TECHNIQUES FOR ENABLING QUALITY OF SERVICE (QoS) ON WLAN FOR TRAFFIC RELATED TO A BEARER ON CELLULAR NETWORKS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- receiving, at a first device, a connection message from a base station;
identifying, at the first device, a first set of bearer parameters from the connection message;
determining, at the first device, whether a bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the bearer type parameter indicating that a radio bearer is associated with a wide wireless area network (WWAN) or both the WWAN and a local wireless area network (WLAN); and
routing, at the first device and based at least in part on the determination that the bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the radio bearer based at least in part on the bearer type parameter.

Abstract
Techniques are described for managing QoS parameters of a bearer for which at least a portion of bearer data is served over a WLAN radio access technology. According to these techniques, a first device may identify a first set of one or more QoS parameters for serving a bearer over a wireless wide area network (WWAN). The first device may also determine a second set of one or more QoS parameters for serving the bearer over the WLAN based on an association between the first set of QoS parameters and the second set of one or more QoS parameters.

13. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
means for receiving, at the apparatus, a connection message from a base station; means for identifying, at the apparatus, a first set of bearer parameters from the connection message; means for determining, at the apparatus, whether a bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the bearer type parameter indicating that a radio bearer is associated with a wide wireless area network (WWAN) or both the WWAN and a local wireless area network (WLAN); and means for routing, at the apparatus and based at least in part on the determination that the bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the radio bearer based at least in part on the bearer type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to; receive, at the apparatus, a connection message from a base station; identify, at the apparatus, a first set of bearer parameters from the connection message; determine, at the apparatus, whether a bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the bearer type parameter indicating that a radio bearer is associated with a wide wireless area network (WWAN) or both the WWAN and a local wireless area network (WLAN); and route, at the apparatus and based at least in part on the determination that the bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the radio bearer based at least in part on the bearer type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:
-
receive, at a first device, a connection message from a base station; identify, at the first device, a first set of bearer parameters from the connection message; determine, at the first device, whether a bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the bearer type parameter indicating that a radio bearer is associated with a wide wireless area network (WWAN) or both the WWAN and a local wireless area network (WLAN); and route, at the first device and based at least in part on the determination that the bearer type parameter is included in the first set of bearer parameters, the radio bearer based at least in part on the bearer type parameter. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)
