Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AVOIDING BSR PROCEDURE WHEN NO LTE NETWORK IS AVAILABLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/032678
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Aspects disclosed herein relate to avoiding a better system reselection (BSR) procedure when no 3GPP (e.g., LTE based) network is available. In one example, a network entity may be equipped to determine that a geographic region (GEO) includes one or more cells that provide 3GPP coverage, and provision multi-mode system selection (MMSS) files to distinguish the GEO than includes one or more cells that support 3GPP coverage from one or more GEOs that do not include 3GPP coverage. Further, a user equipment (UE) may be equipped to detect initiation of a BSR procedure for a multimode UE currently being served by a 3GPP2 based network, and determine whether to scan for a 3GPP based network based on one or more MMSS files.
