Abstract
In a first embodiment, an access network detects whether QoS links for both IMS and non-IMS sessions are allocated to a client device, whereby the non-IMS session is recognized as being associated with a particular application type. An SRVCC feature for the IMS session is disabled if the QoS link for the non-IMS session exists and carries at least a threshold level of traffic. In a second embodiment, a non-IMS session is supported by a first network with QoS and is then handed off to a second network. After the handoff, the second network supports the non-IMS session with an application-specific QoS configuration based on application-identifying information provided from the first network. In a third embodiment, a single or dual-transceiver client device is engaged in a non-IMS session with QoS. A page originating from a CS network is ignored if a do-not-disturb feature is activated for the non-IMS session.
