25. A system to facilitate handover, comprising:
-
a mobile unit configured to operate according to at least first radio technology and a second radio technology; and a fingerprint detector that evaluates input data relative to mobility fingerprint data that defines at least one predetermined roam, zone to determine whether to trigger a handover between the first and second radio technologies for the mobile unit. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A system to facilitate handover for a mobile unit, comprising:
-
means for storing fingerprint data that defines a mobility fingerprint for at least one predetermined roam zone; and means for evaluating whether to trigger a handoff for the mobile unit from a first radio technology to a second radio technology based on an evaluation of the stored fingerprint data relative to data corresponding to at least one wireless signal that is associated with the mobile unit. - View Dependent Claims (35)
