Abstract
Technologies are generally described for a network selection scheme for an electronic device. In some examples, a method performed under control of an electronic device may include searching one or more communication networks available for the electronic device; determining types of the searched communication networks; determining a type of data traffic to be transmitted over at least one of the searched communication networks; and determining at least one of the communication networks to be used for the data traffic based at least in part on the determined types of the communication networks and the determined type of the data traffic.
Claims23
A method performed under control of an electronic device, comprising:
- searching one or more communication networks available for the electronic device;
- determining types of the searched communication networks;
- determining a type of data traffic to be transmitted over at least one of the searched communication networks;
- and
- determining at least one of the communication networks to be used for the data traffic based at least in part on the determined types of the communication networks and the determined type of the data traffic.
A network selection system comprising:
- a network type determination unit configured to determine network types of one or more communication networks available for an electronic device;
- a traffic type determination unit configured to determine a traffic type of data traffic to be transmitted over at least one of the communication networks;
- and
- a network selection unit configured to select at least one of the communication networks to be used for the data traffic based at least in part on the network types determined by the network type determination unit and the traffic type determined by the traffic type determination unit.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a network selection system to perform operations, comprising:
- determining types of one or more communication networks available for an electronic device;
- determining a type of data traffic to be transmitted over at least one of the communication networks;
- and
- determining at least one of the communication networks to be used for the data traffic based at least in part on the determined types of the communication networks and the determined type of the data traffic.
