SELECTING A NETWORK ON THE BASIS OF REAL-TIME NETWORK CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

The invention relates to a terminal able to be connected simultaneously to a plurality of access networks, to a method for selecting an access network using the terminal, and to a device and a method for providing characteristic information of an access network. The selection method, implemented by the terminal according to the invention, comprises steps of: -- receiving a so-called information packet from a device for providing characteristic information of an access network, the terminal being connected to this access network; and -- depending on the characteristic information obtained from the information packet, at least one step from among: -- maintaining a connection to at least one access network to which the terminal is already connected; and -- connecting to at least one other so-called different technology access network.
