Abstract: A mobility management entity (MME) can enable overload control of data transmission via control plane in an evolved packet system (EPS), optimized for cellular internet of things (CIoT), by use of a control plane data backoff timer that suppresses the use of control plane for data transfer by a user equipment (UE) for the duration of the timer. For example, an MME sends a control plane data backoff timer to a UE that suppresses the use of control plane for data transfer for the duration of the timer. Alternatively, when an MME load reaches a threshold, an MME triggers an Overload Start message and sends it to the RAN node, so that the RAN node can restrict selecting this MME for UEs requiring data transfer using control plane CIoT optimization. The RAN node can reject these UEs and return a wait timer in an RRC Connection Release message.

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: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) for traffic offloading. For example, an ANDSF Management Object (MO) may include one or more ANDSF policies, at least one ANDSF policy including ANDSF selection criteria to offload traffic between a cellular network and a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN); and a preference indicator to indicate a preference between the ANDSF selection criteria and Radio Access Network (RAN) selection criteria from the cellular network.
