Nowadays there are different types of available access networks which are used by end users to connect to the internet. Thus, the users must be provided with seamless network connectivity to stay connected while moving around from one place to another. This seamless network connectivity is achieved by connecting different types of networks which is called heterogeneous internetworking. By integrating different network technologies into one common heterogeneous network architecture, they can coexist and interoperate with each other and improve network performance in term of Quality of Service (QoS).
Dear Fawaz,
One method to access the available wireless networks are supplying the mobile devices with the capability to detect the different networks and display them for the users and the user can choose one from them. Most advanced mobile user equipment and laptops are supplied with this property. They detect the Wlans and they detect the the mobile service if it contains a valid simcard.
As a user you can choose among them.
As for the mobile devices there is a need for the hand off control between the wide area network and the wlan. This type of handover is called vertical handover and there are some protocols developed for it in the so called heterogeneous network.
Best wishes
