Abstract:
Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to facilitate selection of a WLAN through which a mobile node communicates. Selection takes into account the geographic positioning of the mobile node. The mobile node ascertains its geographic positioning by monitoring cellular-positioning signals. And, availability of WLANs through which to communicate is ascertained by detecting signals broadcast by the WLANs.

Claim (Index 16):
A user equipment (UE) comprising:\n at least one processor; and a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the at least one processor to:\n detect a first country code from a first wireless network that operates in a first band; \n maintain a network list of second wireless networks at the UE, the network list identifying the second wireless networks and a respective associated geographic area of operation of at least one respective second wireless network of the second wireless networks, wherein the second wireless networks operate according to a technology different from a technology of the first wireless network \n detect second-wireless-network-identifying information of at least one second wireless network; and \n select a second wireless network from among the second wireless networks identified by the network list with which to communicate, the selecting based on the first country code, the network list of second wireless networks and the respective associated geographic area of operation of at least the respective second wireless network, and the second-wireless-network-identifying information.
