Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, registering with a first access network to generate a first registration, detecting a triggering event, and registering with a second access network to generate a second registration while maintaining the first registration with the first access network. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- registering with a first access network to generate a first registration;
- detecting a triggering event;
- and
- responsive to the detecting of the triggering event, registering with a second access network to generate a second registration while maintaining the first registration with the first access network.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- determining to transfer a communication session of the mobile device from a first access network to a second access network, wherein the mobile device is registered with the first and second access networks;
- and
- initiating a message from a dedicated user agent corresponding to one of the first or second access networks, thereby causing the transfer of a communication session from the first access network to the second access network, wherein the dedicated user agent is resident on the mobile device.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a system including a processor, a first registration message initiated from a mobile device;
- registering, by the system, the mobile device with a first access network to generate a first registration in response to the first registration message;
- receiving, by the system, a second registration message initiated from the mobile device;
- and
- registering, by the system, the mobile device with a second access network to generate a second registration in response to the second registration message, wherein the first registration of the mobile device with the first access network is maintained by the system.
