EFFICIENT NETWORK ACQUISITION SCANS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17661138 Titled 'EFFICIENT NETWORK ACQUISITION SCANS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wireless communication system where a user device can detect when a second network is better than the first network it is currently connected to. The user device can then increase the time it spends searching for the second network and switch to using it for connectivity.
Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect, while operating in an out-of-service (OOS) mode associated with a first network, that a second network satisfies one or more switching criteria. The UE may increase a time duration associated with a periodic network acquisition scan associated with the first network based at least in part on detecting that the second network satisfies the one or more switching criteria. The UE may switch, while operating in the OOS mode, from using the first network for connectivity to using the second network for connectivity based at least in part on detecting that the second network satisfies the one or more switching criteria. Numerous other aspects are described.
