Abstract
A method, apparatus, and user equipment for wireless communication using evolved data packet gateway (ePDG) communication. The method includes identifying one or more wireless access points and a received signal strength indication for each of the one or more wireless access points. The method also includes identifying which of the one or more wireless access points supports ePDG communication. The method also includes selecting a wireless access point of the one or more wireless access points based on the received signal strength indication and whether the wireless access point supports ePDG communication. The method also includes connecting to an ePDG server through the wireless access point.
