PAGING FOR CSFB IN LTE CONNECTED MODE
First Claim
1. A method to respond to paging messages by a mobile wireless device, the method comprising:
- by the mobile wireless device;
receiving a paging message from a first wireless network;
determining that the paging message includes a first information element uniquely identifying the mobile wireless device;
determining that the paging message includes a second information element indicating that the paging message originates from a second wireless network;
determining that the paging message does not include a third information element indicating the paging message is a public warning system message; and
when an internal state of the mobile wireless device indicates the mobile wireless device is connected to the first wireless network, after receiving the paging message and after determining the paging message includes the first and second information elements and does not include the third information element, disconnecting the mobile wireless device from the first wireless network and establishing a connection of the mobile wireless device to the second wireless network.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses and computer readable media are described that analyze and communicate signaling messages between a mobile wireless device and a wireless access network to realize a circuit switched fallback (CSFB) procedure when the mobile wireless device is initially in a radio resource control connected mode with the wireless network. A set of information elements of a paging message is analyzed, and based on contents of the set of information elements and an internal state of the mobile wireless device, connections between the mobile wireless device and first and second wireless access networks are changed to realize the CSFB procedure.

21. A computer program product encoded as computer program code in a non-transitory computer readable medium for responding to paging messages by a mobile wireless device, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer program code for receiving a paging message from a first wireless network; computer program code for determining that the paging message includes a first information element uniquely identifying the mobile wireless device; computer program code for determining that the paging message includes a second information element indicating that the paging message originates from a second wireless network; computer program code for determining that the paging message does not include a third information element indicating that the paging message is a public warning system message; and computer program code for, when an internal state of the mobile wireless device indicates that the mobile wireless device is connected to the first wireless network upon receiving the paging message and after executing the computer program code for determining that the paging message includes the first and second information elements and does not include the third information element, disconnecting the mobile wireless device from the first wireless network and establishing a connection of the mobile wireless device to the second wireless network.
