Abstract

Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for facilitating smooth access network change. An example method for use in an access point or station may comprise receiving threshold values related to a particular parameter in a first access network and a second access network, respectively, causing measurement of a current value of the particular parameter in the first access network and the second access network, in an instance in which a condition exists where the thresholds are satisfied, determining if the condition is met for a predetermined amount of time, and in an instance in which the condition is met for the predetermined amount of time, determining if a previous access network change was outside a predefined time period, and in an instance in which the previous network change was outside the predefined time period, causing the access network change.
