Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a communication device that receives a request to update a registration between the communication device and a communication network without causing the communication device to cycle power or reset. The communication device can postpone a process for releasing bearer communications with the communication network responsive to determining that the request to update registration between the communication device and the communication network can be delayed. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- initiating communications with a session border controller of a communication network;
- receiving from the communication network a request to reattach to the communication network;
- and
- postponing a process for releasing bearer communications with the communication network responsive to detecting an active communication session initiated by the wireless communication device by way of the session border controller and determining that the request to reattach to the communication network is not urgent.
A method, comprising:
- initiating, by a wireless communication device, communications with a session border controller of a communication network;
- receiving, by the wireless communication device, from the communication network a request to reattach to the communication network;
- and
- postponing, by the wireless communication device, a process for releasing bearer communications with the communication network responsive to detecting an active communication session initiated by the wireless communication device by way of the session border controller and determining that the request to reattach to the communication network is not urgent.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
- initiating communications with a session border controller of a communication network;
- receiving from the communication network a request to reattach to the communication network;
- and
- postponing a process for releasing bearer communications with the communication network responsive to detecting an active communication session initiated by the processing system by way of the session border controller and determining that the request to reattach to the communication network is not urgent.
