CELLULAR NETWORK SCANNING CONTROL BASED ON AMBIENT IDENTIFIABLE WIRELESS SIGNAL SOURCES

摘要

Described herein are techniques related to reducing scanning in a cellular network. A mobile device reduces scanning of the cellular network when coverage holes are detected and/or predicted along a route traveled by or a place visited by the mobile device. A mobile device also reduces scanning of the cellular network when the mobile 5 device is stationary. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope and meaning of the claims.
