  • Patent number: 11057341
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing fall back from long term evolution voice calls (VoLTE) to legacy systems. The system can include one or more lookup tables including ranges of internet protocol (IP) addresses for a plurality of user equipment (UE). The lookup tables can be stored on one or more network entities, such as on a proxy call session control function (PCSCF). In the event that a policy charging rules function (PCRF) is unable to establish a Gx session with the relevant packet gateway (PGW), the PCSCF can provide the name and/or the IP address for the appropriate PGW to the PCRF. The PCRF can then send a session request AVP to the IP address to cause the PGW to initiate Gx binding. The system enables VoLTE calls to be established despite problems with the PCRF and reduces fallback to legacy systems.
