Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for performing handover of a mobile station (MS) between a base station (BS) and an access point (AP) are described. In one embodiment, the MS may receive one or more threshold values for reporting measurements to the BS. The MS may convert the threshold values to device-specific threshold values. The MS may determine one or more network quality values associated with the AP. The MS may compare the network quality values to the device-specific threshold values. In response to the network quality values exceeding the device-specific threshold values, the MS may convert the network quality values to calibrated network quality values. The MS may provide the calibrated network quality values. The MS may perform handover from the BS to the AP based on providing the calibrated network quality values to the BS.

Abstract: A method for assisting a wireless communication device to return to a first network from a second network subsequent to termination of a voice call for which a Circuit Switched Fallback procedure was performed to transition from the first network to the second network for servicing of the voice call is provided. The method can include preventing transmission of a data flow for a data service after termination of the voice call. The method can further include searching for the first network while transmission of the data flow is prevented. If the first network is found, the method can additionally include reverting to the first network and servicing the data service on the first network. If the first network is not found, the method can also include remaining on the second network and servicing the data service on the second network.

Abstract: A wireless communication system is presented for robust mobility management in a HetNet communication system. A source cell can prepare a macro cell and a target small cell as handover candidates during handover decision making and/or preparation. The mobile device is informed about the prepared macro cell and target small cell using radio resource control (RRC) messaging. After receiving a handover command or detecting radio frequency (RF) loss, the mobile device can try to connect with the target small cell. If the mobile device is unable to connect to the target small cell, the UE can fall back and connect to the macro cell.
