Abstract: Controlling communication handovers of a client computing device among a plurality of wireless networks providing access to a service network includes monitoring, by the client computing device, corresponding program usage information relating to the access to the service network of one or more software programs installed on the client computing device. The client computing device determines criticality indicators of the one or more software programs according to the corresponding program usage information and detects one or more wireless networks available for a current handover from a current wireless network to which the client computing device is currently connected. The client computing device controls the current handover from the current wireless network to a selected wireless network from the plurality of available wireless networks according to the criticality indicators of the one or more software programs currently running on the client computing device.
