Abstract: A system and method for selecting a wireless network is disclosed. The method relates to selecting a wireless network from a plurality of wireless networks. A variation of the invention includes selecting a new platform from a plurality of platforms offered by the current service provider according to a service request from the wireless device. The method comprises determining a requested service associated with the wireless device, determining whether one of the plurality of wireless networks can provide the requested service, and, if one of the plurality of wireless networks can provide the requested service, choosing the one wireless network of the plurality of wireless networks. The method further involves using a variety of parameters in determining which wireless network to choose for servicing the requested service from the wireless device. These parameters include quality of services, application supported, or other business factors such as roaming agreements, traffic load and cost of services.

Abstract: The present application relates to a technique for more efficiently performing operations, administrative and maintenance (OA&M) on components in a mobility network. In one aspect, the need for a dedicated channel or resource to perform such operations on system components, is eliminated. For example, in the case of repeaters, the existing control channel is used for performing OA&M. Additionally, address information is put into the message on the control channel to uniquely communicate with desired system components.
