A user equipment (UE) improves wireless communication when the UE returns or attempts to return to a first radio access technology (RAT) from a second RAT after a circuit switched fall back (CSFB) call failure due to a radio resource control (RRC) connection failure. In one instance, the UE successfully redirects to the second RAT from a first RAT. The UE then determines that the circuit switched fall back call on the second RAT failed. In response to the determination of the failure, the UE waits for a predetermined amount of time for second RAT re-paging or a user re-initiating the circuit switched call. The UE then performs fast return to the first RAT after the predetermined amount of time expires or in response to a user input.
