Systems and methods for improved data speeds for wireless devices

摘要

A system and method for improving the user experience with a mobile wireless device by reconnecting to a faster speed connection after being rejected for the higher speed by an overloaded cell before expiration of a de-prioritization timer when the mobile wireless device travels away from the overloaded cell. In an embodiment, a method includes receiving from the first cell a connection rejection instructing the mobile wireless device to de-prioritize one or more frequencies of the first connection technology and a de-prioritization timer indicating a time period for the frequencies to remain de-prioritized; determining that the mobile wireless device has left the coverage area of the first cell; and connecting to a second cell of the telecommunication network via a connection in the one or more frequencies of the first connection technology prior to the expiration of the de-prioritization timer.

主权项

1. A method performed by a mobile wireless device for connecting to a telecommunication network, comprising:
sending a request to connect to a first cell of the telecommunication network, wherein the first cell implements a first connection technology; receiving from the first cell a connection rejection comprising a de-prioritization request, the de-prioritization request instructing the mobile wireless device to de-prioritize one or more frequencies of the first connection technology and comprising a de-prioritization timer indicating a time period for the one or more frequencies to remain de-prioritized; in response to the de-prioritization request, connecting to the telecommunication network via a connection of a second connection technology, wherein the connection of the second connection technology is of a higher priority than the de-prioritized one or more frequencies of the first connection technology but is of a lower data rate compared to the one or more frequencies of the first connection technology; determining that the mobile wireless device has left a coverage area of the first cell; and connecting to a second cell of the telecommunication network via a connection using one of the one or more frequencies of the first connection technology prior to an expiration of the de-prioritization timer.
