Abstract
A method and apparatus for selecting an access point (AP) for providing a service at a user equipment (UE). The example method may identify, by a user equipment (UE), a first AP available for communication. The example method may determine, by the UE, whether the first AP is suitable based, at least in part, on an indication for the first AP in an AP history table stored in a memory of the UE, wherein the indication is based on UE-determined metrics determined during one or more prior communications between the UE and the first AP. The example method may also include establishing communication between the UE and the first AP, in response to determining that the first AP is suitable.
