Enhanced out-of-service scan and system selection for dual-subscription, dual-active devices

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining one or more frequencies at which a first transceiver of a wireless device is susceptible to interference generated by a second transceiver of the wireless device;
• and
• means for modifying a search for a radio access network conducted using the first transceiver based on the one or more frequencies, wherein means for modifying the search for the radio access network comprises:
• means for determining an estimate of a power level of the interference;
• means for increasing a threshold power level based on the estimate of the power level of the interference, wherein the threshold power level is used to determine presence of a pilot signal;
• and
• means for prioritizing a first set of frequency bands that are identified as being free from the interference from the second transceiver;
• and
• means for searching in the first set of frequency bands before searching in a second set of frequency bands for pilot signals having a signal power level that exceeds the increased threshold power level, wherein the second set of frequency bands includes the one or more frequencies determined to be susceptible to the interference from the second transceiver;
• wherein the first transceiver is susceptible to the interference by transmission of the interference through one or more circuits within the wireless device.
