A system and a method allowing a user terminal ( 18 ) in a network to simultaneously access a plurality of radio based access networks ( 19, 20 ) of diverse access technologies. Characteristic features of the invention are access selection adapters ( 22, 23 ), each one associated with a respective radio based access network, and an access technology independent access selector ( 26 ). An access adapter has means ( 32 ) for receiving access technology dependant information from its respective access network and means ( 31 ) for translating the information into access technology independent status information. The access selector comprises an access selection algorithm ( 33 ) interacting with applications ( 27 ) resident in the user terminal and with each access adapter for selection of a radio access network based on an individual QoS profile associated with each respective application and on said access technology independent status information. The invention also relates to a method for service scheduling.
