Abstract
Embodiments described herein relate to dynamic selection of radio access technologies (RATs) available for use by 5G wireless devices. Managing selection of RATs to use by a 5G (and 4G LTE) capable wireless device can improve performance, e.g., when an application requires a higher throughput and a 5G SA connection underperforms a 5G NSA connection or a 4G LTE connection. Wireless devices can provide geolocation tagged cellular wireless network information, e.g., network performance measurements and observed properties, to network-based servers that collate and organize the crowd-sourced cellular wireless network information into a location database. The wireless device can use the cellular wireless network information of the location database for a geolocation at which the wireless device is operating to estimate performance for alternate wireless connections and compare to measured performance of a currently used wireless connection to determine whether to switch wireless RAT connections.
