Abstract
A type of circuit switched fallback (CSFB) is selected based on the target access point for the CSFB. For example, redirection-based CSFB may be selected for some types of target access points, while handover-based CSFB is selected for other types of target access points. In some aspects, an entity may use one or more access point identifiers associated with the target access point to select which type of CSFB to use.
Claims24
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive an identifier for an access point from an access terminal;
- and
- a processing system configured to select, based on the received identifier, a type of circuit switched fallback procedure to use for circuit switched fallback of the access terminal to the access point.
A method of communication, comprising:
- receiving an identifier for an access point from an access terminal;
- and
- selecting, based on the received identifier, a type of circuit switched fallback procedure to use for circuit switched fallback of the access terminal to the access point.
An apparatus for communication, comprising:
- means for receiving an identifier for an access point from an access terminal;
- and
- means for selecting, based on the received identifier, a type of circuit switched fallback procedure to use for circuit switched fallback of the access terminal to the access point.
A computer-program product, comprising:
- computer-readable medium comprising code for causing a computer to:
- receive an identifier for an access point from an access terminal;
- and
- select, based on the received identifier, a type of circuit switched fallback procedure to use for circuit switched fallback of the access terminal to the access point.
