Abstract
A mobile device determines the radio access technology (RAT) to use to connect to a wireless network at a geographic location based on determining the highest priority RAT that the mobile device is compatible with in the geographic location. The highest priority RAT in the geographic location is, for example, the RAT with the largest aggregate bandwidth or the RAT with the best user quality of experience in the geographic location. The mobile device can determine the highest priority RAT based on band and bandwidth information at the geographic location or the wireless network can determine the highest priority RAT based on band and bandwidth or measurement reports received from mobile devices in the geographic location.
