Abstract
Systems and methods of signaling RDS and PS Data Off in a UE and to a network are described. A UE includes TE and a MT. The TE determines whether RDS and PSDO are to be used for a PDN connection, and generates an AT command for communication to the MT to indicate an RDS status and a PSDO status of the PDN connection. The MT indicates to the network, based on the AT command, the RDS status and PSDO status of the PDN connection at the ME. The AT command enables the TE and allows the ME to communicate support for, and the status of RDS and PSDO, to the MT and enables usage, testing and status reporting of the features.
Claims21
An apparatus of a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry configured with logical entities that include a Terminal Equipment (TE), a Mobile Terminal (MT) and a Terminal Adaptor (TA), the TE arranged to communicate with the MT through the TA, the processing circuitry arranged to configure the logical entities to:
- provide Reliable Data Service (RDS) between the UE and a network endpoint of a packet data network (PDN) connection when configured to support RDS, and
- limit uplink transmission of Internet Protocol (IP) packets to services related to 3GPP Packet Services Data Off (PSDO) Exempt Services when configured to support PSDO for the PDN connection and PSDO is activated,
- wherein the TE is arranged to generate at least one Attention (AT) command for communication to the MT through the TA to indicate a RDS status and a PSDO status of the PDN connection at the UE;
- and
- wherein the MT is arranged to communicate with the network endpoint and to:
- indicate to the network endpoint, based on the at least one AT command, the RDS status and the PSDO status;
- and
- a memory configured to store the PSDO status.
A computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors that configure logical entities including a mobile equipment (ME), the ME configured to, when the instructions are executed:
- transmit, from Terminal Equipment (TE) of the UE to a Mobile Terminal (MT) of the UE, at least one Attention (AT) command to indicate a Reliable Data Service (RDS) status and a Packet Services Data Off (PSDO) status of a packet data network (PDN) connection at the ME;
- and
- indicate to a network entity of a network, based on the at least one AT command, the RDS status and PSDO status of the PDN connection in one of an Attach Request, a ME-requested PDN connection request, or a ME-requested bearer modification request.
19-23. (canceled)
An apparatus of a network entity in a network, the apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry arranged to:
- decode a request from a user equipment (UE), the request comprising one of an Attach Request, a UE-requested PDN connection request, or a UE-requested bearer modification request, the request indicating a Reliable Data Service (RDS) status and a Packet Services Data Off (PSDO) status of a packet data network (PDN) connection for the UE;
- and
- after establishment of the PDN connection based on the RDS and PSDO status, communicate data with the UE on the PDN connection that indicates the RDS and PSDO status at the network.
