  • Publication number: 20110319072
    Abstract: A method and a multi-mode mobile communication device operating said method are provided. The method comprises a multi-mode mobile communication device selecting a first data connection carried over a first radio access technology (RAT) based on a first requested QoS, and the multi-mode mobile communication device selecting a second data connection over a second RAT based on a second requested QoS. The multi-mode communication device comprises a first transceiver adapted to be connected to a server using the first RAT, a second transceiver adapted to be connected to the server using the second RAT, and a processor for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 8078178
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to restore always on connectivity to user equipment, the method having the steps of: monitoring whether the user equipment has transitioned to a network that supports concurrent voice and data; performing, upon the monitoring step detecting the transition, a routing area update; checking whether the user equipment was in a voice call at the time of the transition, and if yes, sending a data packet to the network.

  • Patent number: 7430431
    Abstract: Operation commences with the cellular network infrastructure setting up a forward link and a reverse link with a cellular mobile station. The cellular network infrastructure transmits signals to the cellular mobile station on the forward link and receives signals from the cellular mobile station on the reverse link. The cellular network infrastructure monitors the quality of the reverse link. When the reverse link quality level meets a reverse link lost criteria, the cellular network infrastructure enters reverse link recovery mode of operation in which the transmit power of the forward link is increased in an attempt to recover the reverse link. During the reverse link recovery mode of operation, the cellular network infrastructure may determine that the reverse link quality meets a reverse link recovered criteria.
