Abstract
A communication control method is a method for performing offload to transfer a traffic load of a cellular base station to an access point. The communication control method comprises a step of maintaining without releasing the first connection, by a user terminal that have established a first connection with the cellular base station, even when the offload is started after establishing a second connection with the access point; and a determining step of determining, by the user terminal, whether the offload is continued or canceled after the offload is started.
Claims18
A communication control method for performing offload to transfer a traffic load of a cellular base station to an access point, comprising:
- a step of maintaining without releasing the first connection, by a user terminal that have established a first connection with the cellular base station, even when the offload is started after establishing a second connection with the access point;
- and
- a determining step of determining, by the user terminal, whether the offload is continued or canceled after the offload is started.
16-43. (canceled)
A user terminal comprising:
- a controller configured to establish a second connection with an access point which is included in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and start offload to transfer a traffic of a mobile communication network to the WLAN, when the user terminal has established the first connection with a base station which is included in the mobile communication network, wherein
- the controller maintains the first connection even after the offload is started, and
- the controller determines whether to continue the offload or not.
A processor for controlling a user terminal comprising:
- a step of establishing a second connection with an access point which is included in a wireless local area network (WLAN) and starting offload to transfer a traffic of a mobile communication network to the WLAN, when the user terminal has established the first connection with a base station which is included in the mobile communication network;
- a step of maintaining the first connection even after the offload is started, and
- a step of determining whether to continue the offload or not.
