+ There is no SDK method for WLAN scanning. Your
+application should use Connection Monitor Server API to request the list of
+available access points or network names (in the case of a WLAN these are
+SSIDs). Connection Monitor Server API also provides notifications about changes
+in the access point availability list. Handovers between GPRS and WCDMA
+radio networks take a long time (from 15 seconds to 2 minutes) and sometimes
+fail completely. You should use long application level timers (if any) and
+maintain a responsive UI. Note that handovers between GPRS and WCDMA cannot
+be controlled by the symbian platform (except with fixed settings). The control
+logic is in the cellular modem. In ALR, the transfer from one connection
+to another always introduces an IP address change and a break in data connection
+(even with make-before-break when the break is really short). This is because
+the sockets need to be closed and re-opened. This may be problematic for the
+applications that maintain a stateful connection with a server in the network.
+The workaround for a break is to open a new RConnection handle when receiving The following APIs are used to implement application-level
+roaming: Sockets Server Client
+API (ESOCK) is the API for all IP-based socket communication. It remains unchanged,
+but applications need to be ready to close and open sockets at certain times
+to roam for a better connection. Connection Management
+API (RConnection) is a collection of Symbian's connection management-related
+functionalities provided by ESOCK. It contains several extensions and one
+of them is the mobility extension. The term "mobility API" actually refers
+to the mobility extensions that are part of Connection Manager API and defined
+in header The mobility extension functionality of the Connection
+Manager API is provided by classes Methods
+that must be implemented by client (class MMobilityProtocolResp): virtual void PreferredCarrierAvailable(TAccessPointInfo
+aOldAP, TAccessPointInfo aNewAP, TBool aIsUpgrade, TBool aIsSeamless );
+This method is called by the middleware to notify a client about a new preferred
+connection. virtual void NewCarrierActive(TAccessPointInfo
+aNewAP, TBool aIsSeamless ); This method is called by the middleware to
+notify a client that a preferred connection has been activated. virtual void Error(TInt
+aError); This method is called by middleware to notify that there are
+no suitable connections available.

Methods provided by ESock (class CActiveCommsMobilityApiExt):
void MigrateToPreferredCarrier(); Client +can indicate that it wants to start using a new preferred connection as a +response to PreferredCarrierAvailable().
void IgnorePreferredCarrier(); Client +can indicate that it doesn’t want to use a new preferred connection as a response +to PreferredCarrierAvailable().
void NewCarrierAccepted(); Client +indicates that a new connection is working for it.
void NewCarrierRejected(); Client
+indicates that a new connection is not working and it wants to use another
+connection. In this case it receives
