User Context Aware Throttling of Transition Attempts to Connected Mode

摘要

Throttling of transition attempts to connected mode based on user context. A wireless device may camp on a serving cell. A motion state of the wireless device may be monitored. One or more connected mode transition procedures on the serving cell may be attempted. If at least a threshold number of connected mode transition procedures fail on the serving cell while the wireless device is stationary, further connected mode transition attempts may be throttled for up to a certain amount of time. Alternatively, or in addition, the wireless device may bar itself from camping on that cell for up to a certain amount of time. Either or both of throttling connected mode transition attempts or barring cells may also be based on other aspects of user context, such as display state.

主权项

1. A wireless user equipment (UE) device, comprising:
a radio; motion sensing circuitry; and a processing element operably coupled to the radio; wherein the radio, motion sensing circuitry, and processing element are configured to:
attempt one or more procedures to transition from an idle mode to a connected mode via cellular communication with a first base station;determine whether or not the UE is stationary; andthrottle further connected mode transition procedure attempts for up to a first predetermined period of time if a number of most recent connected mode transition procedure attempts equal to a first threshold number have failed and the UE is stationary.
