Abstract
An example method is provided in one example embodiment and may include provisioning a user equipment (UE) with a list comprising one or more locations at which the UE is to report its location; reporting a location of the UE when the location is identified in the list; provisioning the UE with one or more access network selection policy based on the reported location of the UE; and applying at least one access network selection policy at the UE based on the location of the UE. The list comprising the one or more locations can be sent to the UE from an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) server after the UE reports its location to the ANDSF server. The one or more access network selection policies can be permanent type and/or temporal type policies.
