Packet data connections in a wireless communication system using a wireless local area network

摘要: Connection control circuitry is provided for a User Equipment (UE) configurable to offload communication of packet data from cellular radio-access network comprising Trusted Wireless Local Access Network (TWLAN) and Gateway (TWAG) with IP Address preservation. The connection has requesting module configured send distinguishable-connection establishment message the TWAG, setup TWAG-routed at least one Packet Data (PDN) Non-Seamless Offload (NSWO) connection. A unique virtual gateway interface address used identify point -to-point link between UE TWAG. This allows TWAG distinguish multiple substantially simultaneous point-to-point links which support connections. Other embodiments may be described claimed.
