Abstract
Provided are methods and apparatus that provide stable internet access to secondary devices during large data uploads via local area network and radio access technology by actively monitoring available inter-frequency and inter-public land mobile network serving cells and automatically transitioning the active connection between serving cells based on network quality information, without disrupting the active user connection by utilizing an intermediary server to route and process the network traffic in a secure manner.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for automatically providing a stable Internet connection, the method being performed by User Equipment (UE) comprising at least one processor, the method comprising:
- performing inter-frequency and inter-public land mobile network (PLMN) cell discovery to establish a current active connection between the UE and a PLMN;
- generating information describing candidate alternative connections from cell frequency and quality metrics identified during the PLMN cell discovery, wherein:
- current active connection metrics and past connection quality metrics are used to generate the information describing the candidate alternative connections;
- and
- the information describing the candidate alternative connections comprises information describing a best available PLMN to which to connect;
- transitioning the active connection of the UE from the current active connection to an alternative connection described in the information describing the candidate alternative connections;
- and
- maintaining secondary connected device communications and upload processes uninterrupted between the UE and a secondary user device via local area network (LAN) during the transitioning of the active connection of the UE from the current active connection to the alternative connection.
