SYSTEM SELECTION BASED ON APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS AND PREFERENCES
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- at least one processor configured to receive request for communication from at least one application, to select at least one radio technology based on at least one set of radio technologies for the at least one application, each set including one or more radio technologies usable by a respective application, and to activate the at least one radio technology to provide communication for the at least one application; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

Abstract
Techniques for performing system selection based on requirements and preferences of applications are described. A terminal maintains a policy table containing applications supported by the terminal, priorities of the applications, radio technologies that can be used for each application, and priorities of the radio technologies for each application. The terminal manages policies associated with the supported applications and radio technologies, determines the most suitable radio technology for each application, and activates and deactivates radio technologies in response to events, e.g., the terminal being turned on, a call being placed, the terminal leaving the coverage of a radio technology, etc.
