Network selection scheme using a roaming broker (RB)

摘要

A network selection scheme operable in a network environment (200) having one or more radio access networks (RANs 208-1 to 208-3), one or more core networks (CNs 210-1 to 210-3), and one or more service networks (SNs 212-1 to 212-3). Upon obtaining identity information of a particular network combination, a wireless user equipment (UE) device (102) is operable to register with a roaming broker (RB) (218), whereby additional information may be provided to the device (102) for facilitating appropriate network selection.
