Abstract

So far, mobile terminals discover available access networks mainly by means of measurements at their physical interfaces. Information acquired by these measurements are often not sufficient to perform optimal access network selection decisions. Therefore, we present an approach, which uses world-model data to provide access selection algorithms with more information. Because this world-model information, originating from different sources, can be contradictory, we propose to use a reputation system to rate the quality of these different data sources.
