Abstract:
This document describes improvements in mobility management for user equipment (110) between a cellular network (202) and a WLAN network (206). A Cellular-WLAN Mobility Function (210) is introduced to manage routing of packet data over the cellular network (202) and the WLAN network (206) to the user equipment (110). The CWMF (210) enables the transfer of packet data context between the cellular network (202) and the WLAN network (206), improved handovers between the cellular network (202) and the WLAN network (206), Quality of Service (QoS) management of the WLAN network (206), and aggregation of cellular and WLAN bandwidths to improve data throughput for user equipment 110.
