Samsung patents AI-driven network switching for better phone signal

Samsung describes a method where a phone uses an AI model to detect if it has moved into an area with weaker network coverage. If the AI determines the device has left a high-quality zone, it triggers a search to reconnect to a stronger network type.

Why it mattersThis could help phones maintain a stable connection by automatically adjusting to network changes without waiting for standard system checks.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic device includes: at least one processor including processing circuitry; and memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: determine whether a radio-access technology (RAT) being used in a network to which the electronic device is connected is changed from a first RAT to a second RAT which is lower than the first RAT, based on determining that the RAT is changed to the second RAT, determine, using an artificial intelligence (AI) model, whether the electronic device enters a zone.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. An electronic device comprising: at least one processor including processing circuitry; and memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: determine whether a radio-access technology (RAT) being used in a network to which the electronic device is connected is changed from a first RAT to a second RAT which is lower than the first RAT, based on determining that the RAT is changed to the second RAT, determine, using an artificial intelligence (AI) model, whether the electronic device enters a zone, wherein the AI model is trained to determine whether the electronic device enters or leaves the zone causing a change of the RAT by using information related to a quality of the second RAT as an input to the AI model, and based on determining that the electronic device leaves the zone, perform a scan to change the RAT to the first RAT based on cell frequency information of the first RAT.
