Assisted state transition of a user equipment (UE) for delay sensitive applications within a wireless communications system
First Claim
1. A method of selectively transitioning a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, comprising:
- receiving, at an application server, a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and
selectively sending, by said application server, by said application server, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of the originating UE in order to facilitate a transition of the originating UE to a dedicated-channel state.

Abstract
In an embodiment, an application server receives a call message, from an originating user equipment (UE), that is configured to request initiation of a communication session, to be arbitrated by the application server, between the originating UE and at least one target UE. The application server selectively sends, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of a given UE associated with the communication session in order to facilitate a transition of the given UE to a dedicated-channel state. For example, the application server can selectively send the dummy data based on a size of the call message and/or based on a type of the communication session.

23. An application server configured to selectively transition a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, comprising:
-
means for receiving a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and means for selectively sending, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of the originating UE in order to facilitate a transition of the originating UE to a dedicated-channel state.

24. An application server configured to selectively transition a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, comprising:
-
logic configured to receive a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and logic configured to selectively send, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of the originating UE in order to facilitate a transition of the originating UE to a dedicated-channel state.

25. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by an application server configured to selectively transition a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, cause the application server to perform operations, the instructions comprising:
-
program code to receive a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and program code to selectively send, by said application server, by said application server, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of the originating UE in order to facilitate a transition of the originating UE to a dedicated-channel state.

26. A method of selectively transitioning a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, comprising:
-
receiving, at an application server, a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and sending, in response to the call message, an announce message and dummy data to a serving access network for transmission to the at least one target UE, wherein the announce message is configured to announce the communication session to the at least one target UE, and wherein the dummy data is configured to trigger a transition of the at least one target UE to a dedicated-channel state to support transmission of the announce message by the serving access network to the at least one target UE in the dedicated-channel state.
