Selection of a radio access technology resource based on radio access technology resource historical information

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a system comprising a processor, location information associated with a user equipment;
• determining, by the system, that a first radio access technology resource of a set of radio access technology resources provides coverage to the location;
• determining, by the system, a value related to rank ordering the first radio access technology resource and other radio access technology resources of the set of radio access technology resources based on historical performance information of the set of radio access technology resources;
• selecting, by the system, a radio access technology resource, from the set of radio access technology resources determined to provide coverage to the location, based on the value being determined to have satisfied a rule related to selection of the radio access technology resource, wherein a radio access technology employed by the radio access technology resource is different from that of another radio access technology resource of the set of radio access technology resources;
• and
• initiating, by the system, a communications link employing the radio access technology resource.

A mobile device comprising:

• a memory to store executable instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:
• determining location information associated with the mobile device;
• determining that a first radio access technology resource, of a set of radio access technology resources representing a plurality of radio access technologies, provides coverage to the mobile device based on the location information;
• receiving historical wireless communication performance information related to the first radio access technology resource;
• designating a ranking value associated with the first radio access technology resource based on the historical wireless communication performance information, wherein the ranking value is related to sorting radio access technology resources of the set of radio access technology resources by historical wireless communication performance;
• and
• initiating a communications link via a second radio access technology resource selected from the set of radio access technology resources based on the ranking value.
