But I guess there are nice heuristics like the slope of the error rate. Get many errors -> check more often. Add some device configurable minimum, to let the device make progress, and user configurable maximum, to check signal strength even of strong signals more often when you are sitting in a fast moving vehicle. Does this sound too simple?
