Abstract
Various examples pertaining to application of non-access stratum (NAS)-level congestion control timer values at intersystem change in mobile communications are described. A user equipment (UE) receives an indication of a NAS-level congestion control from a first type of wireless network. The UE starts a timer responsive to the receiving of the indication of the NAS-level congestion control. The UE then performs an intersystem change from the first type of wireless network to a second type of wireless network different from the first type by utilizing the timer.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), an indication of a non-access stratum (NAS)-level congestion control from a first type of wireless network;
- starting, by the processor, a timer responsive to the receiving of the indication of the NAS-level congestion control;
- and
- performing, by the processor, an intersystem change from the first type of wireless network to a second type of wireless network different from the first type by utilizing the timer.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver capable of wirelessly communicating with different types of wireless networks of different radio access technologies (RATs);
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver, the processor capable of:
- receiving, via the transceiver, an indication of a non-access stratum (NAS)-level congestion control from a first type of wireless network of the different types of wireless networks;
- starting a timer responsive to the receiving of the indication of the NAS-level congestion control;
- and
- performing an intersystem change from the first type of wireless network to a second type of wireless network different from the first type by utilizing the timer.
