Techniques for switching user equipments (UEs) between wireless systems are disclosed. A UE may be located within the coverage of a plurality of wireless systems and may communicate with a first wireless system among the plurality of wireless systems. The plurality of wireless systems may include a WLAN system and a cellular system and/or may be part of a small cell. Metrics of the UE for the plurality of wireless systems may be determined. The metrics may be related to one or more of efficiency, service charge, service subscription, application type, or buffer size. Whether to switch the UE from the first wireless system to another wireless system may be determined based on the metrics. In one design, switching priorities of the UE for the plurality of wireless systems may be determined based on the metrics and may be used to determine whether to switch the UE. |
