For being able to switch radio interfaces you have to make sure what a platform can support. These are the following possibilities
1. only one radio at the same time. Browsing, instant messaging type of data connection can be supported. User is not necessarily impacted by switching the radio 2. only one data connection but multiple radios can be up at the same time. Radios can be switched with keeping a Voip connection alive but with a small interruption (break before make, which means that the Voip connection is interrupted for a short time) 3. multiple radios at the same time. With usage of protocols like SCTP and mobile IP connections can be seamlessly switched (make before break approach). Android right now allows only one radio at the same time. But it is possible to modify the platform to support 2. and 3. -- Roman Baumgaertner Sr. SW Engineer-OSDC ·T· · ·Mobile· stick together The views, opinions and statements in this email are those of the author solely in their individual capacity, and do not necessarily represent those of T-Mobile USA, Inc.
