Abstract
In some implementations, a method includes receiving a connection request from a user application. A service request is sent to a radio resource control (RRC) module. An indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring is received from the RRC module. A retry of the user application connection request is prevented until expiration of an access-class-barring timer of the RRC module that resulted in the access class barring.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- generating, by a mobile device, a service request, in response to a connection request from a user application;
- receiving, by the mobile device, an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring;
- and
- in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:
- determining an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the mobile device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;
- aligning a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module;
- and
- preventing a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.
A mobile device, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to:
- generate a service request in response to a connection request from a user application;
- receive an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring;
- and
- in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:
- determine an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the mobile device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;
- align a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module;
- and
- prevent a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:
- generating, by the computing device, a service request, in response to a connection request from a user application;
- receiving, by the computing device, an indication of failure of or a rejection to the service request due to access class barring;
- and
- in response to the indication of failure or the rejection:
- determining an access-class-barring timer of a radio resource control (RRC) module of the computing device, wherein the access-class-barring timer results in the access class barring;
- aligning a retry timer of the user application to the access-class-barring timer of the RRC module;
- and
- preventing a retry of the connection request until expiration of the retry timer.
