Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for a scan reduction associated with legacy RATs. A UE may receive, from a database, an indication that a first RAT is unavailable for communications associated with a PLMN. The indication that the first RAT is unavailable may be based on one or more unsuccessful scans for the first RAT. The UE may scan for a second RAT based on a skipped scan for the first RAT. The skipped scan may be based on the indication that the first RAT is unavailable. The UE may communicate with the PLMN based on the scan for the second RAT and the skipped scan for the first RAT.
