Abstract

Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating smooth access network change. An example method for use in an access point or station may comprise receiving threshold values related to a particular parameter in a first access network and a second access network, respectively, causing measurement of a current value of the particular parameter in the first access network and the second access network, in an instance in which a condition exists where the thresholds are satisfied, determining if the condition is met for a predetermined amount of time, and in an instance in which the condition is met for the predetermined amount of time, determining if a previous access network change was outside a predefined time period, and in an instance in which the previous network change was outside the predefined time period, causing the access network change.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention generally relate to methods, apparatus and computer program products for facilitating access network changes. Background technique [0002] Wireless communications are becoming more prevalent with ever-increasing numbers of users and more and more mobile communication devices being put into use. Although cellular coverage is supplemented by wireless local area network (WLAN) deployments, frequent changes between access networks can result in data loss. Therefore, there is a need for a method that takes into account access network changes in order to maximize the utility provided by multiple network opportunities, while still preserving efficient transmission of data. Contents of the invention [0003] Accordingly, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention provide methods, apparatus and computer program products for facilitating access network changes. [0004] In some embodiments, a method may be provided...
