Abstract:
A method and a system to improve circuit switched fall back (CSFB) performance specified in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) standard are provided. The system includes a user equipment (UE) to collect a neighbor frequency list from the network along with the redirection frequency transmitted by the long term evolution (LTE) network in response to extended service request (ESR) initiated by the UE. The UE selects the best frequency on which the UE can camp for CS call by applying additional offset criteria over the existing S-criteria during selection of serving frequency that effectively increases CSFB call success rate. The method enables the UE to override timer T300 and parameter N300 in the radio resource control (RRC) connection establishment process during a CSFB call procedure and effectively utilize the ESR time to attempt maximum possible RRC connection requests.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing service recovery at a user equipment (UE) of a mobile communication network. The UE establishes a call in a first public land mobile network (PLMN). A handover zone of the first PLMN and a second PLMN is entered. The second PLMN is in a forbidden PLMN list of the UE. The UE receives a dedicated message with an indication of the second PLMN. The second PLMN is removed from the forbidden PLMN list. The UE performs registration with the second PLMN so that services of the second PLMN are available to the UE.
