  • Patent number: 9002316
    Abstract: A method of cell reselection for a mobile communication system comprises determining whether a mobile device in the mobile communication system is capable of initiating an emergency call through the second cell when a network of the mobile communication system restricts the mobile device from accessing a first cell, and the mobile device performs a first cell reselection procedure to switch the first cell to the second cell, so as to generate a first determination result, and determining whether the mobile device camps on the second cell according to the first determination result.

  • Publication number: 20150072685
    Abstract: A wireless communication system includes a user equipment and multiple types of networks. The user equipment stores the cell information of a current cell in a database when the user equipment is camping on the current cell or after the user equipment performs cell reselection to a new cell. The user equipment determines whether inter-RAT cell reselection should be performed according to the system information received from the current cell and the cell information of previous cells stored in its database. Even if the current cell fails to broadcast the accurate and updated information of all neighboring cells, the UE may further check the database periodically or randomly for its previous camping history. Therefore, inter-RAT cell reselection may be properly performed between networks using different RATs in order to reduce call drop rate and improve user experience.

  • Publication number: 20150065131
    Abstract: A communication system includes a user equipment and a network having a first cellular station and a second cellular station. When an attempt to establish an RRC connection between the first cellular station and the user equipment fails, the user equipment is configured to perform another RRC connection establishment procedure on the second cellular station. Therefore, when certain cellular stations within the network are busy, the present invention can improve the success rate of location registration procedures by requesting RRC connection with other available and less busy cellular stations within the network.

  • Publication number: 20140295825
    Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a network diversity based error reporting method and a user equipment using the same method. The user equipment using the proposed method in the event of a network error would establish a first connection with a first network, establish a second connection with a second network which is a different type of network from the first network, establish a first failure report corresponding to the first connection in response to failing to connect with the first network, transmit through the second connection the first failure report to the second network in response to establishing the first failure report, establish a second failure report corresponding to the second connection in response to failing to connect with the second network, and transmit through the first connection the second failure report to the first network in response to establishing the second failure report.
