Abstract:
A method for managing inter-radio access technology (inter-RAT) capability of a user equipment (UE) includes: receiving system information broadcasted from a public land mobile network (PLMN), wherein the system information is indicative of a disaster condition of the PLMN, and the UE is currently camps on a first RAT of the PLMN; and in response to receiving the system information, performing a PLMN search operation to camp on a second RAT of the PLMN, and performing an inter-RAT management operation to prevent the UE from transiting to the first RAT of the PLMN.
Abstract:
A method for efficient wireless communications includes transmitting a tracking area update (TAU) request message by a communications apparatus to a peer device to initiate a TAU procedure; receiving a paging message by the communications apparatus from the peer device after transmitting the TAU request message; and in response to receipt of the paging message, retransmitting the TAU request message by the communications apparatus to the peer device to reinitiate the TAU procedure immediately or transmitting a request message by the communications apparatus to the peer device immediately, without waiting a predetermined time period.
