Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for avoiding short-lived wireless connections. In one method, a first connection with a first access point may be used for data transmissions. A motion state of a mobile device may be determined based on sensor data from at least one sensor within the mobile device. A second access point may be identified. A determination may be made to use the second access point for data transmissions based at least in part on the motion state of the mobile device.
