Abstract
A communication device and method for offloading communications from a first communication network to a second communication network. The offloading decision can be based on one or more utility values and/or one or more utility sum values. The utility values and/or utility sum values can be defined in a communication framework. The communication framework can be, for example, Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) framework. The offloading of communication can be from a Long-term Evolution (LTE) network to a wireless local area network (WLAN), or vice-versa. The communication framework can include, for example, utility, utility sum, positional, movement, signal quality, connection duration, data rate, and/or quality of service (QoS) parameters.
