  • SCANNING FREQUENCY OPTIMIZATION FOR ALTERNATE NETWORK ACCESS IN DUAL MODE WIRELESS DEVICES
    Publication number: 20090068970
    Abstract: A method, information processing system, and wireless device are disclosed for managing network scanning intervals. The method includes detecting a new wireless network coverage area (130). At least one local dynamic scanning profile (110) is analyzed in response to the determining. The at least one local dynamic scanning profile (110) is determined to include identification information (306) associated with the new wireless network coverage area (130). A network scanning interval for identifying wireless sub-networks (112) within the new wireless network coverage area is dynamically adjusted in response to the determining that the at least one local dynamic scanning profile 110 includes the identification information (306). The adjustment is based on a scanning interval (312) indicated by the at least one local dynamic scanning profile 110 for the new wireless network coverage area (130).
