Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for access network discovery and selection are disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for access network discovery and selection includes an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF) network element for identifying to a user equipment (UE) an access network through which the UE can connect to a core network, the ANDSF including an interface for communicating with nodes in a core network. The ANDSF is configured to receive information from a node in the core network and perform an access network discovery or selection operation based at least in part on the received information.
