Abstract

In an LTE network, an MME processes network status information to transfer aggregated data to an ANDSF. The ANDSF processes a request from a wireless communication device that indicates device location and the aggregated data to generate an information response indicating a priority between the LTE network and a non-LTE network at the device location. The ANDSF transfers the information response for delivery to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device processes the information response to select between the LTE network and a non-LTE network at the device location.
