Wireless networking technology selection on a computing device supporting multiple wireless technologies

摘要

Criteria-driven methods and a framework are disclosed that facilitate configuration/selection of one or more wireless network interfaces/networks for carrying out wireless communications on a computing device. The wireless network interface selection and coexistence driver architecture described herein facilitates automated selection of a particular mode of network access based upon status information provided by a set of network interface drivers associated with particular network interfaces and wireless technologies. Furthermore, a criteria-driven interface/network selection framework is described that is potentially invoked in a variety of situations including, but not limited to, when an application is invoked or to select another interface/network to avoid detected interference.
