Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems to reduce handover latency in an integrated wireless local area network (WLAN) and wireless cellular network. In embodiments, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with a packet data network (PDN) gateway (P-GW) via the WLAN and/or the wireless cellular network. Various embodiments may provide monitoring circuitry to monitor one or more PDN connections between the P-GW and the UE over the WLAN, determine that the UE should be in a radio resource control (RRC)-Connected mode based on the monitored one or more PDN connections, and transmit an inactivity timer reconfiguration (ITR) message to request suspension of an inactivity timer associated with the UE. The monitoring circuitry may be included in the P-GW, a WLAN gateway, the UE, and/or another component of the network. |
