Abstract

A method for selecting radio access system in a multi access system handling packet data services where a terminal can communicate with at least two different types of access systems. According to the invention the method comprises the steps of:—determining (S23) packet characteristics of each packet to be transmitted;—selecting (S31) one of the available accesses for the transmission of each packet, the selection being based on the determined packet characteristic for this specific packet; and—transmitting (S37) the packet through the selected access.
