1. A method for application-based radio access technology (RAT) switching performed at a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
the wireless communication device engaging in data communication for an application over a connection to a first RAT, wherein the first RAT is a wireless local area network (WLAN) RAT; the wireless communication device determining a threshold connection quality metric for the application, the threshold connection quality metric being defined for the application and being different from a second threshold connection quality metric defined for a second application; the wireless communication device measuring a connection quality metric of the connection to the first RAT based at least in part on the data communication over the connection to the first RAT; the wireless communication device comparing a measured connection quality metric to the threshold connection quality metric; and the wireless communication device, in an instance in which the measured connection quality metric does not satisfy the threshold connection quality metric:
switching from the first RAT to a second RAT wherein the second RAT is a cellular RAT; andengaging in data communication for the application over the second RAT. |
