Abstract
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided in which system selection and system determination algorithms maintained in a smart storage device are used by a modem of a mobile wireless terminal. The smart storage device may provide configuration data and algorithms to be used by the modem and functions ordinarily performed by the modem may be performed by a processor of the smart storage device. The functions may include system determination, system configuration and system selection functions. The smart storage device may receive network information from the modem for use in performing the functions. The smart storage device permits preferences and policies set by a home network operator to override preferences and policies set by an operator of a network to which the wireless terminal is currently connected.
