    Abstract: A method for transitioning a video call is provided. The method can include a wireless communication device participating in a video call with a remote communication device via a first video call session established over a connection between the wireless communication device and a first cellular network. The video call can include a packet switched video stream carried over a first bearer and an audio stream carried over a second bearer. The method can further include the wireless communication device determining a degradation in a connection quality for the first cellular network; transitioning to a legacy cellular network having a circuit switched domain in response to the degradation in connection quality for the first cellular network; establishing a second video call session on the legacy cellular network; and using the second video call session to continue the video call on the legacy cellular network.

    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 multi-mode communication device having a scan optimizer capable of prioritizing scan frequencies for different radio access technologies (RATs) during a network search. The scan frequency prioritization may be based on various network coverage considerations associated with RAT availability, RAT density within a region, geographic location, historic attachment for the multi-mode device, an operation mode of the multi-mode device, etc. The multimode device can utilize its scan optimizer to generate an optimized scan schedule to be employed for a limited duration during a network search to improve its likelihood of success in detecting and/or attaching to a network associated with a prioritized RAT. A default scan schedule having equal scan frequency prioritization can be employed by the multi-mode device at a time when the limited duration of the optimized scan schedule expires and no networks associated with a prioritized RAT have been acquired.
