Exchanging configuration data

摘要

Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for a user equipment (“UE”) to generate, for transmission to a remote entity executing on a remote computing device in communication with the UE over an air interface of an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (“EUTRAN”), a container that includes UE or base station (e.g., Evolved Node B, or “eNB”) configuration data (e.g., an inactivity time interval), or over-the-top (“OTT”) application configuration data. In embodiments, the UE may transmit the container through a logical tunnel passing through the air interface between a local processing entity executing on the computing device and the remote entity. A base station such as an eNB may be similarly configured to generate and/or transmit, to a UE, a container with UE, base station, or OTT application configuration data, through a logical tunnel passing through the air interface.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising;
memory having instructions; and processing circuitry coupled with the memory to execute the instructions to: generate, for transmission to a remote entity executing on a remote computing device in communication with the apparatus over an air interface of an evolved universal terrestrial access network (“EUTRAN”), a container that includes user equipment (“UE”) or evolved Node B (“eNB”) configuration data, or over-the-top (“OTT”) application configuration data; and cause transmission of the container through a logical tunnel between a local processing entity executing on the apparatus and the remote entity; wherein:
the logical tunnel passes through, and resides on a data plane of, the air interface, and a public data network (“PDN”) connection separate from other PDN connections associated with a UE is established for the logical tunnel; andthe container includes: type indication to indicate a type of information encapsulated in the container and further includes an indication of a platform of the UE, a hardware capability of the UE, or an application executed by the UE; an inactivity time interval associated with the UE and is addressed to an application function executing on another remote computing device; or Quality of Experience (“QoE”) feedback for delivery to an application function.
