Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of offloading traffic of a Secondary Cell Group (SCG). For example, some embodiments may include identifying a SCG bearer that is offloadable to the Internet via a Network Address Translation (NAT) gateway, based on offloading information received from a Master Evolved Node B (eNB) (MeNB); and offloading uplink Internet Protocol (IP) packets of the SCG bearer to the Internet via the NAT gateway, if the SCG bearer is indicated to be offloadable.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of providing offloadability information to a User Equipment (UE). For example, a core network (CN) may provide to the UE Packet Data Network (PDN) offloadability information corresponding to one or more PDN connections of the UE, the PDN offloadability information indicating which PDN connection of the one or more PDN connections is able to be offloaded to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN).

Abstract: Wireless communication devices may directly communicate within groups of wireless communication devices using Layer-2 communications to implement “push-to-talk” type applications. In one implementation, a method may include generating a floor request signaling message to take control of a communication channel for a group. After transmitting data relating to the communications, a floor release signaling message may be generated and transmitted a number of times.
