a period within which that wireless communication device should transmit a device acknowledgement message. A device acknowledgement message is received from each of the plural wireless communication devices. The device acknowledgement message is transmitted within the period indicated for that wireless communication device to transmit its device acknowledgement message. Other aspects, embodiments, and features, are also claimed and discussed.

Multiple wireless communication device acknowledgements

Devices, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for allowing a rejected wireless communication device access to a communication channel are described. According to some embodiments, a message that includes a wait state override indicator is generated. The message is transmitted to the wireless communication device. A communication channel is established with the wireless communication device based on the wait state override indicator. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Allowing a rejected wireless communication device access to a communication channel

Devices, methods, and systems for implementing semi non-DRx mode for a wireless communication device are described herein. According to some embodiments, if it is determined that semi non-DRx mode is supported by a network, a wireless communication device can enter semi non-DRx mode. The paging block on a multiframe corresponding to the wireless communication device's paging index is monitored. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described above.

Semi non-DRx mode for wireless communication

Devices, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods for restricting access to a communication channel are described. According to some embodiments, a message with access restriction data addressed to at least one wireless communication device is generated. The access restriction data indicates that a group of wireless communication devices is associated with a priority value and that the group of wireless communication devices has restricted access to a communication channel. The message is transmitted to the at least one wireless communication device. Other aspects, embodiments and features are also claimed and described.
