The widespread deployment of Wi-Fi hotspots and wide area cellular networks opens up the exciting possibility of interoperability between these types of networks. Interoperability allows a mobile device to dynamically use the multiple network interfaces available to it so as to maximize user satisfaction and system performance. This paper defines three basic user profiles for the network users and demonstrates through simulation studies that dynamic switching on the basis of the user profiles of the mobile devices leads to higher network performance and increased user satisfaction. It also demonstrates how load balancing can improve network performance in an inter-operable network.
