Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for intelligent connectivity switching techniques. The techniques include, for example, determining that a wireless connection is encrypted, and in response to determining that the wireless connection is encrypted, employing one or more intelligent connectivity switching mechanisms to ensure a desirable level of user experience may be maintained and data stall conditions may be avoided or overcome. When a wireless station is in an area where two radio access technology (RAT) connections are present, the intelligent connectivity switching mechanisms can include responding to a user interface prompt, evaluating one or more signal-to-noise (SNR)-related metrics, or comparing an application, task or activity to a whitelist.
