20110256869 | PEER-TO-PEER ASSISTED NETWORK SEARCH - Methods, program products, and systems of peer-to-peer assisted network searching are disclosed. In general, in one aspect, a first mobile device can request cellular connectivity configuration information from one or more second mobile devices over a personal area network. The first mobile device can receive the cellular connectivity configuration information from the one or more second mobile devices. From the received cellular connectivity configuration information, the first mobile device can identify a cellular connectivity configuration that is compatible with the first mobile device. The first mobile device can select a cellular network to connect to using the identified cellular connectivity configuration. | 10-20-2011 |
20120309391 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE NETWORK SELECTION - Methods and apparatus enabling dynamic and adaptive network selection. In one embodiment of the invention, a device quickly identifies the a subset of networks providing service to a particular location without obtaining and/or prioritizing a full list of all available networks. A “highest” priority network is selected for registration. For example, a mobile device that cannot locate its home (or last registered) network (e.g., Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN)), searches for any available network. The mobile device can identify its current location from information broadcast by any networks (e.g., a Mobile Country Code (MCC)). Once the mobile has identified its current location, it searches for prioritized networks within its current location. | 12-06-2012 |
20130286936 | EXTENSION OF LOCATION STATUS EVENT - A processor in a mobile wireless device communicates detailed state information about attachments to a user identity module card embedded in the mobile wireless device. The processor detects a change in an attach state of the mobile wireless device for at least one of a plurality of attachment types. The processor determines the attach state of the mobile wireless device for each of the plurality of attachment types and sends a status message to the user identity module card indicating the determined attach states. The plurality of attachment types can include at least a circuit switched attachment and a packet switched attachment. The processor can wait until completion of circuit switched and packet switched attachments of the mobile wireless device to the wireless network prior to sending the status message. | 10-31-2013 |
20140031033 | ENHANCEMENT TO PLMN SELECTION PROCESS WHILE ROAMING - A method and apparatus for a mobile wireless device configured to adaptively scan for a preferred wireless network while roaming is described. In one embodiment, at least a portion of a database including characteristic information regarding wireless networks can be stored within the mobile wireless device. Network characteristic information can include mobile country codes, mobile network codes, location area codes and cell-IDs. When the mobile wireless device is connected to a network that is not a preferred network, the mobile wireless device can use the database information in conjunction with characteristics from a connected wireless network to determine when to scan for the preferred wireless network. | 01-30-2014 |

20150341846 | Targeted PLMN Search - Targeted public land mobile network (PLMN) search by a wireless user equipment (UE) device. A PLMN search may be initiated at the UE. It may be determined whether PLMN search targeting information is available. A targeted PLMN search may be performed if PLMN search targeting information is available. Targeting the PLMN search may include reducing the number of frequencies or frequency bands searched as part of the PLMN search. | 11-26-2015 |
20150351021 | Device-Type Specific Preferred PLMN List - Generating and using a device-type specific preferred public land mobile network (PLMN) list for roaming PLMN selection. Wireless devices sharing one or more common characteristics may be tasked with collecting roaming PLMN selection data. That data may be collected and used to generate a preferred PLMN list specific to wireless devices sharing those common characteristics. The preferred PLMN list may be distributed to wireless devices sharing those common characteristics, which may then use it in conjunction with roaming PLMN selection. | 12-03-2015 |
