    Abstract: Signal load due to ping-pong of a wireless device between a wireless local area network (WLAN) access point (AP) and a cellular base station is reduced. The wireless device operates in a geographic region with signal coverage from more than one radio access technology (RAT) type of cellular serving cell as well as potentially coverage from the AP. An IP address used for incoming calls and the RAT serving the wireless device are part of a context. In some instances, when the wireless device changes context from the AP to a cellular base station and back to the AP (“ping-pong”), the context changes and a new IP address may be obtained via network signaling. Ping-pong is reduced by determining a quality estimate of cellular signals that relies on cell measurements from a mix of cellular base stations, where the mix of cellular base stations supports different cellular RATs.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage communication sessions to handover between a direct connection at a secondary wireless device and a relayed connection to the secondary wireless device via a primary wireless device. A connection manager of a secondary wireless device can trigger transfer of a communication session based on measurements of performance metrics for the communication session. Upon detection of performance degradation in a local connection or a backhaul connection or both, the connection manager of the secondary wireless device can determine proximity of and/or capabilities for connections of the primary wireless device and instigate transfer of the communication session between different connection types, such as between a direct connection and a relayed connection. The transfer of the communication session can occur without user intervention or in response to input from the user without interrupting or reestablishing the communication session.

    Abstract translation: 管理通信会话到在辅助无线设备的直接连接与经由主无线设备到辅助无线设备的中继连接之间切换的方法和设备。 辅助无线设备的连接管理器可以基于通信会话的性能度量的测量来触发通信会话的传送。 在检测到本地连接或回程连接或两者之间的性能下降时,辅助无线设备的连接管理器可以确定主无线设备的连接的接近度和/或能力,并且促使不同连接类型之间的通信会话的传送 ,例如在直接连接和中继连接之间。 通信会话的传送可以在没有用户干预的情况下进行,或者响应于用户的输入而不中断或重新建立通信会话。
