Abstract

Locally available location data is analyzed to identify a country or region of the world in which an electronic device (10) is most likely being used. From the identified country or region, the electronic device configures a band scan order for a prioritized full band scan of channels supported by the electronic device. As part of the configuration, the electronic device places the frequencies most likely to be used for radio access technology in the identified country or region at the beginning of the band scan order.
