Abstract
Techniques are described herein for optimizing band scanning for one or more bands supported by a mobile device for connection to a wireless network. The techniques include determining geolocation coordinates corresponding to a real-time location of a mobile device. The mobile device may identify at least one available radio frequency (RF) band supported by the mobile device based at least on the geolocation coordinates. In some aspects, the mobile device may determine whether a signal quality of the available RF band is above a predetermined threshold. If the signal quality of the available RF band is above the predetermined threshold, the mobile device may selectively prioritize a scan for support by a wireless network of the available RF band and connect to the wireless network using the available RF band.
