First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device comprising a processor, a selection of a voice prioritized option;
establishing, by the mobile device over a voice-only radio access bearer, a voice session with another device;
collecting, by the mobile device during at least a portion of the voice session, uplink transmit power statistics associated with maintaining the voice session;
calculating, by the mobile device, a mean uplink transmit power from the uplink transmit power statistics;
calculating, by the mobile device, a standard deviation from the uplink transmit power statistics;
calculating, by the mobile device, a value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation;
receiving, by the mobile device, a data request;
determining, by the mobile device, if the value calculated for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation at least meets a threshold value of uplink transmit power that is insufficient for the mobile device to support a multiple radio access bearer, wherein the multiple radio access bearer simultaneously supports both a voice component of the voice session and a data component of the data request; and
in response to determining that the value does not at least meet the threshold value of uplink transmit power,allowing, by the mobile device, establishment of the multiple radio access bearer,transferring, by the mobile device, the voice session to the multiple radio access bearer, andtearing down, by the mobile device, the voice-only radio access bearer.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described herein for allowing a user or a service provider to selectively prioritize voice communications over data communications. By selectively prioritizing voice communications over data communications, the number of dropped calls in the mobile telecommunications network can be significantly reduced.

1. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile device comprising a processor, a selection of a voice prioritized option; establishing, by the mobile device over a voice-only radio access bearer, a voice session with another device; collecting, by the mobile device during at least a portion of the voice session, uplink transmit power statistics associated with maintaining the voice session; calculating, by the mobile device, a mean uplink transmit power from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a standard deviation from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation; receiving, by the mobile device, a data request; determining, by the mobile device, if the value calculated for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation at least meets a threshold value of uplink transmit power that is insufficient for the mobile device to support a multiple radio access bearer, wherein the multiple radio access bearer simultaneously supports both a voice component of the voice session and a data component of the data request; and in response to determining that the value does not at least meet the threshold value of uplink transmit power, allowing, by the mobile device, establishment of the multiple radio access bearer, transferring, by the mobile device, the voice session to the multiple radio access bearer, and tearing down, by the mobile device, the voice-only radio access bearer. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)

11. A method comprising:
-
presenting, by a mobile device comprising a processor, on a display of the mobile device, a network settings graphical user interface comprising an input portion and a settings control options portion, the settings control options portion comprising a control settings remotely option; receiving, by the mobile device, a selection of the control settings remotely option; based upon receiving the selection of the control settings remotely option, receiving, by the mobile device from a server, a threshold value for a voice priority setting, wherein establishment of a multiple radio access bearer to simultaneously support both a voice component of a voice session and a data component of a data request is denied when the voice session is established and a value associated with maintaining the voice session at least meets the threshold value for the voice priority setting; storing, by the mobile device, the threshold value for the voice priority setting in the input portion of the network settings graphical user interface; establishing, by the mobile device over a voice-only radio access bearer, the voice session with another device; collecting, by the mobile device during at least a portion of the voice session, uplink transmit power statistics for the mobile device associated with maintaining the voice session; calculating, by the mobile device, a mean uplink transmit power from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a standard deviation from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation; receiving, by the mobile device, the data request; determining, by the mobile device, if the value calculated for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation at least meets the threshold value for the voice priority setting; and in response to determining that the value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation does not at least meet the threshold value for the voice priority setting, allowing, by the mobile device, establishment of the multiple radio access bearer, transferring, by the mobile device, the voice session to the multiple radio access bearer, and tearing down, by the mobile device, the voice-only radio access bearer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
presenting, by a mobile device comprising a processor, on a display of the mobile device, a voice prioritized option in context of a first selectable graphical user interface element, wherein the voice prioritized option denies establishment of a multiple radio access bearer to simultaneously support both a voice component of a voice session and a data component of a data request when the voice session is established and a value associated with maintaining the voice session at least meets a threshold value; presenting, by the mobile device on the display of the mobile device, a voice only option in context of a second selectable graphical user interface element, wherein the voice only option denies the data request when the voice session is established, whether or not the value associated with maintaining the voice session at least meets the threshold value; presenting, by the mobile device on the display of the mobile device, a normal option in context of a third selectable graphical user interface element, wherein the normal option allows establishment of the multiple radio access bearer to simultaneously support both the voice component of the voice session and the data component of the data request when the voice session is established, whether or not the value associated with maintaining the voice session at least meets the threshold value; receiving, by the mobile device, a selection of the voice prioritized option via the first selectable graphical user interface element; establishing, by the mobile device over a voice-only radio access bearer, the voice session with another device; collecting, by the mobile device during at least a portion of the voice session, uplink transmit power statistics for the mobile device associated with maintaining the voice session; calculating, by the mobile device, a mean uplink transmit power from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a standard deviation from the uplink transmit power statistics; calculating, by the mobile device, a value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation; receiving, by the mobile device, the data request; determining, by the mobile device, if the value calculated for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation at least meets the threshold value; and in response to determining that the value for the mean uplink transmit power plus the standard deviation does not at least meet the threshold value, allowing, by the mobile device, establishment of the multiple radio access bearer, transferring, by the mobile device, the voice session to the multiple radio access bearer, and tearing down, by the mobile device, the voice-only radio access bearer. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
