HOTSPOT EVOLUTION SUPPORT AND DISCOVERY THROUGH NON-3GPP ACCESS NETWORKS
摘要
<p>Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to assist a user equipment (UE) in accessing a wireless local area network (WLAN). A first UE may obtain information from one or more WLANs. The information may include, for example, an access network query protocol (ANQP) element associated with a WLAN. The first UE may send the information to an access network discovery and selection function (ANDSF). The ANDSF may update an ANDSF management object (MO) based on the received information. The ANDSF may receive information from a plurality of UEs relating to one or more WLANs. The ANDSF may send the updated ANDSF MO to at least one of a second UE or an access point. The updated ANDSF MO may comprise information about WLAN networks available to the second UE. The second UE may forego an ANQP query of a WLAN when the updated ANDSF MO includes information about the WLAN.</p>
