METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING WLAN BEARER

摘要

A method for controlling a wireless local area network (WLAN) bearer is provided. The method includes a base station receives information including at least one of WLAN information of a WLAN node, WLAN aggregation response information, WLAN aggregation update response information, WLAN aggregation update information and a WLAN capability of UE. According to the received information, the base station instructs the UE to perform traffic steering between an E-UTRAN and the WLAN, or instructs the UE to perform control processing for the EUTRAN and WLAN aggregation. By using the present disclosure, efficiency of WLAN bearer control is improved.
