US 9,883,546 B2 · Postponing a resending of a data service request

Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for user equipment (UE) devices to perform a postponement of a data service request are described. A UE may detect a data service request failure during cell reselection and postpone a resend of the data service request based on a status of the cell reselection. The status may be an indication that the UE is attempting to camp on a cell or that the UE is monitoring one or more metrics associated with cell reselection. To postpone the data service request, the UE may postpone the data service request for a specified period of time or until the cell reselection is complete. The status may be monitored on a first layer of a protocol stack and the data service request may generated by a second layer of the protocol stack. The postponement may be for a fixed or variable time period.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A wireless user equipment (UE) device, comprising:

at least one antenna for performing wireless communications;
a radio coupled to the at least one antenna;
and
a processing element coupled to the radio;
wherein the processing element is configured to cause the UE to:
detect a data service request failure during cell reselection;
start a timer upon notification from a lower layer of a protocol stack implemented on the UE;
and
postpone, based on a status of the cell reselection, a resend of the data service request until the timer expires or is interrupted.
