Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a mobile computing device, location data from a global positioning system device; computing, by the mobile computing device, movement data based, at least in part, on the location data; determining, by the mobile computing device, a rate of movement of the mobile computing device based, at least in part, on the movement data; determining a mobility state of the mobile computing device based, at least in part, on the rate of movement; determining a first signal strength of a neighboring base station relative to a second signal strength of a current base station; determining, by the mobile computing device, a scaling factor based on the mobility state; applying the scaling factor to at least one of the first signal strength or the second signal strength; and reselecting to the neighboring base station responsive to determining that the first signal strength is greater than the second signal strength for a period of time.
