Abstract: A wireless communication device (UE) may perform wireless communications according to at least a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT. When the UE is in idle-mode, it may determine whether to bias a RAT selection policy—which may be presently favoring networks operating according to the first RAT—towards the second RAT, based on one or more of the following: first information indicative of a quality of previous wireless communications performed by the UE according to the first RAT, second information indicative of an overall quality of wireless communications performed according to the first RAT by the UE over a specified period of time at a specific location where the UE is presently located, and/or third information indicative of an overall quality of wireless communications performed according to the first RAT by other UEs presently located at the specific location.
