Description

Method and device for simultaneously connecting cellular network and WLAN

Technical field

本发明涉及通信技术，尤其涉及一种同时连接蜂窝网络和WLAN的方法及装置。The present invention relates to communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for simultaneously connecting a cellular network and a WLAN.

Background technique

随着移动互联网的发展，移动应用产生的业务量越来越多，这对蜂窝网络的容量提出了更高的要求。与此同时，无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network，简称WLAN)技术在迅速的发展，其传输速率越来越快，而且WLAN目前正在被大量部署。因此，很多运营商考虑使用WLAN分流移动数据业务，从而减少蜂窝网络的负荷，提升用户的体验。具体地说，基站根据蜂窝网络和WLAN的负载情况，将一部分业务通过蜂窝网络发送给用户设备(User Equipment，简称UE)，而将另一部分业务通过WLAN发送给UE。为了实现这个功能，UE需要保持与蜂窝网络和WLAN的同时连接，但现有技术中还没有能达到这种同时连接的技术方案。With the development of the mobile Internet, mobile applications generate more and more services, which puts higher demands on the capacity of cellular networks. At the same time, Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) technology is rapidly developing, its transmission rate is getting faster and faster, and WLAN is currently being deployed in large numbers. Therefore, many operators consider using WLAN to offload mobile data services, thereby reducing the load on the cellular network and improving the user experience. Specifically, the base station sends a part of the service to the user equipment (User Equipment, UE for short) through the cellular network according to the load of the cellular network and the WLAN, and sends another part of the service to the UE through the WLAN. In order to achieve this function, the UE needs to maintain a simultaneous connection with the cellular network and the WLAN, but there is no technical solution in the prior art that can achieve such simultaneous connection.
