A Communication Device described, herein referred as the CD, incorporating a method and an apparatus for Seamless Session Transfer (SST) between a 3GPP Access Point (AP) and a Non-3GPP AP. The CD communicates with the 3GPP AP through the Uu air interface, then the 3GPP AP communicates with a 3GPP Core Network (CN) via a Node-B and a Radio Network Controller (RNC). The CD communicates with the Non-3GPP AP over the Iuh interface through a Non-3GPP wireless air interface, then the Non-3GPP AP communicates with the 3GPP CN via a Home Node-B Gateway (HNB-GW). An Access Manager Entity (AME) controls the SST between the 3GPP AP and the Non-3GPP AP. This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61/768,239 filed on 22-Feb-2013 which is incorporated herein by reference. |
