Abstract:
1. A method for execution in a wireless device, the method comprising: determining available wireless networks upon an event triggering registration; determining whether any of the available wireless networks have been previously identified as high priority networks for registration; and if none of the available wireless networks have been previously identified as high priority networks for registration: selecting an available wireless network for registration based on a prioritization of the available wireless networks; wherein for each available wireless network that the wireless device previously registered to, the available wireless network is associated with a low priority level if (i) the available wireless network has not been identified as a high priority network and (ii) Circuit Switched ‘CS’ service was rejected but Packet Switched ‘PS’ service was allowed; after registering with a given network, associating the given network with the low priority level if the given network rejects CS service but allows PS service.
