NETWORK-CONTROLLED NETWORK SELECTION PROCEDURE

摘要

A radio network node (12) communicates with user equipments, UEs, (10) over a radio interface and estimates one or more quality factors, associated with each of a first and second network, that depend on a load or an expected UE behavior or an uplink channel quality for one or both of first and second networks. The node (12) determines one or more network selection parameters based on the estimated one or more quality factors, and communicates the one or more network selection parameters to at least one UE (10) for enabling the UE to select one of the first and second networks for subsequent access by the at least one UE. The UE receives from the radio network node one or more network selection parameters. The UE uses the one or more network selection parameters to select one of first and second radio networks and then accesses the selected radio network.
