Selective network parameter configuratons based on network identification of non-IMS multimedia applications

摘要

In a first embodiment, an access network detects whether QoS links for both IMS and non-IMS sessions are allocated to a client device, whereby the non-IMS session is recognized as being associated with a particular application type. An SRVCC feature for the IMS session is disabled if the QoS link for the non-IMS session exists and carries at least a threshold level of traffic. In a second embodiment, a non-IMS session is supported by a first network with QoS and is then handed off to a second network. After the handoff, the second network supports the non-IMS session with an application-specific QoS configuration based on application-identifying information provided from the first network. In a third embodiment, a single or dual-transceiver client device is engaged in a non-IMS session with QoS. A page originating from a CS network is ignored if a do-not-disturb feature is activated for the non-IMS session.

1. A method of handing off a session from a first network of a first type to a second network of a second type, comprising:
supporting, by the first network for a client device, a non-Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) session on a first Quality of Service (QoS) link associated with a first application-specific QoS link configuration, the first application-specific QoS link configuration configured to be used by the first network for supporting non-IMS sessions associated with an application of a given type; detecting a handoff of the non-IMS session from the first network to the second network; and notifying the second network with regard to application-identifying information that identifies the application of the given type that is associated with the non-IMS session to trigger setup, by the second network, of a second QoS link associated with a second application-specific QoS link configuration for supporting the non-IMS session for the client device, the application-identifying information configured to be directly mapped to the second application-specific QoS link configuration, the second application-specific QoS link configuration configured to be used by the second network for supporting non-IMS sessions associated with the application of the given type.
