Abstract
The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods directed to adaptive connection management for marginal network conditions. In some aspects, a connection manager () of a user equipment device () measures one or more signal-related characteristics of a cellular network () that include signal strength of a connection (-) available through a base station (-) of the cellular network. The connection manager () can determine, based on the one or more signal-related characteristics, that the connection (-) available through the base station (-) of the cellular network () is marginal or likely unreliable. In response to this determination, the connection manager () can alter connection parameters of the user equipment device () effective to mitigate effects associated with attempting to connect or use the marginal connection. In some cases, the user equipment device () is prevented from acquiring the marginal connection, which reduces signaling overhead or retransmissions effective to conserve power of the user equipment device ().
