Abstract
Techniques, apparatuses, and systems can include mechanisms for interworking different wireless technologies. Interworking different wireless technologies can include operating a wireless communication system that includes a first wireless network based on a first wireless technology and a second wireless network based on a second wireless technology. Interworking different wireless technologies can include processing a network based change to an Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) parameter that corresponds to an Access Point Name (APN) and communicating the network based change to a wireless device.
Claims14
A method for wireless communications, comprising:
- operating a wireless communication system that includes a first wireless network based on a first wireless technology and a second wireless network based on a second wireless technology;
- processing a network based change to an Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) parameter that corresponds to an Access Point Name (APN);
- and
- communicating the network based change to a wireless device operating in the first wireless network via a message having a format specific to the second wireless technology;
- wherein the communicating is performed during an ongoing Internet Protocol-Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) session between the APN and the wireless device and wherein the message is for network-initiated changing of the AMBR of the ongoing IP-CAN session.
A wireless communication system comprising:
- a first wireless network to provide wireless service to wireless devices;
- a second wireless network to provide wireless service to wireless devices;
- a gateway, in communication with the first and second wireless networks, configured to process a network based change to an Aggregated Maximum Bit Rate (AMBR) parameter that corresponds to an Access Point Name (APN);
- and
- a base station, in the second wireless network, that is configured to communicate the network based change in a message to a wireless device, the message having a format specific to the first wireless network;
- wherein the base station communicates to the wireless device during an ongoing Internet Protocol-Connectivity Access Network (IP-CAN) session between the APN and the wireless device and wherein the message is for changing the AMBR of the ongoing IP-CAN session.
