A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING SCANNING FROM A MULTI-BAND COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE

摘要

Systems and methods for optimizing scanning from a multi-band communications device. A multi-band communications device scans for identifiers from one or more base stations. The multi-band communications device determines whether the received base station identifiers are associated with an access point (AP) on a list of APs. The multi-band communications device connects to the AP when the received base station identifiers are associated with the AP. The terms "base station" and "access point" encompass transmit and receive sites that provide communications using various technologies that may include Wi-Fi and cellular.
