Utilizing signal powers associated with multiple channels of a mobile device to facilitate network selection

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media, for facilitating selection of networks are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes receiving at a user device a first signal via a first channel of a MIMO-enabled network and a second signal via a second channel of the MIMO-enabled network. A first power associated with the first signal and a second power associated with the second signal are identified. The first power associated with the first channel and the second power associated with the second channel are used to determine an undesired connection of the user device with the MIMO-enabled network.

主权项

1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for facilitating selection of networks, the method comprising:
receiving at a user device a first signal via a first channel from a base transceiver station (BTS) of a MIMO-enabled network; identifying a first signal power associated with the first signal received from the BTS;receiving at the user device a second signal via a second channel from the BTS of the MIMO-enabled network;
identifying a second signal power associated with the second signal received from the BTS; comparing the first signal power with the second signal power; based on the comparison of the first signal power and the second signal power, determining a measure of closeness between the first signal power and the second signal power; when the measure of closeness between the first signal power and the second signal power falls within a threshold, then determining that a connection with the base transceiver station is using the first power associated with the first channel and the second power associated with the second channel to determine an undesired connection of the user device with the MIMO-enabled network.
