A novel method for service based network resource allocation is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving from a UE at a base station over a Primary Cell (PCell), a request message to perform an action with respect to a Secondary Cell (SCell), the request message including service information. The method then determines a specific action to be performed with respect to the SCell based on the service information. Finally, the method performs the specific action with respect to the SCell at the base station and transmits a connection reconfiguration message to the UE to direct the UE to perform the specific action based on a service to be supported.

Systems and methods for service based network resource allocation

An improved cellular network communications scheme enables synchronization of end-to-end session parameters between a radio access network and user equipment. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising receiving, at an access point, a first notification from user equipment (UE), the first notification including data representing a capability of the UE; receiving, at the access point, a second notification from the UE, the second notification including data representing a negotiated session parameter; detecting, by the access point, a change in quality of a network link associated with the UE; and disabling, by the access point, a transmission of a recommendation to the UE based on the negotiated session parameter.

Synchronized device-network media negotiation and notification

An originating user equipment may generate a request to utilize a service that links over-the-top content with a voice call, and may provide the request to an entitlement server of a core network associated with the originating user equipment. The originating user equipment may receive, from the entitlement server, information verifying entitlement of the originating user equipment for the service. The information may include a tag identifying the service. The originating user equipment may provide an invite message, with the tag, to a terminating user equipment and may establish the voice call with the terminating user equipment based on providing the invite message and via an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network and the core network. The originating user equipment may establish, concurrently with the voice call, a connection for the over-the-top content with the terminating user equipment via a data network and the core network.
