Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for indicating, by a multimode access point, an availability of a service on a first RAT to a mobile device via a second RAT. The multimode access point may determine whether a service is available from a base station on the first RAT, e.g., a VoLTE service from a LTE base station. The multimode access point may send an indication to the mobile device of the available services. The mobile device may configure a voice call session based on the available services and initiate the voice call session accordingly.
Claims18
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, by a multimode access point, that a service is available for a mobile device and that a first of a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) is active for a backhaul connection to provide the service;
- and
- providing, to the mobile device via a second radio access technology (RAT), an indication that the service is available and that the first of the plurality of RATs is active for the backhaul connection to provide the service.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a service manager configured to determine, by a multimode access point, that a service is available for a mobile device and that a first of a plurality of radio access technology (RATs) is active for a backhaul connection to provide the service;
- and
- a transmitter configured to provide, to the mobile device via a second radio access technology (RAT), an indication that the service is available and that the first of the plurality of RATs is active for the backhaul connection to provide the service.
