Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods for increasing the rescan timer for a wireless communication device. In a particular embodiment, a method comprises determining locations of the wireless communication device and detecting performance conditions when the wireless communication device transitions between communicating with a home wireless network and a visited wireless network. The method further comprises correlating the performance conditions to the corresponding locations of the wireless communication device and processing the correlated performance conditions and corresponding locations to determine a geographic area having performance issues when transitioning between communicating with the home wireless network and the visited wireless network. If the wireless communication device communicates with the visited wireless network when in the geographic area, then the method provides increasing the home wireless network rescan timer.
