Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for assisting a wireless communication device to return to a first network from a second network is provided. The method can include the wireless communication device participating in a CSFB procedure to transition from the first network to the second network for servicing of a voice call; receiving a connection release from the second network after termination of the voice call; initiating a reselection procedure to reselect to the first network; determining presence of packet switched data ready for transmission from the wireless communication device before completion of the reselection procedure; holding the packet switched data at the wireless communication device at least until expiry of a reselection timer initiated during the reselection procedure; reselecting to the first network after expiry of the reselection timer; and initiating transmission of the packet switched data on the first network after completing reselection to the first network.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for assisting a wireless communication device to return to an LTE (Long Term Evolution) network from a legacy network, the method comprising the wireless communication device: participating in a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) procedure to transition the wireless communication device from the LTE network to a legacy network for servicing of a voice call, wherein the legacy network has a circuit switched domain and the voice call is handled by the c…
