METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING COMMON CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS OF SMS
摘要
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which 1x CSFB for communication of SMS messages in an LTE environment may be avoided. An IWS may receive a paging request message from a MSC, wherein the paging request message includes a first SMS service option indicating communication of a SMS message using a first RAT. The IWS may avoid an ESR procedure by analyzing the first SMS service option in the paging request message. Further the IWS may establish a common channel connection between the IWS and a target UE using a second RAT, wherein the first RAT and the second RAT are different.
