AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

But the relative cost difference between cellular and WLAN communications is not taken into account in current systems
Also, in some cases, users may incur costs due to data transfer over WLAN
But in the prior art, users are not provided with information about such costs when making offloading decisions

Abstract

A user equipment (UE) may receive charging data and use the charging data in determinations of whether to offload data from a mobile communication network, such as a 3GPP cellular network, to another wireless access network, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN). For example, the UE may receive, from the mobile communication network, charging data regarding one or more WLANs in the vicinity of the UE. The UE may also receive rules regarding whether to offload communication traffic from the cellular communication network to a particular WLAN based on charging data relating to the particular WLAN. The UE may detect one of the WLANs and determine whether to offload communication traffic to the WLAN based at least in part on the received rules and the received charging data regarding the WLAN. The determination may be further based on user preferences saved on the UE regarding the charging data.

Description

[0001] priority information [0002] This application claims the serial number of U.S. Provisional Patent Application entitled "Charging Information for WLAN Network Selection in 3GPP-WLAN Data Offloading," filed April 28, 2014 Priority of No. 61 / 984,969. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to wireless devices, and more particularly to a system and method for selectively offloading cellular data traffic onto a wireless WLAN based at least in part on charging information. Background technique [0004] The use of wireless communication systems is growing rapidly. Additionally, many different wireless communication technologies and standards exist. Some examples of wireless communication standards include cellular communication technologies such as GSM, UMTS (WCDMA), 3GPP2 CDMA2000 (eg, IxRTT, IxEV-DO, HRPD, eHRPD), LTE, and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A). Another wireless communication technology is called a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), such as IEEE 802.11 (...
