Definitions

• FIG. 2A illustrates an example configuration of a radio access network (RAN) and a packet-switched portion of a core network for a lx EV-DO network in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
• RAN radio access network
• the RAN 120 can include multiple RNCs and subnets, and a single RNC is shown in FIG. 2B for the sake of convenience.
• the RNC 215B is responsible for signaling, establishing and tearing down bearer channels (i.e., data channels) between a Serving GRPS Support Node (SGSN) 220B in the core network 140 and UEs served by the RAN 120. If link layer encryption is enabled, the RNC 215B also encrypts the content before forwarding it to the RAN 120 for transmission over an air interface.
• the function of the RNC 215B is well-known in the art and will not be discussed further for the sake of brevity.
• LTE Long Term Evolution
• RLC Radio Link Control
• T transport channels
• P physical channels
• access is controlled by the ac- BarringForSpecialAC parameter, which indicates whether access barring is enforced or not enforced.
• LTE core networks e.g., FIG. 2D
• HRPD core networks that interface with eHRPD RANs and HSGWs
• QoS network-initiated Quality of Service
• a basic high-level UE configuration for internal hardware components is shown as platform 302 in FIG. 3.
• the platform 302 can receive and execute software applications, data and/or commands transmitted from the RAN 120 that may ultimately come from the core network 140, the Internet 175 and/or other remote servers and networks (e.g., application server 170, web URLs, etc.).
• the platform 302 can also independently execute locally stored applications without RAN interaction.
• the platform 302 can include a transceiver 306 operably coupled to an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) 308, or other processor, microprocessor, logic circuit, or other data processing device.
• ASIC application specific integrated circuit
• the communication device 400 includes logic configured to receive and/or transmit information 405.
• the communication device 400 corresponds to a wireless communications device (e.g., UE 300A or 300B, one of BSs 200A through 21 OA, one of Node Bs 200B through 210B, one of eNodeBs 200D through 210D, etc.)
• the logic configured to receive and/or transmit information 405 can include a wireless communications interface (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, 2G, CDMA, W-CDMA, 3G, 4G, LTE, etc.) such as a wireless transceiver and associated hardware (e.g., an RF antenna, a MODEM, a modulator and/or demodulator, etc.).
• a wireless communications interface e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, 2G, CDMA, W-CDMA, 3G, 4G, LTE, etc.
• a wireless transceiver and associated hardware e.g., an RF antenna, a MODEM, a modulator
• the logic configured to present information 420 can include the display 31 OA of UE 300A or the touchscreen display 305B of UE 300B. In a further example, the logic configured to present information 420 can be omitted for certain communication devices, such as network communication devices that do not have a local user (e.g., network switches or routers, remote servers, etc.).
• the logic configured to present information 420 can also include software that, when executed, permits the associated hardware of the logic configured to present information 420 to perform its presentation function(s). However, the logic configured to present information 420 does not correspond to software alone, and the logic configured to present information 420 relies at least in part upon hardware to achieve its functionality.
• any software used to facilitate the functionality of the configured logics of 405 through 425 can be stored in the non-transitory memory associated with the logic configured to store information 415, such that the configured logics of 405 through 425 each performs their functionality (i.e., in this case, software execution) based in part upon the operation of software stored by the logic configured to store information 415.
• hardware that is directly associated with one of the configured logics can be borrowed or used by other configured logics from time to time.
• logic configured to as used throughout this disclosure is intended to invoke an embodiment that is at least partially implemented with hardware, and is not intended to map to software-only implementations that are independent of hardware.
• the configured logic or “logic configured to” in the various blocks are not limited to specific logic gates or elements, but generally refer to the ability to perform the functionality described herein (either via hardware or a combination of hardware and software).
• the configured logics or “logic configured to” as illustrated in the various blocks are not necessarily implemented as logic gates or logic elements despite sharing the word “logic.” Other interactions or cooperation between the logic in the various blocks will become clear to one of ordinary skill in the art from a review of the embodiments described below in more detail.
• FIG. 7 illustrates an exemplary LTE radio connection and attach procedure for public safety users according to at least one aspect of the disclosure.
• high priority public safety UEs are provisioned with the highest priority access class to allow them network access in all network operational scenarios.
• low priority UEs such as commercial UEs, are provisioned with a low priority access class and will be barred access based on the access class setting.
• access requests for low priority UEs are inhibited.
• low priority UEs decode the Barring Factor Parameter in the SIB2 message and are inhibited from transmitting access requests.
• high priority public safety UEs are not blocked by low priority UEs.
• the application server 170 suppresses non-priority call announcements.
• the unicast network 140b in response to receiving the notification from the application server 170, the unicast network 140b also suppresses non-priority call announcements, independently of the application server 170 suppressing non-priority call announcements at 835 A.
• dual priority UEsl ...n 800B switch to their highest available priority access class.
• low priority UEs or UEs that are not members of the high priority group, such as UEx 800C perform access barring in response to receiving the SIB2 message.
• the client device receives at least one high priority access barring class and at least one low priority access barring class.
• the high and low priority access barring classes may be provisioned by a server, such as application server 170, the RAN, such as RAN 120, the network, such as core network 140, the network administrator, the manufacturer of the client device, or the like.
• the client device switches to the low priority access barring class.
• the client device may switch to the low priority access barring class based on a time of day, a network event, and/or user action.
• any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium.
• the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave
• the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of medium.
• Disk and disc includes compact disc (CD), laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk and blu-ray disc where disks usually reproduce data magnetically, while discs reproduce data optically with lasers. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
