Silent redial for video telephony calls
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may use the techniques described herein to reattempt a video telephony (VT) call after receiving a rejection message indicating that a prior attempt at the VT call failed. In some cases, the UE may have a first configuration indicating that the UE is to redial VT calls exclusively using packet-switched (PS) networks. In other cases, the UE may have a second configuration indicating that the UE is to switch to a circuit-switched (CS) network after one or more failed attempts at the VT call using PS networks. In any case, once the UE receives a rejection message in response to a prior attempt at a VT call, the UE may reattempt the VT call based on a rejection cause in the rejection message and whether the UE has the first configuration or the second configuration.
1 . A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
attempting a mobile originated video telephony call using a first radio access technology over a first packet-switched network;

reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call using a second radio access technology over a second packet-switched network.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call is based at least in part on the rejection cause indicating a permanent rejection of the mobile originated video telephony call using the first radio access technology.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the permanent rejection corresponds to a hard failure of the mobile originated video telephony call via the first radio access technology.
5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the rejection message indicates a network service rejection or an internet protocol multimedia subsystem permanent registration failure.
6 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the rejection message is due to a time to complete registration exceeding a threshold amount of time or the UE camping on a cell that lacks support for voice over internet protocol multimedia subsystem.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call comprises:
reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call using the first radio access technology over the first packet-switched network based at least in part on detecting that the UE previously attempted the mobile originated video telephony call using a second radio access technology.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call is based at least in part on the rejection cause indicating a temporary rejection of the mobile originated video telephony call using the first radio access technology.
9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the temporary rejection corresponds to a soft failure of the mobile originated video telephony call via the first radio access technology.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the rejection cause indicates a network service rejection, an internet protocol multimedia subsystem permanent registration failure, or an internet protocol multimedia subsystem temporary registration failure.
11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call comprises reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call until a configurable timer expires.
12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
ending the mobile originated video telephony call.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein ending the mobile originated video telephony call is based at least in part on the rejection cause indicating a permanent rejection of the mobile originated video telephony call using the first radio access technology.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the permanent rejection corresponds to a hard failure of the mobile originated video telephony call via the first radio access technology.
15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein ending the mobile originated video telephony call is further based at least in part on receiving another permanent rejection of the mobile originated video telephony call using a second radio access technology.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the rejection cause indicates a network service rejection or a unified access control failure.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the rejection cause indicates that the mobile originated video telephony call failed due to network congestion, a service area restriction, or an invalid universal subscriber identity module.
18 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a second public land mobile network through which to reattempt the mobile originated video telephony call based at least in part on failing to perform the mobile originated video telephony call through a first public land mobile network.
19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein the rejection cause indicates an access barring related failure or a unified access control failure.
20 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to redial the mobile originated video telephony call exclusively using packet-switched networks.
21 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
converting the mobile originated video telephony call to the voice call over the circuit-switched network after one or more failed attempts at the mobile originated video telephony call using one or more of the packet-switched networks.
22 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled with the at least one processor; and
instructions stored in the at least one memory and executable by the at least one processor to cause the UE to:
attempt a mobile originated video telephony call using a first radio access technology over a first packet-switched network;
receive a rejection message indicating that the mobile originated video telephony call failed; and
reattempt the mobile originated video telephony call based at least in part on a rejection cause included in the rejection message and whether the UE is configured to redial the mobile originated video telephony call exclusively using packet-switched networks, or to switch to a circuit-switched network and convert the mobile originated video telephony call to a voice call after one or more failed attempts at the mobile originated video telephony call using one or more of the packet-switched networks.
23 . The UE of claim 22 , wherein the instructions to reattempt the mobile originated video telephony call are executable by the at least one processor to cause the UE to:
reattempt the mobile originated video telephony call using a second radio access technology over a second packet-switched network.
24 . The UE of claim 23 , wherein reattempting the mobile originated video telephony call is based at least in part on the rejection cause indicating a permanent rejection of the mobile originated video telephony call using the first radio access technology.
25 . The UE of claim 22 , wherein the instructions to reattempt the mobile originated video telephony call are executable by the at least one processor to cause the UE to:
