Abstract
A method and apparatus for enabling fast dormancy on LTE wireless connections. In an example embodiment, a user device generates a signal strength measurement report upon receiving an indication that a data transfer via an active wireless connection with a first infrastructure node according to a first wireless communication standard, such as LTE, is complete. The user device submits the signal strength measurement report to the first infrastructure node to trigger a handover. The user device implements the handover to a second infrastructure node to yield a second wireless connection according to a second wireless communication standard, such as WCDMA. Upon completion of the handover to the second infrastructure node, the user device transmits to the second infrastructure node a request to release the second wireless connection.
