  • Patent number: 9374768
    Abstract: Methodologies and apparatus to support interworking operations between a cellular radio area network (RAN) and a wireless local area network (WLAN) utilizing broadcast RAN assistance information. In various embodiments, a RAN (such as a LTE/LTE-advanced RAN) transmits RAN assistance information to a multimode user equipment (UE) for use in network selection and traffic steering operations. Certain parameters, such as RAN load assistance information, may be transmitted in a first format or a second, less granular format that changes relatively infrequently over time as compared to the first format. A system information broadcast procedure utilizing a paging message is employed to transmit information in the second format. The paging message may include a change notification flag that triggers a UE to initiate a system information acquisition procedure to a retrieve system information message(s) including the relevant interworking parameters.
