SIGNALLING INTERFACES IN COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method is disclosed, comprising supporting, in a communication apparatus (UE), a stand-alone operation mode for using, without a core network (EPC) involvement, bearer services provided by a local network (LTE-LAN). The method further comprises supporting, in the communication apparatus (UE), flexible single radio/dual radio modes for offloading resources of a macro network (LTE) in order to use bearer services provided by the macro network (LTE) either in the single radio mode or in the dual radio mode, wherein said offloading is controlled by an associated macro network apparatus (eNB).
