APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF TUNNELING DATA RADIO BEARERS VIA A WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK LINK

摘要

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems of tunneling data radio bearers via a wireless local area network link. For example, an Evolved Node B (eNB) may communicate with a User Equipment (UE) traffic of a plurality of Data Radio Bearers (DRBs) via a cellular link; establish an offloading tunnel between the UE and the eNB to tunnel the DRBs via a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) link, the offloading tunnel including one or more User Datagram Protocol (UDP) tunneling connections configured to differentiate between the plurality of DRBs; and coordinate with the UE a handover of at least one DRB of the plurality of DRBs to the offloading tunnel.

主权项

1. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:
a radio to receive configuration information from an evolved Node B (eNB), the configuration information including an address of a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Access Point (AP), and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) information of a UDP server at said eNB; and a controller to establish one or more UDP tunneling connections between said UE and said eNB via said WLAN based on said configuration information, the one or more UDP tunneling connections being configured to differentiate between traffic of a plurality of Data Radio Bearers (DRBs).
