Abstract: In embodiments, an apparatus for providing wireless connectivity based routing for a vehicle may include a user interface to receive one or more wireless connectivity preferences and a navigation request from a user and to display a recommended route to a destination for the user, the recommended route to meet the one or more wireless connectivity preferences while the vehicle follows the recommended route to the destination. The apparatus may further include a local database to store geotagged wireless connectivity data for various geolocations, collected by one or more geotagged wireless connectivity scanners of the vehicle, and a route determination engine coupled to the user interface and to the local database to determine the recommended route, wherein the user interface, the local database and the route determination engine are disposed in the vehicle.

Abstract: A wireless communication recovery method and a corresponding communication device are described. In the wireless communication recovery method, a connection failure of a radio access technology (RAT) is detected. Further, the detected connection failure is categorized based on a network level at which the connection failure has occurred. The RAT at the corresponding network level is then disabled for a time period based on the categorization of the connection failure and service in the RAT is recovered based on thresholds for the categorized failure levels.
