Abstract:
As one aspect of mobility enhancement of 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) long-term evolution (LTE)-wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation, inter-eNodeB (eNB) handover without WLAN termination (WT) change is considered. A source eNB transmits a handover request message including a WT identifier (ID) and WT XwAP ID to a target eNB. The target eNB transmits a WT addition request message including the WT XwAP ID to a WT, and receives a WT addition request acknowledge message from the WT. The target eNB transmits a handover request acknowledge message indicating that a WT is kept to the source eNB. The source eNB transmits a WT release request message indicating that the WT is kept to the WT. The WT is a logical node that terminates a Xw interface on a WLAN.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for performing an inter-base station handover by a source base station when a cellular network and a wireless local area network (WLAN) are aggregated, the inter-base station handover for a user equipment (UE) currently connected to both the source base station and a WLAN termination (WT) so that the UE is handed over to a target base station from the source base station without changing the WT, the method comprising:\n transmitting, to the target base station, a handover request message including a WT identifier (ID) and WT XwAP ID; receiving, from the target base station, a handover request acknowledge message informing that the WT is kept; and transmitting, to the WT, a WT release request message informing that the WT is kept, wherein the WT is a logical node that terminates a Xw interface on the WLAN, wherein the Xw interface is an interface established between the WT and the source base station, and between the WT and the target base station, wherein the WT ID identifies the WT, wherein the WT XwAP ID is allocated by the WT and uniquely identifies the UE over the Xw interface, wherein the handover request message further includes a mobility set of the WT, wherein the mobility set is a set of one or more WLAN access points (APs) identified by one or more of a BSS identifier (BSSID), a home equivalent SSID (HESSID) and an SSID.
