Abstract
Methods and apparatus for out of service processing with varied behaviors. In an aspect, a method is provided for service acquisition. The method includes determining one or more conditions, wherein each condition is associated with at least one weight, detecting whether an out-of-service event has occurred, and if an out-of-service event is detected: identifying selected conditions and associated weights, and processing the associated weights to determine service acquisition “on” and “off” times. In an aspect, an apparatus includes condition logic configured to determine one or more conditions, wherein each condition is associated with at least one weight, and processing logic configured to detect whether an out-of-service event has occurred, and if an out-of-service event is detected, to identify selected conditions and associated weights, and process the associated weights to determine service acquisition “on” and “off” times.
