Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP5944517
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
In an embodiment, a UE transmits information regarding its local environment to a WWAN-based application server. The application server generates a list of WLAN APs that are in a vicinity of the UE based on the local environment information. The application server sends, to the UE, WLAN AP selection assistance information (SAI) that includes at least the list of WLAN APs and (ii) navigation information by which the UE can navigate to the listed WLAN APs. The UE receives the SAI and provides a user of the UE with directions to a selected WLAN AP based on the SAI. In another embodiment, a communication entity advertises a UE's connection to a WLAN AP along with information related to an estimated duration of the UE's connection. Another communication entity receives the connection advertisement and determines whether to transmit data to the UE based on the advertisement.
