Abstract:
As one aspect of mobility enhancement of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE)-wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation, inter-eNodeB (eNB) handover without WLAN termination (WT) change is considered. A source eNB transmits a handover request message including a WT identifier (ID) and WT XwAP ID to a target eNB. The target eNB transmits a WT addition request message including the WT XwAP ID to a WT, and receives a WT addition request acknowledge message from the WT. The target eNB transmits a handover request acknowledge message indicating that a WT is kept to the source eNB. The source eNB transmits a WT release request message indicating that the WT is kept to the WT. The WT is a logical node that terminates a Xw interface on a WLAN.
