    Abstract: Techniques for selecting a radio interface for an application are describ ed. A terminal identifies locally-addressable and globally-addressable wirel ess networks among wireless networks available to the terminal. Radio interf aces supported by the terminal may be prioritized based on the locally-addre ssable and globally-addressable wireless networks, information obtained for the application, the application type, etc. Different applications may have different radio interface preferences or requirements, which may be consider ed in prioritizing the radio interfaces. A suitable radio interface may be s elected for the application based on the prioritized radio interfaces. WLAN interface may be selected for the application if (a) the WLAN interface is p referred and any WLAN is acceptable to the application or (b) a globally-add ressable WLAN is available. A WWAN interface may be selected for the applica tion if a globally-addressable WLAN is not available.

    Abstract: An access terminal scans for nearby access points and maintains a candida te list of access point with which the access terminal may associate in the event the access terminal's communication with its current access point dete riorates for some reason. This search procedure may be performed in a proact ive manner whereby the access terminal repeatedly performs scans and updates its list of candidate access points when it is powered on. In some aspects, the search procedure used by the access terminal may be based on a state of the wireless device. In addition, different states of the access terminal m ay be associated with different optimization criteria.

    Abstract: Techniques for performing system selection based on a usage model that uses "access strings", "profiles", and "activation strings" are described. Access strings are defined for wireless data services and provide a highly intuitive user interface. Each access string is associated with one or more profiles. Each profile includes various parameters needed to establish a specific data call. Each profile is further associated with an activation string that contains connection information for the data call. System selection is performed in two parts. In the first part, a wireless user views access strings for available data services, selects the access string for the desired data service, and returns the selected access string. In the second part, the wireless device selects a profile for a system most suited to provide the desired data service, from among all profiles associated with the selected access string.
