Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for selecting an access network in a heterogeneous network environment. The method records user configuration information in a mobile device and applies the mobile device to first collect and record current status information of each access network, then determines a network stability coefficient for each access network based on both the user configuration information and the current status information, and finally selects an access network with a maximum network stability coefficient to thus establish a connection with the access network selected.
