Abstract
Techniques for call type selection based on failure probability are described and may be implemented via a wireless device to adapt to a variety of different wireless scenarios. Generally, the described techniques provide a wireless device with the ability to implement a wireless call event via different call types, e.g., different radio access technologies (RATs). For instance, when a first call type frequently experiences failure at a particular location, a second call type is utilized to initiate calls at the location, such as based on call records for historic call events.
Claims20
A wireless device comprising:
- a wireless module including components to initiate and receive wireless calls;
- and
- a connectivity module implemented to:
- determine that a call is to be initiated at a physical location of the wireless device;
- access a location record for the physical location, the location record identifying a probability that a call failure will occur using a first call type at the physical location;
- identify, in response to the probability exceeding a threshold probability, a second successful call type available at the physical location;
- and
- cause the wireless module to initiate the call via the second call type.
A method comprising:
- receiving an indication that a call event on a wireless device initiated via a first call type experiences a failure event and that a remedial process is executed to restore the call event via a second call type;
- determining a location of the wireless device;
- generating a location record that identifies the location and indicates that the second call type is to be used for initiating a subsequent call event at the location;
- and
- causing the location record to be available for enabling the subsequent call to be initiated utilizing the location record.
