    Abstract: Method and apparatus to trigger a handover of a mobile device from a serving cell to a neighbor cell based on signal quality are disclosed. The mobile device measures signal strength and signal quality for the serving cell. When the signal strength exceeds a network-defined threshold and the signal quality falls below a mobile device defined threshold, the mobile device measures at least one neighbor cell. When a neighbor cell exceeds the network-defined threshold for signal strength and also meets the mobile device defined signal quality threshold, the mobile device sends a measurement report to the serving cell to trigger the handover. The measurement report includes modified values that indicate the serving cell does not meet network-defined threshold values and that the neighbor cell outperforms the serving cell.

    Abstract: A method performed by stations to transfer call sessions between different access networks. The methods include transmitting, by a first station to a second station, an invite to join a voice call on a first radio access network (RAN), receiving, by the second station, the invite, generating, by the second station, a response to the invite, determining, by the second station, that the response cannot be successfully transmitted to the first station, associating, by the second station, with a second RAN, generating, by the second station, a message indicating the second station has associated with the second RAN, transmitting, by the second station, the message to the first station, retransmitting, by the first station, the invite to join the voice call, receiving, by the second station, the invite on the second RAN and setting up the voice call between the first station and the second station.

    Abstract: This application presents techniques for an LTE user equipment (UE) to use an extended service request (ESR) extension for LTE TDD to FDD redirection for mobile originated and mobile terminated VoLTE calls. These techniques include the UE informing the network that it supports the particular features of the ESR extensions presented. Once the UE attaches to the network, a radio resource control (RRC) message can be sent to indicate that the UE supports the new ESR extension, after which the UE can use the new ESR extension to facilitate an LTE TDD to FDD redirection for the VoLTE call.

    Abstract: A device and method performs a handover. The method includes establishing a connection to a cellular network. The method includes determining whether a WiFi network is available for connection. The method includes determining performance data of the WiFi network based upon network metrics. The method includes determining a quality of service (QoS) parameter associated with a currently executed application, the QoS parameter being indicative of whether a handover from the cellular network to the WiFi network is permitted. The method includes performing the handover from the cellular network to the WiFi network when the performance data of the WiFi network satisfies a set of predetermined criteria for the network metrics and the QoS parameter indicates the handover is permitted.
