Technology for a user equipment (UE) to perform long-term evolution (LTE) and Wireless local area network (WLAN) aggregation (LWA) connection procedures within a wireless communication network is disclosed. The UE can determine to suspend communication on a wireless local area network (WLAN) of one or more protocol data units (PDUs) for a LWA session without terminating the LWA session. The UE can process, for transmission to an eNodeB, a request to suspend communication of the one or more PDUs on the WLAN to enable the eNodeB to schedule the one or more PDUs for transmission to the UE through a cellular interface without terminating the LWA session.
