Abstract
A method for providing improved wireless connectivity for wireless devices operating in a heterogeneous multi-RAT environment may include receiving, at a network device, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations where the received information is received in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure, and causing provision of the received information to an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF). A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a network device, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations, the received information being received in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure;
- and
- causing provision of the received information to an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF).
An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to perform at least:
- receiving, at a network device, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations, the received information being received in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure;
- and
- causing provision of the received information to an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF).
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions for:
- receiving, at a network device, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations, the received information being received in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure;
- and
- causing provision of the received information to an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF).
A method comprising:
- receiving, from a network device in an Internet protocol multimedia services subsystem (IMS) layer, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations, the network device having received the information in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure;
- and
- causing generation of a coverage map based on the information.
An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to perform at least:
- receiving, from a network device in an Internet protocol multimedia services subsystem (IMS) layer, information indicative of one or more radio access technologies detected by a user equipment (UE) in corresponding locations, the network device having received the information in connection with a session initiation protocol (SIP) procedure;
- and
- causing generation of a coverage map based on the information.
