However, there is no way for the WLAN 104 to determine user / UE preference or even Reduced capability at UE 110 (e.g., lack of data access), and depending on load, UE 110's access attempt may be rejected

Embodiment Construction

[0055] In order to overcome the problems identified above with respect to current solutions for enabling UEs to initiate / connect with WLANs, methods and apparatus or network entities are described herein for efficient Determine whether to allow the UE to access the WLAN. The present invention provides the advantage of using existing mechanisms to take into account changes in UE status for the telecommunication network to more accurately determine which UE most needs access to the WLAN. as about Figures 1a to 1d The current methods described for integrating WLANs with telecommunication networks (eg Wi-Fi into 3GPP networks), do not provide good support for WLAN / network controlled Wi-Fi / 3GPP RAN access options. It is recognized that although more and more devices are capable of using WLAN, it is also important that WLAN determinations or other network node / entity determinations may not necessarily be able to receive equivalent UE for data services. Currently, there is no way...

Abstract

A network entity receives a WLAN access message from a UE. The WLAN access message includes an indication of the UE status with the telecommunication network. The network entity detects the indication of UE status and determines from the indication whether to allow the UE access to the WLAN. When the WLAN is integrated with the telecommunications network, the network entity sends a query to the telecommunication network (e.g. the RAN or core network part) for a decision based on the UE status with the telecommunication network. The indication may include data representative of RAN or core network accessibility information (e.g., limited service or no coverage), WLAN access only, a user preference for accessing the WLAN instead of the telecommunication network, and / or any other connectivity or preference information for use by the WLAN or network entity in determining whether to allow UE to access WLAN.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and arrangements for transmitting to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) an indication of the status of a User Equipment (UE) for a telecommunication network for use in determining whether to allow the UE access to the WLAN. Background technique [0002] Mobile operators are beginning to use wireless networks, such as wireless local area networks or Wi-Fi networks based on IEEE standard 802.11, to offload traffic from radio access networks (RAN) or mobile networks such as, for example, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), cdma2000, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), and Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-Advanced (eg, 2G / 3G / 4G and beyond). Most current Wi-Fi deployments are completely separate from the mobile network and are considered non-integrated. The use of Wi-Fi is mainly driven due to the free and wide unlicensed spectrum and the increased availability of Wi-Fi technology in UEs. Addi...
