Data-capable network prioritization with reject code handling
First Claim
1. A method for use in selecting a wireless communication network for communications with a mobile station, the method comprising:
- causing a request for data connectivity to be transmitted through a first wireless network;
reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network at least one time if a reject code comprising a non-critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network; and
attempting to select a second wireless network for communications without reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network the at least one time if a reject code comprising a critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network.

Abstract
Reject code handling is utilized for a more time-efficient selection of data-capable networks. One illustrative method for use in selecting a wireless communication network for communications involves the steps of causing a request for data connectivity to be transmitted through a first wireless network; reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a non-critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network; and attempting to select a second wireless network for communications without reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network one or more times if a reject code comprising a critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network.

29. A communication system, comprising;
-
a first wireless communication network;
a second wireless communication network;
a mobile station operative to select one of the first wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network for communications;
the mobile station including;
one or more processors;
memory coupled to the one or more processors;
a wireless transceiver coupled to the one or more processors;
the one or more processors being operative to;
cause a request for data connectivity to be transmitted through the first wireless network with use of the wireless transceiver;
cause the first wireless network to be selected for communications based on identifying that the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network is accepted;
reattempt the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network if a reject code comprising a non-critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network; and
attempt to select the second wireless network for communications without reattempting the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network if a reject code comprising a critical error is received in response to the request for data connectivity through the first wireless network. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
