Abstract

The technology described herein selects an optimal multiplexing technology to use for a communication session. The optimal technology will minimize the probability of a disruption (e.g., a dropped call) during a communication session. A multiplexing decision process may be implemented when a user equipment (UE) is not capable of transitioning between two different multiplexing technologies and is located in a geographic area where networks using two different multiplexing technologies are available. In one aspect, the selection of an optimal multiplexing technology considers the network context at a time when the communication session is initiated, the UE's context (e.g., location near network edge, mobility profile), a device profile for the UE model, the UE history, and usage history for the user of the UE.
