Abstract

Various methods for selecting a network access subscription are provided. One example method includes receiving a request to participate in a communications session, determining that at least two subscriptions for network access are available, determining tariffs for one or more connection types that are available through each subscription,5 determining cost factors for each connection type of the at least two subscriptions based on the tariffs, and selecting a target subscription and a target connection type for use in satisfying the request based on the cost factors. Similar and related example methods and example apparatuses are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] Example embodiments of the present invention relate generally to communications, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for selecting a network access subscription. Background technique [0002] The modern communication era has brought about a tremendous expansion of wireless networks. Various types of networking technologies have been developed, resulting in an unprecedented expansion of telephony and data networks, fueled by consumer demand. Wireless and mobile networking technologies have addressed related consumer demands while providing more flexibility and immediacy of information transfer. [0003] Mobility has proven to be an important catalyst for the widespread adoption of wireless devices. Although it has become common for different service providers to support a continuous connection as the device moves between service areas, different tariff or charging schemes may be utilized. For example, in the home service area, air minutes ...
