Abstract

A UE including one or more processors configured to, responsive to determining that the UE has a voice service solution, set a “selective camping capability bit” and transmit the bit to a network.

Claims (16)

1 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more processors configured to, responsive to determining that the UE has a voice service solution, set a “selective camping capability bit” and transmit the bit to a network.

2 . The UE of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to avoid setting the bit if the UE powers up in a GERAN or UTRAN.

3 . The UE of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to set the bit to ‘true’ when both the UE moves to an E-UTRAN after powering up in a GERAN or UTRAN and the UE performed a voice domain selection process in the E-UTRAN.

4 . The UE of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to, if the UE is attaching for GPRS services for the first time after a power on or when the UE has not yet determined that it has voice service in an E-UTRAN, avoid indicating support of selective camping capability by setting the bit to ‘false.’

5 . The UE of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to cause the UE to perform a routing area update and determine whether the UE has a voice solution, and wherein if a condition is met, the processor is configured to cause the UE to indicate support of selective camping capability by setting the bit to ‘true.’

6 . The UE of claim 5 wherein the condition comprises the routing area updating procedure being initiated by any one of:

an S1 mode to lu mode or S1 mode to A/Gb mode inter-system change in connected mode or IDLE mode;

a normal routing area update; or

a periodic routing area update.

7 . A method implemented in a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

responsive to determining that the UE has a voice service solution, setting, by a processor, a “selective camping capability bit;” and

transmitting, using a network connectivity device connected to the processor, the bit to a network.

8 . A computer readable medium storing a program which, when executed, performs the processor-implemented steps of:

responsive to determining that a user equipment (UE) has a voice service solution, setting a “selective camping capability bit;” and

transmitting, by the UE using a network connectivity device connected to the processor, the bit to a network.
