Abstract:
A first wireless communication network stores a buffer of data that is concurrently being sent to a wireless device via a first active connection with a second wireless communication network. A first indicator is received by the wireless device. The first indicator is associated with an availability of an access node of the first wireless communication network to serve the wireless device. Based on the first indicator and based on a second indicator of a signal strength associated with the access node, the wireless device ends the first active connection. The first wireless communication network provisions a second active connection to the wireless device. The first wireless communication network provisions the second active connection in response to a request by the wireless device. Data not already received by the wireless device is provided, via the second active connection, to the wireless device.
