Abstract

Measurement procedures are provided for a communication device. For instance, a system that comprises determining a probability value, wherein the probability value indicates a likelihood of a communication device, connected to a first network node device, connecting to a second network node device with attempts below a first threshold. The system can also comprise determining a scanning period interval value based on the probability value, used by the communication device, to adjust a scanning procedure usable for establishment of a connection with the second network node device, and requesting the communication device to utilize the scanning period interval value during the establishment of the connection with the second network node device.
