ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for selecting a cellular network on a wireless local area network (WLAN). A network list may be used to identify a plurality of preferred WLANs and one or more cellular networks that may be accessed via the preferred WLANs. A cellular network may be selected by using the network list to identify the cellular network(s) that may be accessed via the preferred WLANs within coverage range of a mobile device. A WLAN may then be selected based on its access to a most-preferred of the available cellular networks.
