Abstract:
Novel techniques of access network selection in multi-access network environment are provided, which allow for avoiding access selection loops for independent access selection processes. The multi-access network environment provides a first access selection function, e.g. a 3GPP access selection function, and a second access selection function, e.g. an ANDSF based access selection function. At least a portion of the first access selection function may be implemented by a network component. At least a portion of the second access selection function may be implemented by a user equipment, e.g. a mobile terminal. According to the proposed concepts, a selection priority information of the first access selection function is made available to the second access selection function.
