Abstract
A communication control method for performing an offload from a cellular RAN to a wireless LAN, includes a step of performing, by a user terminal, a network selection operation to select an appropriate access network with which a traffic of the user terminal is exchanged, from the cellular RAN and the wireless LAN on the basis of determination parameters. The determination parameters comprises at least one of: a cellular network status that is a network status concerning the cellular RAN; a wireless LAN network status that is a network status concerning the wireless LAN; a cellular radio link status that is a radio link status between the cellular RAN and the user terminal; and a wireless LAN radio link status that is a radio link status between the wireless LAN and the user terminal.
