A method to be executed in a wireless system, comprising: receiving, at a first Access Point, AP, of a first Radio Access Technology, RAT, type part of a first wireless network, a location of a User Equipment, UE, that is currently connected to the first network; receiving, at the first AP from the UE, network coverage characteristics for the UE that identify: a first signal strength metric of the first network for the UE; an identity of a second AP part of a second wireless network, to which the UE is not connected, wherein the second AP is a second RAT type different than the first RAT type; and a second signal strength metric of the second network for the UE; determining by the first Access Point, AP, a first qualitative level of service of the first network for the UE based on the location, the first signal strength metric, and the first RAT type; determining by the first Access Point, AP, a second qualitative level of service of the second network for the UE based on the location, the second signal strength metric, and the second RAT type; and in response to a difference between the first qualitative level of service and the second qualitative level of service satisfying a threshold, transmitting by the first Access Point, AP, a handoff recommendation to the UE to disconnect from the first network and connect to the second network, wherein the first qualitative level of service indicates a lower quality of service than the second qualitative level of service despite the first signal strength metric indicating a higher quality of service than the second signal strength metric based on differences between the first RAT type and the second RAT type. receiving, at a first Access Point, AP, of a first Radio Access Technology, RAT, type part of a first wireless network, a location of a User Equipment, UE, that is currently connected to the first network; receiving, at the first AP from the UE, network coverage characteristics for the UE that identify: a first signal strength metric of the first network for the UE; an identity of a second AP part of a second wireless network, to which the UE is not connected, wherein the second AP is a second RAT type different than the first RAT type; and a second signal strength metric of the second network for the UE; a first signal strength metric of the first network for the UE; an identity of a second AP part of a second wireless network, to which the UE is not connected, wherein the second AP is a second RAT type different than the first RAT type; and a second signal strength metric of the second network for the UE; an identity of a second AP part of a second wireless network, to which the UE is not connected, wherein the second AP is a second RAT type different than the first RAT type; and a second signal strength metric of the second network for the UE; determining by the first Access Point, AP, a first qualitative level of service of the first network for the UE based on the location, the first signal strength metric, and the first RAT type; determining by the first Access Point, AP, a second qualitative level of service of the second network for the UE based on the location, the second signal strength metric, and the second RAT type; and in response to a difference between the first qualitative level of service and the second qualitative level of service satisfying a threshold, transmitting by the first Access Point, AP, a handoff recommendation to the UE to disconnect from the first network and connect to the second network, wherein the first qualitative level of service indicates a lower quality of service than the second qualitative level of service despite the first signal strength metric indicating a higher quality of service than the second signal strength metric based on differences between the first RAT type and the second RAT type.
