Abstract

A wireless communication device includes a wireless transceiver to wirelessly receive and transmit radio frequency (RF) signals and sample a signal representative of the received RF signal over a predetermined time period. The receiver stores the sampled signal in a memory. After the predetermined time period, a processor, coupled to the wireless transceiver and the memory, concurrently searches the sampled signal for multiple communication signals each operating according to a corresponding one of multiple, different mobile communication standards. If one of the communication signals is found, the WCD attempts to connect wirelessly with a communication network from which the found communication signal originates.
