Abstract:
Mapping information of a bearer or quality of service can be communicated from a Wireless Local Area Network Termination (WT) to the enhanced Node B (eNB), which then uses radio resource control (RRC) signaling to communicate the mapping to the user equipment (UE). For example, three options can be used to communicate mapping information: (1) Operations and Management (OAM), (2) Semi-static Xw-AP signaling (e.g., WT Configuration Update or Xw Setup procedures) or (3) Dynamic Xw-AP procedures (e.g., WT Addition Request procedure). In some embodiments, the mapping can be signaled by (1) bearer to wireless local area networks (WLAN) access category (AC) mapping or (2) long term evolution (LTE) quality of service class identifier (QCI) to WLAN AC mapping.
