Abstract
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of user equipment (UE) comprises circuitry to receive data transmissions as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets from a radio bearer via two or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs). One or more PDCP packets are offloaded from a first RAT to a second RAT. The apparatus comprises circuitry to aggregate the received data PDCP packets, and report a status of the PDCP packets to the radio bearer.

1-25. (canceled)
An apparatus of user equipment (UE) comprising circuitry to:
- receive data transmissions as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets from a radio bearer via two or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs), wherein one or more PDCP packets are offloaded from a first RAT to a second RAT;
- aggregate the received data PDCP packets;
- and
- report a status of the PDCP packets to the radio bearer.
An apparatus of an evolved Node B (eNB) comprising circuitry to:
- transmit data as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets for transmissions via two or more Radio Access Technologies (RATs), wherein one or more PDCP packets are offloaded from a first RAT to a second RAT;
- send a message to a receiver of the PDCP packets one or more parameters for PDCP reporting;
- and
- receive a status report of the PDCP packets from the receiver of the PDCP packets.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, if executed, cause a User Equipment (UE) to:
- receive data transmissions as packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) packets from an evolved Node B (eNB) via a wireless wide area network (WWAN) link or a wireless local area network (WLAN) link, wherein one or more PDCP packets are offloaded from the WWAN link to the WLAN link;
- aggregate the received data PDCP packets;
- and
- transmit a status of the PDCP packets to the eNB.
