System and method to trigger a mobile device in different domains based on unsuccessful initialization or handover
View Patent ↗A system to promote communication in a second domain responsive to a failure in a first domain. The system includes a first domain for communicating, and a second domain for communicating. The system includes a rejection message and a mobile device. The rejection message transmitted upon a failure of a call in the first domain. The mobile device configured to communicate in both the first domain and the second domain. The mobile device configured to attempt the call in the second domain responsive to receiving the rejection message in the first domain.
1. A system comprising:
a mobile device configured to attempt a call session in a packet-switched domain; and
a SIP rejection message transmitted to the mobile device upon a failure to connect the call session in the packet-switched domain;
wherein the SIP rejection message is indicative of a rejection and a reason for the rejection of the call session in the packet-switched domain; and
wherein the mobile device is configured to determine whether to reattempt the call session in a circuit-switched domain based at least in part on the reason for the rejection, and if so determined, the mobile device is operable to reattempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the call session is one of a session initiation and a session handover.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a domain component in the mobile device interprets the SIP rejection message and determines whether to make the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device automatically reattempts the call session in the circuit-switched domain upon receipt of the SIP rejection message.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device, upon receipt of the SIP rejection message, offers a user of the mobile device an option of reattempting the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein when the failure occurs during a handover, the SIP rejection message is sent to the mobile device when the call session is anchored at a voice call continuity (VCC) server.
7. A dual mode mobile device operable to communicate in a packet-switched domain and a circuit-switched domain, the dual mode mobile device comprising:
an antenna capable of receiving a SIP rejection message upon a failure to initiate a call session in the packet-switched domain;
a storage device to store instructions; and
a processor, such that responsive to execution of the instructions and responsive to receiving and interpreting the SIP rejection message, the processor is configured to determine whether to reattempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain,
wherein the SIP rejection message is indicative of a reason for a rejection of the call in the packet-switched domain, and
wherein the determination whether to reattempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain is based at least in part on the reason for the rejection, and if the processor so determines, the mobile device is operable to reattempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
8. The device of claim 7 , wherein the call session is one of a session initiation and a session handover.
9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the SIP rejection message includes a suggestion to attempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further programmed to promote providing a user of the mobile device an option of reattempting the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
11. The device of claim 7 , wherein the SIP rejection message follows a messaging protocol for at least one of:
a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) message;
a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN) message; and
a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message.
12. A method in a mobile device, the method comprising:
attempting a call session in a packet-switched domain;
receiving, at the mobile device, a SIP rejection message associated with failure to connect the call session in the packet-switched domain, the SIP rejection message indicative of a rejection and a reason for the rejection of the call session in the packet-switched domain;
responsive to receiving and interpreting the SIP rejection message, determining whether to reattempt the call session in a circuit-switched domain based at least in part on the reason for the rejection; and
if so determined, attempting the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the call session is one of a session initiation and a session handover.
14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising at least one of:
automatically attempting the call session in the circuit-switched domain upon receipt of the SIP rejection message by the mobile device, the mobile device being operable to receive and interpret the SIP rejection message; and
offering a user of the mobile device an option of making the call session in the circuit-switched domain upon receipt of the SIP rejection message by the mobile device.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein, when the rejection did not occur because of a technology-related issue, the SIP rejection message does not promote attempting the call session in the circuit-switched domain.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein determining whether to reattempt the call session in the circuit-switched domain is based on whether the reason for the rejection of the call session in the packet-switched domain is associated with a technology-related issue.
17. A method in a mobile device, the method comprising:
attempting a call session in a packet switched domain by sending a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Invite message;
receiving, at the mobile device, a SIP rejection message associated with failure to connect the call session in the packet switched domain, the rejection message indicative of a rejection and a reason for the rejection of the call session in the packet switched domain;
responsive to receiving the SIP rejection message, interpreting the SIP rejection message to determine whether to reattempt the call session in a circuit switched domain based at least in part upon the reason for the rejection; and
if so determined, reattempting the call session in the circuit switched domain.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the call session is one of a session initiation and a session handover.
19. The method of claim 17 , further comprising at least one of:
automatically reattempting the call session in the circuit switched domain upon receiving the SIP rejection message; and
offering a user of the mobile device an option of making the call session in the circuit switched domain upon receiving the SIP rejection message.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein, when the rejection did not occur because of a technology-related issue, the mobile device determines not to reattempt the call session in the circuit switched domain.
21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the SIP rejection message is a (SIP) “Not Acceptable” message.
