Abstract

Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method, network node, and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium including one or more of the following: identifying, by an ANDSF server, a location associated with a UE in communication with the ANDSF server via an S14 session over a first access network; determining a plurality of access points for use by the UE to utilize at least one access network other than the first access network; calculating a first score for a first access point; calculating a second score for a second access point; generating a policy identifying the first access point associated with a first priority and the second access point associated with a second priority, wherein the first priority is set higher than the second priority based on a comparison of the first score to the second score; and transmitting the policy to the UE.
