Abstract:
Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods of communication are disclosed herein. The eNB may receive, from an element manager (EM), control signaling that indicates a wireless local area network (WLAN) mobility set that comprises one or more access points (APs) that are controlled by a WLAN termination (WT) entity. The WLAN mobility set may be for a Long Term Evolution WLAN aggregation (LWA) in which the eNB 104 is to configure indirect communication between the eNB and a UE via at least one of the APs of the WLAN mobility set. The eNB may transfer, to the WT entity, a downlink protocol data unit (PDU) to be forwarded to one of the APs of the WLAN mobility set for transmission to the UE as part of the LWA. The downlink PDU may be received from an S-GW.
