A device and method performs a handover. The method includes establishing a connection to a cellular network. The method includes determining whether a WiFi network is available for connection. The method includes determining performance data of the WiFi network based upon network metrics. The method includes determining a quality of service (QoS) parameter associated with a currently executed application, the QoS parameter being indicative of whether a handover from the cellular network to the WiFi network is permitted. The method includes performing the handover from the cellular network to the WiFi network when the performance data of the WiFi network satisfies a set of predetermined criteria for the network metrics and the QoS parameter indicates the handover is permitted.
