Abstract:
A user equipment (UE), base station and a corresponding method for receiving historical data from a diagnostic server, receiving location data of the UE, determining a probability of a failed handover during a call based on the historical data and the location data, comparing the probability of the failed handover to a threshold value and initiating a call handover to a wireless local area network when the probability of the failed handover exceeds the threshold value. Also, a UE, base station and corresponding method for determining if one or more UEs have an active voice over WiFi call or if the UEs are registered with a Internet protocol (“IP”) multimedia subsystem (“IMS”) over WiFi and biasing a cell reselection procedure of the UE to select a cell of a packet switched network such as LTE.
