First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, with a wireless device, of dynamically selecting a network for communicating data over, the method comprising:
- initiating a search for a new access network;
transmitting, in response to the initiating, a network information request to an information processing system;
receiving network information associated with at least one access network from the information processing system;
selecting the new access network based on the received network information; and
connecting to the new access network.

Abstract
A method, wireless device, and wireless communication system for dynamically selecting a network for communicating data over. The method includes initiating a search for a new access network (102). A network information request is transmitted to an information processing system in response to the determining (610). Network information associated with at least one access network is received (618) from the information processing system (120). The new access network (102) is selected based on the received network information. The new access network (102) is then connected to.
