Abstract
Concepts and technologies described herein relate to WI-FI and cellular interworking for Internet of Things (“IoT”) devices. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a radio access technology selection system can generate a policy for network selection. The policy can include network selection criteria for network selection to be performed by a dual-mode IoT device. The radio access technology selection system also can provision the policy for the dual-mode IoT device. The dual-mode IoT device can utilize the policy to select one or more networks over which to communicate IoT data. The radio access technology selection system can be or can include an access network discovery and selection function (“ANDSF”). The ANDSF can utilize an ANDSF management object (“MO”) tree to implement an MO defined specifically for the network selection criteria for the IoT device.
