1. An apparatus for selecting an access network in a mobile station capable of receiving a service from a multi-wireless communication network, the apparatus comprising:

  • a physical layer for communicating with the multi-wireless communication network;

    an access network selector for storing information on an available access network detected using a predetermined detection algorithm, and generating and storing a mapping table corresponding to the stored information; and

    a higher layer for setting available menus based on the mapping table and informing the information on the available access network through a display unit,wherein the information includes a class of service field representing a type of a service, an available access network field representing the available access network and a Quality of Service field representing a service quality parameter provided from a particular available access network, and the predetermined detection algorithm represents a blind detection algorithm, a centralized detection algorithm and a broadcasting detection algorithm.
