Managing Connection Retries Due To Access Class Barring

1 . A method, comprising:

generating, by a mobile device, a service request, in response to a connection request from a user application;

receiving, by the mobile device, an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring; and

in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:

determining an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the mobile device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;

aligning a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module; and

preventing a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein aligning the retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module comprises:

determining a timeout value for the access-class-barring timer; and

setting the expiration of the retry timer to the timeout value.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request comprises the timeout value for the access-class-barring timer.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein preventing the retry of the service request comprises:

in response to expiration of the retry timer, automatically triggering a retry of the connection request.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user application comprises at least one of a data application, a short messaging service (SMS) application, or a voice application.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a type of mobile originating (MO) traffic for the user application generating the connection request; and

indicating the type of MO traffic to the RRC module, wherein the access class barring is based on the type of MO traffic.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the access-class-barring timer comprises at least one of T303, T305, or T306.

8 . A mobile device, comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

generate a service request in response to a connection request from a user application;

receive an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring; and

in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:

determine an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the mobile device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;

align a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module; and

prevent a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.

9 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein aligning the retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module comprises:

determining a timeout value for the access-class-barring timer; and

setting the expiration of the retry timer to the timeout value.

10 . The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein the indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request comprises the timeout value for the access-class-barring timer.

11 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein preventing the retry of the service request comprises:

in response to expiration of the retry timer, automatically triggering a retry of the connection request.

12 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the user application comprises at least one of a data application, a short messaging service (SMS) application, or a voice application.

13 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

determine a type of mobile originating (MO) traffic for the user application generating the connection request; and

indicate the type of MO traffic to the RRC module, wherein the access class barring is based on the type of MO traffic.

14 . The mobile device of claim 8 , wherein the access-class-barring timer comprises at least one of T303, T305, or T306.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:

generating, by the computing device, a service request, in response to a connection request from a user application;

receiving, by the computing device, an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring; and

in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:

determining an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the computing device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;

aligning a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module; and

preventing a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein aligning the retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module comprises:

determining a timeout value for the access-class-barring timer; and

setting the expiration of the retry timer to the timeout value.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request comprises the timeout value for the access-class-barring timer.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein preventing the retry of the service request comprises:

in response to expiration of the retry timer, automatically triggering a retry of the connection request.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the user application comprises at least one of a data application, a short messaging service (SMS) application, or a voice application.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining a type of mobile originating (MO) traffic for the user application generating the connection request; and

indicating the type of MO traffic to the RRC module, wherein the access class barring is based on the type of MO traffic.
