Abstract
A method for connection rehoming by a user equipment includes attaching to a first network attachment point (AP) and establishing a first connection to a first packet data network (PDN) interface, and moving from the first network AP to a second network AP. The method includes discovering a first cost associated with the first connection is high, and rehoming the first connection, thereby establishing a second connection coupling the UE to a second network AP and to a second PDN interface, wherein a second cost associated with the second connection is low.
