Abstract
A method at a mobile device, and the mobile device, the method selecting a subset of radio access technologies available to the mobile device over which a predetermined set of services on the mobile device is available; and deselecting at least one radio access technology not within the selected subset of radio access technologies.
Claims18
A method at a mobile device comprising:
- determining a set of required mobile services, such mobile services requiring a radio connection over at least one radio access technology;
- selecting a subset of radio access technologies available to the mobile device over which the required mobile services on the mobile device are available;
- and
- when the mobile device is in idle mode, deselecting at least one radio access technology not within the selected subset of radio access technologies,
- wherein the deselecting at least one radio access technology saves resources on the mobile device.
2 more elements
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a communications subsystem, wherein the processor and communications subsystem cooperate to:
- determine a set of required mobile services, such mobile services requiring a radio connection over at least one radio access technology;
- select a subset of radio access technologies available to the mobile device over which the required mobile services on the mobile device are available;
- and
- when the mobile device is in idle mode, deselect at least one radio access technology not within the selected subset of radio access technologies, thereby saving resources on the mobile device.
