    Abstract: A wireless communication enabled device can establish a connection with a wireless communications network and can assign a network quality score to the wireless communications network based on one or more characteristics of the wireless communications network. The wireless communication enabled device can observe a current quality of the connection with the wireless communications network. If the quality of the network connection has degraded below a threshold level, the wireless communication enabled device can start a network reevaluation timer. The length of time monitored by the network reevaluation timer can be based on the assigned network quality score. Upon expiration of the network reevaluation timer, the wireless communication enabled device reevaluates the quality of the network connection. If the network connection is still in a degraded state at the time of reevaluation, the wireless communication enabled device may switch to another available wireless communications network.

    Abstract translation: 无线通信使能设备可以建立与无线通信网络的连接,并且可以基于无线通信网络的一个或多个特性向无线通信网络分配网络质量评分。 无线通信使能设备可以观察到与无线通信网络的连接的当前质量。 如果网络连接的质量降低到阈值以下,启用无线通信的设备可以启动网络重新计时定时器。 由网络重新评估定时器监视的时间长度可以基于所分配的网络质量得分。 网络重估计时器到期后,启用无线通信设备重新评估网络连接的质量。 如果网络连接在重新评估时仍然处于退化状态,则启用无线通信的设备可以切换到另一个可用的无线通信网络。
