Abstract
A User Equipment (UE) registers with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. The UE registers with an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over the LTE network. The UE registers with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network. The UE receives a status request from the LTE network responsive to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite for the UE received at the IMS. The UE transfers a status response to the LTE network that indicates the WIFI network responsive to the status request. The UE receives the SIP invite from the IMS over the WIFI network. The UE exchanges user data for the media session over the WIFI network.
Claims20
A method of operating User Equipment (UE) to establish a media session using an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), the method comprising:
- the UE registering with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and registering with the IMS over the LTE network;
- the UE registering with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network;
- the UE receiving a status request from the LTE network responsive to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite for the UE received at the IMS;
- the UE transferring a status response to the LTE network that indicates the WIFI network responsive to the status request;
- the UE receiving the SIP invite from the IMS over the WIFI network;
- and
- the UE exchanging user data for the media session over the WIFI network.
A User Equipment (UE) to establish a media session, the UE comprising:
- Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuitry configured to communicate with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network;
- processing circuitry configured to register with the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, register with an Internet Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) over the LTE network, and register with a Wireless Fidelity (WIF) network;
- the processing circuitry configured to receive a status request from the LTE network responsive to a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) invite for the UE received at the IMS and transfer a status response to the LTE network that indicates the WIFI network responsive to the status request;
- and
- the processing circuitry configured to receive the SIP invite from the IMS over the WIFI network and exchange user data for the media session over the WIFI network.
