METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING SELECTION OF THE SOLUTION FOR WLAN AND UNLICENSED SPECTRUM USAGE

摘要

Embodiments of systems and methods relating to a cellular communications network and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) integration/aggregation are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a base station of a cellular communications network comprises obtaining one or more Allowed Wireless Local Area Network/Unlicensed Band Solution (AWUBS) indications from a core network of the cellular communications network. The one or more AWUBS indications are indicative of one or more AWUBSs allowed for a particular User Equipment (UE). The method further comprises using one of the one or more AWUBSs with respect to the UE. In this manner, the base station is enabled to obtain an indication(s) of the AWUBS(s) allowed for the UE and then use only an allowed AWUBS for that UE.
