Zusammenfassung:A node that includes means for wirelessly connecting to other devices in a wireless network using either a first radio configuration or a second radio configuration, which may be radio frequency bands, has means for determining a first measurement related to connecting to a device in the first radio configuration, and a second measurement related to connecting to the device in the second radio configuration; means for calculating a metric, for each device, wherein each metric is calculated by applying a first weighting greater than zero to the first measurement obtained for that device and a second weighting greater than zero to the second measurement obtained for that device. Selection circuitry selects one of the other devices in dependence on the metric calculated for each of the other devices. Measurements can include RSRP, SINR, Spectral Efficiency, Rank Index, channel quality, transmission speed and/or dominance values. Optionally, a third measurement relating to a third configuration, such as Wi-Fi, can be obtained. Measurements lacking timing or GPS information, can be disregarded.
