    Abstract: A network scan may be performed, and the best network may be selected in real time in the device after evaluating all available carriers whose network information is gathered by network scanning The network scan enables the device to fairly compare the connectivity of the available carrier services and can be used to improve the on-device network selection. The network scan may be further used in order to ensure the existence of a better carrier service before switching. Accordingly, this may reduce unnecessary poor switches to networks having lower quality connections and increase good switches to networks having better quality. The present disclosure provides for determining when to run network scan and how to use the scan results to make the cell network selection decision.
