    Abstract: Performing a circuit-switched fallback (CSFB) call with improved reliability. A request to establish a CSFB call may be received by a UE that is currently in a pool overlap area. The network resource controller, or the base station, transmits information to the UE which indicates the pools in which neighboring cells are operating. The UE uses this information to select a circuit-switched cell on which to operate for the CSFB operation, wherein the selected CS cell is in the same pool area as the current pool area. This prevents the UE from inadvertently camping on a CS cell in a different pool area, which could cause call failure on some networks. The information provided by the base station may comprise a pool area id, or may comprise mapping relation information that is useable by the UE to determine the current pool area.

    Abstract: Wireless devices, networks and methods may operate to have a wireless device cause a base station to trigger voice call continuity handovers responsive to the quality of the cellular radio link in addition to the base station triggering such handovers based on location or mobility. Furthermore, wireless communication devices may also perform monitoring of multiple buffers operating within the wireless communication device and associated with different respective communication layers, in addition to monitoring the quality of the cellular radio link, to perform intelligent dropping/discarding and/or scheduling of packets at the wireless communications device. Any one or more of these features may improve the ability of the wireless communications device to achieve stated Voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) performance benchmarks in the context of the realities of current VoLTE networks.

    Abstract: The techniques described herein include superior home-on-home roaming procedures by enabling user equipment (UE) to modify a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) search periodicity based on a likelihood of detecting an HPLMN cell (e.g., base station). A UE may be configured to determine a current geographic location of the UE, access a database that includes information about the HPLMN for the location (e.g., prior HPLMN searches), determine an appropriate HPLMN search periodicity based on the information, and perform HPLMN searches based on the appropriate HPLMN search periodicity. In some implementations, the UE may determine the HPLMN search periodicity based on a number (N) of HPLMN cells, and/or times an HPLMN cell sample, associated with the geographic area, has been detected previously.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus for configuring synthetic electronic subscriber identity module (eSIM) profiles for wireless devices based on user credentials. A synthetic eSIM profile is generated at a wireless device based on transformation of user credentials that include a user identity and user cryptographic information. The user identity can include an identifier for a user account, and the user cryptographic information can include a password for the user account. The wireless devices can use the synthetic eSIM profile to obtain and load one or more fully functional eSIM profiles to an embedded universal integrated circuit card (eUICC) to without requiring a bootstrap eSIM profile or non-cellular wireless access.
