Abstract:
A wireless local area network, WLAN, node determines (1120) whether one or more wireless terminals have connected to the WLAN and reports (1130) to a node in a wide-area cellular network, such as a 3GPP network, whether one or more terminals have connected to the WLAN. This report may be triggered, for example, when a terminal has connected to the WLA, or by the completion of a connection procedure, successfully or unsuccessfully, by one or a predetermined number of wireless terminals. Conditional reporting can be used to reduce the amount of signaling between the WLAN AP and the 3GPP network.
