Abstract:
A method for facilitating dynamic service-based network selection and determination may be implemented by a communications device. A device may choose a network and/or network access provider (NAP) based on a type of service desired by a user. For the service, the system may determine which NAP provides the most desired service level for a particular network service provider (NSP). The desired service level may include such factors as power consumption, communication performance, past performance, cost, reward availability, etc. Thus, a user chooses a particular service and the system chooses the network that will provide the service at a desired level to the user.
