    Abstract: One disclosure of the present specification provides a method by which a network entity, which controls a control plane, determines whether to offload traffic of a user equipment (UE) to a wireless local area network (WLAN). The method can comprise a step of acquiring subscriber information on the UE from a subscriber information server, wherein the subscriber information can include a WLAN offloadability indication for a specific packet data network (PDN) connection. The method can comprise the steps of: determining WLAN offloadability for the specific PDN connection on the basis of the WLAN offloadability indication and configuration information; transmitting the WLAN offloadability indication to network nodes according to the determination; and transmitting the WLAN offloadability indication to the UE according to the determination.

    Abstract: One disclosure of the present specification provides a method for performing a multimedia telephony (MMTEL) service in a machine type communication (MTC) device. The method can comprise the steps of: receiving, from an upper layer, an indication in which a mobile orienting (MO) MMTEL service is initiated; setting a special call type for the MMTEL service in a call type field within a request message for performing the MMTEL service; and transmitting the request message to a lower layer, wherein, when the request message is transmitted to the lower layer, if the MMTEL service is initiated, the MTC device does not transmit an extended access barring (EAB) application indication to the lower layer or can transmit, to the lower layer, an indication commanding the EAB to be skipped, even if the EAB is set.

    Abstract: A method of supporting a user equipment (UE) to UE (UE-to-UE) communication by a network in a wireless communication system, the method includes transmitting a system information block associated with the UE-to-UE communication, wherein the system information block contains a period parameter indicating a periodicity at which a relay UE transmits discovery announcement, wherein the system information block contains a high threshold value and a low threshold value, wherein the relay UE is not allowed to transmit the discovery announcement if a reference signal received power (RSRP) measured by the relay UE is above the high threshold value, and wherein the relay UE is not allowed to transmit the discovery announcement if the RSRP measured by the relay UE is below the low threshold value.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, a method and a device for selecting an access network are disclosed. A method by which a terminal selects an access network in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can comprise the steps of: determining whether a packet service can be performed through a wireless LAN (WLAN) in use when the packet service is set to select a WLAN access network as an access network of the terminal for the packet service according to a predetermined rule while the terminal is using the WLAN; and performing an access network selection operation including a WLAN selection or a WLAN reselection as a candidate on the basis of the result of the determination step.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for monitoring UE reachability in a wireless communication system. A method for monitoring UE reachability may include receiving, by a Mobility Management Entity, a monitoring request message for UE reachability including a maximum response time from a Home Subscriber Server, detecting, by the MME, the UE reachability if it is expected that paging is able to be transmitted to UE when extended Discontinuous Reception is applied to the UE, and sending, by the MME, a UE reachability notification to a Service Capability Exposure Function before a next paging occasion of the UE, wherein the maximum response time may indicate a time during which the UE maintains a reachable state so that downlink data is reliably delivered to the UE, and wherein an occasion when the UE reachability notification is transmitted may be determined by taking into consideration the maximum response time.
