Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems of User Equipment (UE) centric access network selection. For example, a cellular node may include a transmitter to transmit to a User Equipment (UE) a cellular communication message over a cellular communication medium, the message including a value of a predefined parameter, which is based on a cellular network load of a cellular network controlled by the cellular node.
Claims25
A cellular node comprising:
- a transmitter to transmit to a User Equipment (UE) a cellular communication message over a cellular communication medium, the message including UE-assistance information to assist in access network selection, the UE-assistance information including a value of a predefined parameter, which is based on a cellular network load of a cellular network controlled by said cellular node, the value of the predefined parameter is comparable to a non-cellular network load of at least one non-cellular network.
A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
- a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver;
- a cellular transceiver to receive from a cellular network a cellular communication message including a value of a WLAN load threshold parameter;
- and
- a controller to control access network selection of said UE based on a predefined selection criterion applied to the load threshold parameter and a WLAN load of a WLAN.
A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
- a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver;
- a cellular transceiver to receive from a cellular network a cellular communication message including a value of a predefined parameter, which is based on a cellular network load of said cellular network;
- and
- a controller to control access network selection of said UE with respect to a WLAN based on the value of said parameter.
A product including a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a machine, result in:
- communicating between a cellular node and a User Equipment (UE) at least one cellular communication message over a cellular communication medium, the message including a value of a predefined parameter, which is based on a cellular network load of a cellular network.
