Abstract:
The disclosure relates to wireless networks, and more specifically to multiple access networks. This present disclosure provides for a method in a wireless device, for predicting Quality of Service of a possible future connection between the wireless device and one or more wireless networks. The predicted Quality of Service may be used e.g. for making a handover decision. The disclosed method comprises detecting an access point of a first wireless network within range of the wireless device. The method further comprises determining the number of devices already being connected to the access point and calculating the predicted Quality of Service based on the determined number of devices already being connected to the access point. The disclosure further relates to a wireless device and to a computer program.
