Abstract
A method for determining an optimal access network by an apparatus is described. The method may include communicating with a first base station as part of a first access network using a first radio access technology (RAT). Information about access networks available to the apparatus may be received from a mobile broker. An optimal access network and the corresponding optimal RAT may be selected based on the received information. The method may also include switching to communications with a second base station using a second RAT.
