Abstract
A method includes generating a decision matrix for selection of a particular Non-3GPP InterWorking Function (N3IWF) server among a plurality of N3IWF servers, the decision matrix having multiple criteria including multiple N3IWF capabilities. The method also includes dynamically weighting at least one of the multiple criteria in the decision matrix, based on one or more adjustment factors. The method further includes applying a multi-attribute decision making technique to the decision matrix to select the particular N3IWF server, among the plurality of N3IWF servers, for a mobile device to connect to in a 5G network.
