A call switching method and apparatus, a storage medium and a mobile terminal. The method comprises: when a first call module receives a call request of a first call type, triggering a second call module to query whether a call of a second call type is being executed; if a call of the second call type is currently being executed, the first call module generating prompt information; and when a first user instruction of a user is detected, switching the current call from the call of the second call type to a call of the first call type.

A user equipment and a method for performing a multi-Subscriber Identity Module (multi-SIM) operation are provided. The method includes connecting to a first network associated with a first Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) of the UE; receiving, from the first network, a first configuration indicating that the UE is allowed to transmit an assistance information message for switching to a second network associated with a second USIM of the UE, the first configuration further including a configuration of a timer; transmitting, to the first network, the assistance information message, the assistance information message including information of a preferred Radio Resource Control (RRC) state associated with the first network to indicate that the UE prefers to switch from an RRC_CONNECTED state associated with the first network to the preferred RRC state; and starting the timer upon transmitting the assistance information message.

This disclosure describes a user equipment device (UE). The UE includes one or more antennas; one or more radios configured to perform cellular communication using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) that support voice over an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS); and one or more processors coupled to the one or more radios. The one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to perform operations including: sending, to a communications network associated with a first RAT of the plurality of RATs, a first request for IMS registration, wherein the UE is camped on a first cell of the first RAT; determining, based on an IMS rejection failure, that the IMS registration failure is due to a temporary radio failure; and responsively attempting to perform the IMS registration on at least one other cell of the first RAT.

This disclosure describes a user equipment device (UE). The UE includes one or more antennas; one or more radios, where each of the radios is configured to perform cellular communication using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) that support voice over an Internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS); one or more processors coupled to the one or more radios, where the one or more processors are configured to cause the UE to perform operations including: sending, via a first RAT, a first request for IMS registration to an IMS server; receiving, from the IMS server, an IMS rejection message indicating failure of the IMS registration; determining, based on the IMS rejection message, that the IMS registration failure is temporary; responsively re-attempting IMS registration with the IMS server; and determining to camp on the first RAT in response to receiving an IMS acceptance message from the IMS server.

A method and an apparatus for terminating a cellular network connection of a terminal that is connected without authentication are provided. The disclosure relates to a communication technique and a system for fusing a 4th generation (4G) system and a 5th generation (5G) communication system to support higher data rates, which is subsequent to the 4G system, with Internet-of-things (IoT) technology. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safe-related services, or the like) based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

There are provided a method of managing radio connectivity of a vehicle and a system thereof. The method comprises: continuously receiving by vehicle's telematic system a predictive model generated by remote system using data continuously collected from a plurality of vehicles, wherein the collected data comprise, for each given vehicle of the plurality of vehicles, data informative of its location, speed and of Radio Access Technology (RAT)-related measurements; and, responsive to a predefined event, applying, by the telematic system, a lastly received predictive model to current values of a predefined set of inputs associated with the vehicle to obtain instructions and respectively provide corrective actions related to radio connectivity of the vehicle. The corrective actions include modifying RRC measurement report(s) so as to force the cellular network to provide one of: intra-RAT handover, inter-RAT handover; excluding available connectivity with undesired RAT or band; and terminating the radio connectivity with further RAT re-selecting.

Techniques are disclosed relating to a mobile device that initiates handovers from short-range networks to long-range networks. In various embodiments, a mobile device includes one or more radios that communicate using a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) including a cellular RAT and a short-range RAT. In such an embodiment, the mobile device stores an indication that the cellular RAT is a preferred RAT for a communication session. The mobile may establish the communication session using the preferred RAT, and in response to determining that a quality of the preferred RAT fails to satisfy a set of quality criteria, may request that the communication session use the short-range RAT. In some embodiments, the mobile device analyzes average packet error rate for the communication session and in response to the average packet error rate satisfying a threshold, requests that the communication session use the cellular RAT.

A communications method includes receiving, by user equipment (UE), a first message from a network side, where the first message is used to indicate to the UE to perform circuit switched fallback (CSFB) as a called party, where the first message includes first information, and where the first information is used to indicate an incoming call number. If it is determined that a preset condition is met, the communications method further includes sending a second message to the network side, where the second message is used to indicate that the CSFB is rejected, and where the preset condition includes at least one of the incoming call number is restricted or the UE is in a mode of automatically rejecting a CSFB incoming call.

A method of handling invalid PDU session during handover procedure between non-3GPP access and 3GPP access in a mobile communication network is proposed. A UE establishes a PDU session over a first RAT, and then tries to handover the PDU session from the first RAT to a second RAT. However, at the network side, the PDU session over the first RAT does not exist anymore and the network considers the PDU session to be invalid. The network thus sends a PDU session establishment reject message back to the UE, with a 5GSM status message cause value #54 indicating “PDU session does not exist”. At the UE side, the PDU session over the first RAT is still valid (e.g., not inactive). In order to resynchronize with the network, the UE performs a PDU session release procedure to release the PDU session over the first RAT.

The present disclosure concerns managing mobility and emergency handling by receiving a mobility message from a second entity for managing access and mobility, wherein the mobility message carries a data network identifier for an IP connectivity; determining that the data network identifier in the received mobility message is an emergency data network identifier, based on emergency data network identifiers contained in emergency configuration data with which the first entity for managing access and mobility is configured; and determining that the IP connectivity is established for an emergency service.
