SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SWITCHING NETWORKS IN ACTIVE MODE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a first antenna configured to communicate with a device over a first network;
a second antenna configured to monitor for a second network during the communication with the device, the second network having a higher throughput than the first network; and
a processor coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna, the processor configured to;
determine an application usage history of the device; and
selectively transition the communication from the first network to the second network based on a parameter of the first network, a parameter of the second network, and the application usage history of the device.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for switching networks in active mode are described herein. In one aspect a method of wireless communication is provided. The method includes communicating with a device over a first network. The method further includes monitoring for a second network during the communication with the device, the second network having a higher throughput than the first network. The method further includes determining an application usage history of the device. The method further includes selectively transitioning the communication from the first network to the second network based on a parameter of the first network, a parameter of the second network, and an application usage history of the device.
