System and method for motion sensitive roaming in a mobile communication device

TLDR
In this paper, a method for selecting a mobile communication service such as an air interface and/or communication system can include selecting the communication service based on motion and location of the mobile device.
Abstract
A method for selecting a mobile communication service such as an air interface and/or communication system can include selecting the communication service based on motion and/or location. The selection of communication system can be made to optimize the user experience based on the type of service required and the environment the mobile station is in. Additionally, within an air interface, service can be chosen based on the type of call and the environment that mobile communication device is in.
