1. A method performed by a mobile device comprising:
- receiving a plurality of measurements corresponding to operation of a first radio interface;
normalizing each of the plurality of measurements to produce a plurality of normalized measurements;
weighting each of the plurality of normalized measurements to produce a plurality of weighted normalized measurements;
summing the plurality of weighted normalized measurements to form a composite quality measure for the first radio interface;
receiving a second plurality of measurements corresponding to operation of a second radio interface;
normalizing each of the second plurality of measurements to produce a second plurality of normalized measurements;
weighting each of the second plurality of normalized measurements to produce a second plurality of weighted normalized measurements; and
summing the second plurality of weighted normalized measurements to form a composite quality measure for the second radio interface.

Abstract
A composite quality measure helps determine a target for a vertical handover between different connection types. Various measurements are normalized, weighted and summed to produce composite quality measures. A composite quality measure may be compared to a target value and the corresponding connection may be added to a feasibility table if the composite quality measure is above the target.
