Abstract: A method for shortening a circuit switch fallback (CSFB) performing time includes determining a plurality of weighting values each associated with one of a plurality of frequencies to be measured during a CSFB procedure, determining a frequency measurement sequence for scheduling the frequencies to be measured in sequence according to the determined weighting values, and measuring a signal quality on the frequencies according to the frequency measurement sequence.

Abstract: A communications apparatus includes an RF signal processing device, a baseband signal processing device and a processor. The processor controls operations of the RF signal processing device and the baseband signal processing device, camps on a first cell of a first RAT, collects cell selection/reselection parameters of one or more frequencies of the first RAT in an autonomous fast return (AFR) list, switches from the first RAT to the second RAT to camp on a second cell of the second RAT, establishes a connection with a peer communications apparatus via the second cell, receives a connection release message or a channel release message from the second cell to release the connection, and switches from the second RAT to the first RAT by performing a cell selection procedure or a redirection procedure according to the AFR list to camp on a third cell of the first RAT.
