First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication at a mobile device, comprising:
- determining a signal quality for at least one channel for a first radio utilizing a first radio access technology (RAT);
comparing the signal quality for the first radio with a threshold; and
adapting a scan activity of a second radio utilizing a second RAT based, at least in part, on the comparison.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for adaptive scanning with a multi-radio device. A mobile device may monitor the signal quality of an established communication associated with a first radio (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio) to dynamically adapt the measurement activity (e.g., scanning periodicity) of a second radio (e.g., wireless local area network (WLAN) radio) to minimize data transmission interruption.
