Abstract:
A network device (e.g., an evolved Node B (eNB), user equipment (UE) or the like) can operate wireless local area network (WLAN) mobility between groups of WLAN access points (APs) in LTE/WLAN aggregation based on control by the eNB and further between WLAP APs within a particular group based on control by the UE. A long term evolution (LTE) link can communicate a first set of WLAN data related to a first set of WLAN access points (APs) that enables the UE to generate a WLAN mobility operation from a first WLAN AP to a second WLAN AP within the first set of WLAN APs based on a determination generated by the UE. The UE can be prompted by the eNB to also select another WLAN AP of the second set of WLAN APs coupled to a different WLAN Termination or logic node.
