Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses to use multiple receivers of a wireless communication device for fast return to a first network from a second network after termination of a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) voice call is disclosed. A first receiver of the wireless communication device is used to process the CSFB voice call on the second network, while a second receiver of the wireless communication device is used to determine a strongest suitable cell available on the first network, while the voice call is active. A strongest suitable cell is instantly available to the wireless communication device after the CSFB voice call ends. In some embodiments, the first network is an LTE network, and the second network is a legacy network.
