Assisted state transition of a user equipment (UE) for delay sensitive applications within a wireless communications system

摘要

In an embodiment, an application server receives a call message, from an originating user equipment (UE), that is configured to request initiation of a communication session, to be arbitrated by the application server, between the originating UE and at least one target UE. The application server selectively sends, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of a given UE associated with the communication session in order to facilitate a transition of the given UE to a dedicated-channel state. For example, the application server can selectively send the dummy data based on a size of the call message and/or based on a type of the communication session.

1. A method of selectively transitioning a state of a user equipment (UE) within a wireless communications system, comprising:
receiving, at an application server, a call message configured to request initiation of a communication session between an originating UE and at least one target UE that is to be arbitrated by the application server; and selectively sending, by said application server, by said application server, in response to the call message, dummy data to a serving access network of the originating UE in order to facilitate a transition of the originating UE to a dedicated-channel state.
