Abstract
Various embodiments include multimode communication devices and methods for managing usage of radio access technologies (RATs). In various embodiments, the multimode communication device may prevent scanning for a signal of higher priority RATs when a communication link is established with a lower priority RAT and the multimode communication device determines that the device is stationary. Signal characteristics of the communication link and/or other resources that can detect when the multimode communication device has moved may be monitored. In response to a change in signal characteristics or another indication that the multimode communication device has moved, scanning of higher priority RATs may be reactivated.
