US 2017/0303330 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ESTABLISHING WI-FI SESSION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

A method and apparatus for establishing a session in a wireless communication system is provided. An entity of a primary radio access technology (RAT) system receives measurement results on the primary RAT system and a secondary RAT system from a multi-RAT device, determines a routing rule and a routing type for bearers which are appropriate for simultaneous transmission through the primary RAT system and the secondary RAT system, based on quality of service (QoS) and the measurement results, and transmits a routing control request message to a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW). The routing control request message includes identifiers (IDs) of the bearers which are appropriate for simultaneous transmission, the routing type for each bearer, and the routing rule for each bearer.

Claims12

Dependent claims

A method for operating for aggregation of a long-term evolution (LTE) network and a wireless local area network (WLAN), by a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting measurement results on the WLAN to an eNodeB (eNB) of the LTE network;
receiving a message including identities (IDs) of bearers which are determined, by the eNB based on the measurement results on the WLAN, to be transmitted simultaneously through the LTE network and the WLAN from the eNB;
and
accessing to the WLAN.
