NETWORK RESELECTION BY A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE BASED ON SIGNAL-TO-NOISE RATIO

摘要

A method for network reselection by a wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device can have an established connection to a first network. The method can include measuring a signal strength and a signal-to-noise ratio of the first network. The method can further include determining that the signal strength satisfies a signal strength threshold. The method can additionally include comparing the signal-to-noise ratio to a signal-to-noise ratio threshold. The method can also include disconnecting from the first network and reselecting to a second network in an instance in which the signal-to-noise ratio does not satisfy the signal-to-noise ratio threshold even though the signal strength satisfies the signal strength threshold.

1. A method for network reselection by a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
measuring a downlink signal strength and a downlink signal quality of a first network to which the wireless communication device has an established connection; determining whether the downlink signal strength satisfies a downlink signal strength threshold; disconnecting from the first network and reselecting to a second network, when the downlink signal strength threshold is not satisfied; and when the downlink signal strength satisfies the downlink signal strength threshold:
determining whether the downlink signal quality satisfies a downlink signal quality threshold, anddisconnecting from the first network and reselecting to the second network when the downlink signal quality does not satisfy the downlink signal quality threshold.
