Abstract: Uplink (UL) data splits between LTE and WLAN can be go supported in cellular networks. The split can be UE controlled or network controlled. Both UE and network controlled bearer split architectures can be supported. The reporting of Uplink Buffer Status (BSR) and the subsequent data allocation can depend on what option is supported by the network. For UE controlled UL data splits, the UE determines a traffic split ratio between LTE and WLAN. The split can be based on local link conditions. For network controlled UL data splits, the network (e.g. a Link Aggregation Scheduler at the eNB) is responsible for making bearer split decisions. The decisions can be based on link qualities, available traffic and quality of service (QoS) requirements of associated users. The split can be based on a per bearer threshold, an eNB configured ratio, or an implicit inference based on a UL grant.

Abstract: A data flow control method and communication device operable to communicate using a first radio access technology (RAT) and a second RAT are described. In a data flow control method, data flow congestion is detected. The congestion can be detected on a first communication link associated with the first RAT. The communication device can be controlled to enter a reduced power operating mode for communications via the first communication link. The entry of the reduced power mode can induce a base station supporting the second communication link associated with the second RAT to perform one or more data flow control operations. A data flow control method can include dropping data packets on a lower protocol layer to induce a higher protocol layer to perform a data flow control operation. The data flow control operation can induce the network to reduce data flow.
