Method to control reconfiguration of multiple radio access bearers in a wireless device
First Claim
1. A method for managing radio resources between a mobile wireless device and a wireless network, the method comprising:
- detecting by a network subsystem in the wireless network simultaneous voice and data connections between the mobile wireless device and the wireless network; and
delaying by the network subsystem and not transmitting a signaling message for the data connection until after the voice connection terminates;
wherein the data connection uses a packet switched radio access bearer, and the signaling message is a radio bearer reconfiguration message, wherein the signaling message requires a plurality of data link layer protocol data units for transmission from the radio network subsystem to the mobile wireless device.

Abstract
Methods to control reconfiguration of multiple radio access bearers in a mobile wireless device connected to a wireless network are described. The mobile wireless device is connected to the wireless network through a voice connection and a data connection simultaneously. The data connection is concurrently active with the voice connection. Transmission of one or more signaling messages for the data connection is delayed until the voice connection terminates. Representative signaling messages include messages that reconfigure a radio access bearer supporting the data connection and messages estimated to exceed a pre-determined transmission time interval.

7. A method for managing radio resources between a mobile wireless device and a wireless network, the method comprising:
-
establishing a voice connection between the mobile wireless device and the wireless network; establishing a data connection between the mobile wireless device and the wireless network, the data connection being configured to support a variable data rate transmission based on a dynamic bandwidth allocation; and restricting reconfiguration of the data connection until the voice connection terminates; wherein the reconfiguration of the data connection includes changing a data rate allocated to the data connection. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing non-transitory computer program code executed by a processor for controlling radio resources between a wireless network and a mobile wireless device, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising:
-
non-transitory computer program code for establishing a voice connection between the mobile wireless device and the wireless network; non-transitory computer program code for establishing a data connection between the mobile wireless device and the wireless network, the data connection being concurrently active with the voice connection; non-transitory computer program code for estimating a time interval to transmit successfully a signaling message to the mobile wireless device; and non-transitory computer program code for delaying transmission of the signaling message when the estimated time interval exceeds a pre-determined transmission time interval threshold and the voice and data connections remain concurrently active. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
