System and Method for Supporting Switching Between a Packet-Switched Network and a Circuit-Switched Network

摘要

A User Equipment (UE) (20) has multiple transceivers, each having a corresponding receiver configured to communicate on respective carriers. The UE (20) monitors a radio access network (RAN) (16) on a serving cell using a first of the receivers, and indicates to the base station (80) that at least one of its receivers will temporary tune-out from the RAN (16). The base station (80) receives the indication from the UE (20), and temporarily suspends communications with the UE (20).
