Abstract: A method and apparatus may include determining, by a network node, that a slave radio-resource-control function is to be initiated. The slave radio-resource-control function may be performed by an access point. The method may also include transmitting a message to the access point. The message includes at least one of a request to initiate the slave radio-resource-control function and a confirmation that the slave radio-resource-control function can be initiated.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may include receiving, by a user equipment from a first access point which supports a first radio access technology, a radio-resource-control (RRC) reconfiguration message including an RRC configuration information of a second access point, after an initiation of a slave RRC at the second access point has been determined. The second access point supports a second radio access technology, and performing, by the user equipment, a random access procedure with the second access point based on the RRC reconfiguration message. The user equipment is configured to have an RRC connection with the first access point and the first access point is a master node.

Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing interface functionality for RAN-WLAN radio aggregation, i.e. radio level integration/aggregation between a cellular radio access network and a wireless area network. Such measures exemplarily comprise user-plane data forwarding from a cellular radio access network over a wireless local area network to a terminal, both the cellular radio access network and the wireless local area network providing radio level connectivity for the terminal, wherein in the user-plane data forwarding user-plane data packets according to a cellular data convergence protocol are transported, at least partly, using a reliable transport protocol over the wireless local area network to the terminal, providing feedback on performance of user-plane data packets transport using the reliable transport protocol, at least partly, from the wireless local area network to the cellular radio access network, and executing flow control on the basis of the performance feedback.
