Abstract:

A method for traffic steering. The method comprises determining a first signal characteristic of a first connection between an electronic device and a first wireless communications network; determining a second signal characteristic of a second connection between the electronic device and a second wireless communications network; and based on the first signal characteristic and the second signal characteristic, preventing the electronic device from attempting to establish the second connection until one or more establishment criteria are met.
