Abstract: Generally discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, and techniques that can offload UE traffic to a WLAN. According to an example a base station can include a transceiver configured to (1) transmit, to a UE, a first control packet to move U-Plane traffic of the UE to a WLAN or (2) receive, from the UE, a second control packet acknowledging that the U-Plane traffic of the UE is to be moved to the WLAN, or (3) transmit Control Plane (C-Plane) traffic to the UE while no U-Plane traffic of the UE is being transmitted to the UE by the transceiver. The base station can include circuitry to route U-Plane traffic of the UE to the WLAN in response to the transceiver receiving the second control packet.

Abstract: Technology for switching from a wireless local area network (WLAN) to a wireless wide area network (WWAN) is disclosed. A multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) user equipment (UE) can receive WLAN-specific dedicated physical random access channel (PRACH) allocation information from an evolved node B (eNB) to enable the multi-RAT UE to perform an inter-RAT WLAN-to-WWAN handover. The multi-RAT UE can initiate the inter-RAT WLAN-to-WWAN handover at the multi-RAT UE by performing random access with the eNB using the WLAN-specific dedicated PRACH allocation information.

Abstract: Embodiments of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) to support Mission-Critical Machine Type Communication (MC-MTC) User Equipments (UEs) are disclosed herein. During a transmission notification (TN) monitoring period, the eNB may monitor for TN signals from MC-MTC UEs. When a presence of TN signals is detected, the eNB may refrain from allocation of dedicated MC-MTC traffic resources to other UEs for transmission during a traffic period. In response to a detection of an absence of TN signals from the first group of MC-MTC UEs during the TN monitoring period, the eNB may allocate the dedicated MC-MTC traffic resources to the other UEs for transmission during the traffic period. Starting times of the traffic period and the TN monitoring period may be spaced apart by a predetermined time difference. In some embodiments, the predetermined time difference for MC-MTC UEs may be not greater than 10 milliseconds.

Abstract: Embodiments of a multi-radio controller and methods for preventing interference between co-located transceivers are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the multi-radio controller operates within a multi-radio device and is configured to cause a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver to transmit a triggering frame after an active period of a wireless wide-area network (WWAN) transceiver. The triggering frame indicates the duration of a transmission opportunity, which may be restricted to the time between active periods of the WWAN. In response to receipt of the triggering frame, the WLAN access point is configured to transmit a downlink data frame within the transmission opportunity.

Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and methods of selecting a mobility mode of a User Equipment (UE). For example, a UE may include a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) transceiver; a cellular transceiver to communicate with a cellular node; an Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) client module to communicate with an ANDSF server; and a controller to select a WLAN mobility mode from a cellular/WLAN aggregation mode and an ANDSF mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods for bearer splitting among multiple radio links are disclosed herein. User equipment (UE) may be communicatively coupled to an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB) by multiple radio links (e.g., an LTE link and a WLAN link). A transmitter may dynamically determine a splitting policy for how to split traffic among each link (e.g., what proportion to send over each link). In some embodiments, the transmitter may determine the splitting policy explicitly based on lower layer metrics. Alternatively, or in addition, each radio access interface may request data when a transmission opportunity becomes available, and the splitting policy may be determined implicitly from the data requests. For a UE, the splitting policy may be determined with network assistance, which may include a resource allocation for an LTE link, a probability of successful transmission over a WLAN link, and/or the like.
