Systems and methods for optimizing a voice-over-wifi call for a voice-over-new radio device

A device, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• initiate a voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) call with an access point;
• receive first cell information associated with a first base station providing New Radio (NR) access and information indicating whether voice-over-NR (VoNR) is supported by the first base station;
• receive second cell information associated with a second base station providing Long Term Evolution (LTE) access;
• temporarily store information associated with the VoWiFi call, the first cell information, the second cell information, and the information indicating whether VoNR is supported by the first base station;
• receive an indication of congestion associated with the access point;
• determine to hand over the VoWiFi call based on the indication of congestion with the access point;
• and
• selectively:
• hand over the VoWiFi call to the second base station based on the information indicating that VoNR is not supported by the first base station;
• or
• hand over the VoWiFi call to the first base station based on the information indicating that VoNR is supported by the first base station.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
• initiate a voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoWiFi) call with an access point;
• receive first cell information associated with a first base station providing New Radio (NR) access and information indicating whether voice-over-NR (VONR) is supported by the first base station;
• receive second cell information associated with a second base station providing Long Term Evolution (LTE) access;
• temporarily store information associated with the VoWiFi call, the first cell information, the second cell information, and the information indicating whether VoNR is supported by the first base station;
• monitor for threshold conditions defined for handing over the VoWiFi call;
• determine to hand over the VoWiFi call based on monitoring for the threshold conditions;
• and
• selectively:
• hand over the VoWiFi call to the second base station based on the information indicating that VoNR is not supported by the first base station;
• or
• hand over the VoWiFi call to the first base station based on the information indicating that VoNR is supported by the first base station.
