Abstract
Techniques for establishing and implementing operating system and application-based routing policies for multi-mode wireless communication devices such as a user equipment (UE) are generally described herein. In some examples, information particular to the profile and platform configuration of the UE is communicated to an Access Network Discovery Function (ANDSF) server. The ANDSF server may provide an inter-system routing policy (ISRP) to handle appropriate network offloading actions for the particular application and device configuration. In some examples, the ISRP may be specific to flow-based or non-seamless based traffic offloading from certain software applications. The techniques described herein may be propagated from the ANDSF server and implemented in a variety of multi-mode UE mobile computing devices in connection with offloading policies established in a 3GPP Long Term Evolution/Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE/LTE-A) Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network architecture.
