Abstract

An Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) application server can initially attempt to route a terminating call invite to a user equipment (UE) via a packet-switched (PS) domain radio access network (RAN). However, if that initial attempt fails, the application server can follow either a PS retry option to reattempt routing the terminating call invite via a PS-domain RAN, or a circuit-switched (CS) retry option to instead reattempt routing the terminating call invite via a CS-domain RAN. In some examples, if Home Subscriber Server (HSS) data indicates that the UE is connected to a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) RAN and that CS-domain location information for the UE is older than a threshold, the application server can enable the PS retry option. However, if the UE is connected to an LTE RAN but the CS-domain location information is more recent than the threshold, the application server can instead enable the CS retry option.
