Abstract
A terminal device includes multiple interfaces having links to various networks. When a trigger event occurs, the terminal device selects a target link to a network to transition from its current link. A candidate link selection function determines candidate links that are filtered to remove links not meeting connectivity criteria. A target link selection function is then executed to select a target link from the filtered candidate links. Thus, the target link selection function is not run for every possible link, but only those meeting the criteria.
