Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to informing a network that a UE desires packet-switched voice communication. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first information from a UE device requesting voice communication over a packet-switched network. In this embodiment, the method further includes transmitting, in response to the first information, second information to a base station serving the UE device, wherein the second information indicates that the UE device is requesting voice communication over the packet-switched network. In this embodiment, the transmitting is performed prior to establishment of a dedicated bearer by the base station for the UE device. In this embodiment, the second information operates to configure communications between the base station and the UE device to provide a particular quality of service for the packet-switched voice communication using the dedicated bearer.
