Resuming packet services in a mobile network
First Claim
1. A method for inter-RAT cell reselection performed by user equipment (UE) that does not support dual transfer mode, the method comprising:
- switching from packet switched (PS) services with a first radio access network to circuit switched (CS) communicating with a second radio access network, the first radio access network being a E-UTRAN network, the second radio access network being a non-E-UTRAN network;
transmitting signaling to suspend PS services while the UE has a signaling connection with a non-E-UTRAN cell;
setting, with a processor of the user equipment, a register of the user equipment to initiate packet switched services with the first radio access network; and
transmitting, with the user equipment, a request to a core network node of the first radio access network to resume PS services with the first radio access network after returning to a E-UTRAN cell based, at least in part, on the register, the request initiating tracking area update (TAU) procedure when idle mode signaling (ISR) is active,wherein when resumption of PS services is unsuccessful, deactivating ISR after returning to the E-UTRAN cell and transmitting another request to initiate a TAU procedure after resetting the register to indicate a RAT that was established before inter-RAT cell reselection.

Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to resuming packet services in a mobile network. A device, method, and/or system may include switching, with user equipment, from communicating with a first radio access network to communicating with a second radio access network, setting, with a processor of the user equipment, a register of the user equipment to initiate packet services with the first radio access network, and transmitting, with the user equipment, a request to a core network node of the first radio access network to resume communications with the first radio access network based, at least in part, on the register.

11. A user equipment that does not support dual transfer mode, the UE comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to communicate with a first radio access network and a second radio access network, the first radio access network being a E-UTRAN network, the second radio access network being a non-E-UTRAN network; a register; and a processor, coupled to the transceiver and the register, configured to; switch the transceiver from packet switched (PS) services with the first radio access network to circuit switched (CS) communicating with the second radio access network; set the register to initiate packet PS services with the first radio access network; cause the transceiver to transmit signaling to suspend PS services while the UE has a signaling connection with a non-E-UTRAN cell; and cause the transceiver to transmit a request to a core network node of the first radio access network to resume PS services with the first radio access network based, at least in part, on the register, the request initiating a tracking area update (TAU) procedure when idle mode signaling (ISR) is active, wherein when resumption of PS services is unsuccessful, the UE is configured to deactivate ISR after returning to the E-UTRAN cell and transmitting another request to initiate a TAU procedure after resetting the register to indicate a RAT that was established before inter-RAT cell reselection. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
