Intelligent long term evolution circuit switched fallback management
A device may connect a data session for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to a long term evolution network and during the data session receive a voice call request for the WTRU. In addition the device may prioritize the voice call request compared to the data session and direct the voice call to a network device based on the prioritization.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a request to connect a voice call to a first wireless transmit/receive unit during a connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit;
comparing, by the processor, a priority of the request to connect the voice call and a priority of the connected data session; and
providing, by the processor, instructions to interrupt the connected data session based on an analysis of the compared priority of the request to connect the voice call to the priority of the connected data session,
wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a location of a second wireless transmit/receive unit that initiated the request to connect the voice call during the connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing instruction to connect the voice call to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a message from the first wireless transmit/receive unit on whether to accept the voice call request.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on whether the voice call is identified as an emergency call.
5. A network device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a request to connect a voice call to a first wireless transmit/receive unit during a connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit;
comparing a priority of the voice call request and a priority of the connected data session and
providing instructions to interrupt the connected data session based on an analysis of the compared priority of the request to connect the voice call to the priority of the connected data session,
wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a location of a second wireless transmit/receive unit that initiated the request to connect the voice call during the connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
6. The network device of claim 5 , wherein the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations further comprising:
providing instruction to connect the voice call to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
7. The network device of claim 5 , wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a message from the first wireless transmit/receive unit on whether to accept the request to connect the voice call.
8. The network device of claim 5 , wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on whether the voice call is identified as an emergency call.
9. A system comprising:
a first wireless transmit/receive unit; and
a network device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
receiving a request to connect a voice call to the first wireless transmit/receive unit during a connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit;
comparing a priority of the request to connect the voice call and a priority of the connected data session; and
providing instructions to interrupt the connected data session based on an analysis of the compared priority of the request to connect the voice call to the priority of the connected data session,
wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a location of a second wireless transmit/receive unit that initiated the request to connect the voice call during the connected data session to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations further comprising:
providing instruction to connect the voice call to the first wireless transmit/receive unit.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the network device comprises a network Home Location Register, a Home Subscriber Server, or a Mobility Management Entity.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the priority of the request to connect the voice call is based on a message from the first wireless transmit/receive unit on whether to accept the request to connect the voice call.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the location of the second wireless transmit/receive unit is determined by a global positioning system.
