Benefits of technology
The patent describes a system and method for seamlessly switching between different wireless communication networks, such as LTE and non-LTE networks. The system includes a wireless communication device with a transceiver system and processing system. The method involves exchanging signals with the networks and analyzing network data to select the best network for the user's application. The technical effect is to provide a more efficient and seamless transition for users between different wireless networks.
Problems solved by technology
However, there are currently no methods to seamlessly switch back to the faster data connection when the user approaches another faster connection zone.
This can be extremely inefficient for users as some data connections may last for long periods of time preventing the switch back to the faster data connection.

Examples disclosed herein provide systems, methods, and software for transitioning between wireless communication networks. In one example, a method of operating a wireless communication device to transition between wireless communication networks includes exchanging first wireless communication signals with a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network for an application in the wireless communication device. The method further includes transitioning from exchanging the first wireless communication signals with the LTE network, to exchanging second wireless communication signals with at least one non-LTE base station for the application in the wireless communication device, and identifying LTE network status data to estimate an LTE network data rate. Based at least on the LTE network data rate, the method provides identifying an eNodeB sector and frequency carrier. Upon identifying the eNodeB sector and frequency carrier, the wireless communication device will drop to an idle mode before returning to an active mode connected to the LTE communication network.
Description
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND[0001]Many modern wireless communication devices are capable of switching from a faster data connection, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE), to a slower connection, such as Enhanced Voice-Data Optimized (EVDO). These switches occur seamlessly when a user moves from a location with the faster data connection to a location with the slower data connection. For example, if a user makes a data connection while in an LTE coverage zone, the data connection will seamlessly switch to the slower connection when the user leaves the LTE zone.[0002]The switch to the slower connection is efficient for users. However, there are currently no methods to seamlessly switch back to the faster data connection when the user approaches another faster connection zone. Instead, the device will typically wait for the user to cease communications on the device, and then switch the device back into the faster data connection mode during this down period. This can be extremely inefficient for...
