1. A method for modulating scanning behavior of a wireless user equipment (UE) device, comprising:
- determining a geographic area location where said wireless UE device is located;
responsive to determining that a cross-technology database on the wireless UE device is out-of-date for said geographic area location, updating the cross-technology database for said geographic area location; and
responsive to determining that a radio access technology (RAT) previously available in said geographic area location is not currently available, modifying the frequency of searches for said RAT.

Abstract
A method for modulating scanning behavior of a wireless user equipment (UE) device includes determining a geographic area location where the wireless UE device is located and responsive to determining that a radio access technology (RAT) previously available in the geographic area location is not currently available, modifying the frequency of searches for the radio access technology. A corresponding wireless user device is also shown.
