Abstract:
1. A method comprising: monitoring, by a mobile device, available radio access networks for information on types of radio access technologies of the available radio access networks and one or more of measurements of signal quality of the available radio access networks, measurements of signal strengths of the available radio access networks, or carrier identifiers of the available radio access networks; calculating, by the mobile device, network priorities for the available radio access networks based on the types of radio access technologies, detecting, by the mobile device, a border condition due to movement of the mobile device based on a decrease in the measurements of signal quality or the measurements of signal strengths; selecting, by the mobile device and after detecting the border condition, an available radio access network from the available radio access networks based on the calculated network priorities of the available radio access networks; and connecting, by the mobile device, to a communication channel using the selected available radio access network.
