Abstract:
The method and apparatus for CSFB are provided. The method for processing a Circuit Switched Fallback (CSFB) procedure in a user equipment (UE) includes the steps of receiving the switching command when the CSFB procedure is triggered to establish a CS call, and searching for a 2G/3G cell, when the UE fails to fall back to a target cell indicated by the switching command. In addition, the method for CSFB further includes the step of initiating a timer when the UE fails to fall back to the target cell indicated by the switching command, and searching for the 2G/3G cell until the timer is expired.
Abstract:
A method for efficient wireless communications includes transmitting a tracking area update (TAU) request message by a communications apparatus to a peer device to initiate a TAU procedure; receiving a paging message by the communications apparatus from the peer device after transmitting the TAU request message; and in response to receipt of the paging message, retransmitting the TAU request message by the communications apparatus to the peer device to reinitiate the TAU procedure immediately or transmitting a request message by the communications apparatus to the peer device immediately, without waiting a predetermined time period.
