Abstract
An access point control node assists a wireless terminal to select an access node for a communication in a wireless communication network comprising a cellular network access node and a wireless local network access node. The access point control node communicates with the wireless terminal via one or both of the wireless local network access node and the cellular network access node, and establishes a state of a wireless local network unit in the wireless terminal. The access point control node also obtains at least one of a radio or load condition of each of the wireless local network access node and the cellular network access node, and determines which of the access nodes to use based on the established state of the wireless local network unit and the obtained conditions.
