A method, in a mobile device, comprising: detecting poor link quality, while associated with a first radio access technology network access point; characterized in that it further comprises: searching an access point database, in the mobile device, to determine corresponding cells of a second radio access technology network that are available for handover, wherein said access point database contains entries associating access points of said first radio access technology network with cells of said second radio access technology network; if there are available cells from said second radio access technology network, wherein said available cells are cells associated with said access point in said access point database entries, selecting a target cell from said available cells; sending a request message over said access point, and said first radio access technology network, to said second radio access technology network requesting system information for said target cell; and receiving said system information for said target cell from said second radio access technology network over said access point and using said system information to initiate communication with said target cell. detecting poor link quality, while associated with a first radio access technology network access point; characterized in that it further comprises: searching an access point database, in the mobile device, to determine corresponding cells of a second radio access technology network that are available for handover, wherein said access point database contains entries associating access points of said first radio access technology network with cells of said second radio access technology network; if there are available cells from said second radio access technology network, wherein said available cells are cells associated with said access point in said access point database entries, selecting a target cell from said available cells; sending a request message over said access point, and said first radio access technology network, to said second radio access technology network requesting system information for said target cell; and receiving said system information for said target cell from said second radio access technology network over said access point and using said system information to initiate communication with said target cell. searching an access point database, in the mobile device, to determine corresponding cells of a second radio access technology network that are available for handover, wherein said access point database contains entries associating access points of said first radio access technology network with cells of said second radio access technology network; if there are available cells from said second radio access technology network, wherein said available cells are cells associated with said access point in said access point database entries, selecting a target cell from said available cells; sending a request message over said access point, and said first radio access technology network, to said second radio access technology network requesting system information for said target cell; and receiving said system information for said target cell from said second radio access technology network over said access point and using said system information to initiate communication with said target cell.
