US 8,588,753 B2 · Apparatus and method in a wireless device for reestablishing a call

Abstract

An apparatus and a method in a wireless device provide for reestablishing a dropped call, wherein a wireless device determines a wireless device callback priority, wherein the wireless device callback priority is relative to a second communication device callback priority associated with a second communication device, wherein the wireless device and the second communication device are established in a communication session. A dropped call between the wireless device and the second communication device is detected. In response to detecting the dropped call, and the wireless device callback priority being higher than the second communication device callback priority, the wireless device calls back the second communication device. If, during the calling back, a match between a callback identifier and an incoming caller identifier of an incoming call is detected, the calling back is terminated, and the incoming call is answered.

Dependent claims

A wireless device comprising:

a processor;
a wireless communication subsystem coupled to the processor for establishing a communication session between the wireless device and a second communication device;
a dropped call detection module coupled to the processor for detecting a dropped communication session;
a callback priority module coupled to the processor for determining a wireless device callback priority, wherein the wireless device callback priority is one of a higher callback priority and a lower callback priority, and wherein the wireless device callback priority is relative to a second communication device callback priority associated with the second communication device;
and
a callback module coupled to the processor for initiating a callback to the second communication device in response to the dropped call detection module detecting a dropped communication session and the callback priority module determining that the wireless device has a higher callback priority than the second communication device.
