Radio access technology selection
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communications device, the method comprising:
- predicting an application expected to be used based on a user'"'"'s interaction with the wireless communications device, where predicting the application expected to be used comprises;
determining a current status of a user interface of the wireless communications device based on the user interaction, andpredicting the application expected to be used based on the determined current status of the user interface;
determining a preferred radio access technology (RAT) based on the predicted application;
determining whether the wireless communications device is currently utilizing the determined preferred RAT as a current RAT; and
performing one of;
ensuring that the wireless communications device continues to utilize the current RAT when the determined preferred RAT corresponds to the current RAT, orsearching for the determined preferred RAT when the current RAT does not correspond to the determined preferred RAT and selecting the determined preferred RAT, based on the searching, when the determined preferred RAT is found.

Abstract
A method of operating a wireless communication device may include predicting an application expected to be used based on a user interaction with the wireless communications device, determining a preferred radio access technology (RAT) based on the predicted application, determining whether the wireless communications device is currently utilizing the determined preferred RAT as a current RAT, and performing one of ensuring that the wireless communications device continues to utilize the current RAT when the determined preferred RAT corresponds to the current RAT, or searching for the determined preferred RAT when the current RAT does not correspond to the determined preferred RAT and selecting the determined preferred RAT, based on the searching, when the determined preferred RAT is found.

19. A computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by at least one processor of a wireless communications device, the computer-readable medium comprising:
-
one or more instructions for predicting an application that will be started based on a user'"'"'s interaction with the wireless communications device, where the one or more instructions for predicting the application further include; one or more instructions to determine a current status of a user interface of the wireless communications device based on the user interaction, and one or more instructions to predict the application based on the determined current status of the user interface; one or more instructions for determining a preferred radio access technology (RAT) based on the predicted application; one or more instructions for determining whether a current RAT being utilized by the wireless communications device corresponds to the preferred RAT; one or more instructions for ensuring that the wireless communications device continues to utilize the current RAT when the preferred RAT corresponds to the current RAT; and one or more instructions for searching for the preferred RAT when the current RAT does not correspond to the preferred RAT. - View Dependent Claims (20)
