Abstract

A user equipment (UE) may perform multiple searches within a specified search period to locate the wireless band that provides the most throughput. For instance, if the UE finds a low band with time remaining in the search period, the UE continues to search for a higher frequency wireless. In some examples, the UE attempts to locate a high band within a next portion of the search period. If the UE finds the high band, then the UE will use that band since it provides the most throughput of the available bands. If the UE does not find the high band, then the UE searches for a mid-band for another portion of the search time. By prioritizing higher bands over the first available band that is located in the initial search, the UE will connect to the band that provides the best user experience and the most throughput.
