Claim Text:
1. A method to improve connection performance of a wireless device configured to support one or more circuit-switched radio access bearers (CS RABs) and one or more packet-switched radio access bearers (PS RABs), the method comprising: by the wireless device: communicating data between the wireless device and a wireless network via one or more background PS processes using at least one PS RAB of the one or more PS RABs; responsive to initiation of a CS connection with the wireless network, the CS connection using at least one CS RAB, determine a likelihood that the CS connection will fail when the one or more background PS processes operate concurrently with the CS connection; and when the determined likelihood exceeds a failure threshold, suspend at least one of the one or more background PS processes that use at least one of the PS RABs for at least the duration of the CS connection to reduce likelihood of a connection failure between the wireless device and the wireless network.
