Control of data call origination based on prior origination attempts
First Claim
1. A mobile apparatus comprising:
- a memory unit operative to store a history of prior data call origination attempts; and
a controller operative to;
receive a request to originate a data call with a wireless communication network;
control a barring of an origination of the data call based on the history of prior data call origination attempts including a prior data call origination attempt that was unsuccessful;
determine a time period that varies based on a number of failed origination attempts since a last successful origination attempt; and
bar origination of the data call for the time period after the most recent origination attempt, if the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful.

Abstract
A wireless device receives a request to originate a data call, e.g., from the user or a higher layer application. If origination control is not to be applied, then the wireless device originates the data call immediately. Otherwise, the origination of the data call is controlled based on prior data call origination attempts that are applicable to the data call. For example, the wireless device may originate the data call immediately if (1) the most recent origination attempt was successful or (2) the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful but a predetermined time period has elapsed since this unsuccessful origination attempt. If the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful and the predetermined time period has not elapsed, then the wireless device may (1) wait until this predetermined time period elapses and then originate the data call or (2) reject the data call.

17. A method, at a mobile apparatus, of originating data calls, comprising:
-
receiving a request to originate a data call with a wireless communication network; controlling a barring of an origination of the data call based on a history of prior data call origination attempts including a prior data call origination attempt that was unsuccessful, wherein the controlling of the barring of the origination of the data call comprises; determining a time period that varies based on a number of failed origination attempts since a last successful origination attempt; and barring origination of the data call for the time period after the most recent origination attempt, if the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

30. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:
-
a computer program product, comprising; a first set of codes for causing a computer to receive a request to originate a data call with a wireless communication network; a second set of codes for causing the computer to control a barring of an origination of the data call based on a history of prior data call origination attempts including a prior data call origination attempt that was unsuccessful; a third set of codes for determining a time period that varies based on a number of failed origination attempts since a last successful origination attempt; and a fourth set of codes for barring origination of the data call for the time period after the most recent origination attempt, if the most recent origination attempt was unsuccessful. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
