In this article, a processor is configured to access a list of access points and select one of the access points on the list based on the current traffic state of an access terminal.
Abstract
The disclosure is directed to an access terminal, and method for selecting an access point for handing off the access terminal. The access terminal may include a processor. The processor may be configured to access a list access points and select one of the access points on the list based on the current traffic state of the access terminal.

Seamless handoff, offload, and load balancing in integrated wi-fi/small cell systems

TL;DR: In this article, a method of handing off between a cellular network and a Wi-Fi network is disclosed, in which a cellular base station of the cellular network is caused to collect information related to the cellular networks, while a wireless access point of the wireless network is co-located.
Patent

System and method for cell search and selection in a wireless communication system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system and methodologies that facilitate improved cell search and selection in a wireless communication system, where a terminal can utilize one or more Closed Subscriber Group (CSG)-specific offset and/or hysteresis parameters to increase the amount of time on which the terminal is allowed to camp on a desirable cell.
Patent

Systems, methods and apparatus to facilitate identification and acquisition of access points

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system, apparatus and methods for facilitating identification and/or acquisition of an access point (AP) by transmitting or receiving access point information (API) indicative of an identification of the AP.
Patent

Method and system to support single radio video call continuity during handover

TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for managing a plurality of network bearers in a wireless communication network is provided, which includes identifying at least one of an initiation or an update of an instance of an application session.
Patent

Using identifier mapping to resolve access point identifier ambiguity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to resolve ambiguities associated with access point identifiers by querying candidate target access points and/or by using historical records indicative of one or more access points that the access point has previously accessed.

Efficient handoffs between cellular and wireless local area networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a handoff between cellular and wireless local area networks (WLANs) is facilitated by effecting a same-PDSN, inter-PCF handoff wherein the communication session with the mobile terminal is effectively changed from between the PDSN and the proxy PCF to between a PCF associated with a base station controller facilitating the cellular access, and vice versa.
