Abstract: An anchor node receives a packet, duplicates the packet to form two copies, flags each of two data units, each comprising one of the copies, with a duplication flag indicating the corresponding data unit comprises a copy. The anchor node sends one of the two data units through protocol layers towards transmission to a UE, and sends another of the two data units over a network interface and towards one or more duplicating nodes. A duplicating node receives in the data unit a copy of the packet. The duplicating node forwards the data unit with the packet to a first of multiple protocol layers toward transmission via an air interface toward the UE. The duplicating node discards, in the first protocol layer or in a layer lower than the first, the packet in response to receiving an ACK that a copy of the packet was successfully received by the UE.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from communication between two different radio access technologies. For example, a long term evolution network may benefit from receiving resource availability information from a wireless local area network. A method includes receiving a request from a first RAT at a network node in a second RAT, and at least partially rejecting or at least partially accepting the request. The method also includes sending an indication of the at least partial rejection or at least partial acceptance to the first radio access technology, where the indication is used in determining whether to activate or continue radio access aggregation.
