    Abstract: The present disclosure describes apparatuses and techniques of adaptive PLMN management for varying network conditions. In some aspects, a PLMN manager of a user equipment (UE) searches, as part of a registration procedure, a data repository of PLMN information that includes a PLMN blocked from registration for a duration of time and determines that the PLMN is blocked due to a signal-related condition with a cell of the PLMN (e.g., weak signal). The PLMN manager then determines, during the duration of time, that the signal-related condition between the UE and the cell has improved. In response to the improvement, the PLMN manager unblocks the PLMN before expiration of the duration of time. By so doing, the UE may reattempt registration with the unblocked PLMN at least once before the duration of time expires, which may allow the UE to register more quickly and reestablish network services.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wirelessly scanning frequency bands based on device location and/or mobility are presented. The method can include (i) scanning, by a mobile device and according to a first wireless scanning protocol, frequencies within first frequency bands that correspond to a first geographic region and second frequency bands that correspond to a second geographic region; (ii) determining at least one of an estimated location or an estimated mobility characteristic of the mobile device; (iii) determining, based on at least one of the estimated location or the estimated mobility characteristic, to adjust a scheduled time for the mobile device to initiate scanning according to a second wireless scanning protocol; (iv) and initiating at the scheduled time, scanning according to the second wireless scanning protocol.

    Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides systems and techniques to automatically configure a proximal device, such as a smart watch, a tablet, or any other smart device, based on configuration information sent from the user equipment (UE) to the proximal device when the local communications connection, such as a wireless connection, between the devices is weak. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically send network configuration information to the proximal device. If it is determined that there is a weak local communications connection between the UE and the proximal device the UE may automatically turn on its mobile hotspot, and automatically send the mobile hotspot configuration information to the proximal device.

    Abstract: A User Equipment (UE) (102) supports a plurality of RF bands (132) associated with a plurality of country codes. The UE (102) reduces the entirety of the set of UE-supported RF bands (132) based on a current, physical location (115) of the UE (102), and the UE (102) advertises only the reduced set of UE-supported RF bands to a network or wireless communication system (100), e.g., for attachment purposes. For example, the UE (102) may reduce the entirety of the set of RF bands that it supports (132) based on a country code provided by a base station (105, 108) of a network (100) and the physical location (115) of the UE (102), thereby generating a reduced set of UE-supported RF bands. Subsequently, the UE (102) may advertise only the reduced set of RF bands supported by the UE (102), and refrain from advertising one or more RF bands excluded from the reduced set, e.g., by omitting any indication of the excluded RF bands from advertisements.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods related to acquiring service on mobile computing devices (MCDs) are provided. A method includes determining a decreasing sequence of scan ratios, each scan ratio indicating a proportion of time over which a MCD scans one or more frequencies to attempt connection with a wireless network during a disconnected time window. The method further includes determining a connected time window' when the MCD is connected to the wireless network. The method additionally includes determining a ping-pong rate for the MCD based at least on a duration of the connected time window. The method also includes selecting a scan ratio from the decreasing sequence of scan ratios based on the ping-pong rate. The method further includes scanning the one or more frequencies in accordance with the decreasing sequence of scan ratios and starting from the selected scan ratio to cause the MCD to attempt connection with the wireless network.
