LWA ENHANCEMENTS FOR TRI-BAND (2.4 GHZ, 5 GHZ, AND 60 GHZ) WI-FI EQUIPMENT

摘要

Long Term Evolution (LTE)/Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Aggregation (LWA) techniques for tri-band Wi-Fi equipment are disclosed herein. An apparatus of an evolved NodeB (eNB) can include processing circuitry configured to decode a WLAN Band IE in an Xw-Application Protocol message from an AP via a WLAN termination (WT). The WLAN Band IE indicates combinations of communication bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 60 GHz) supported by the AP. An RRC message from a UE is decoded. The RRC message indicating combinations of the one or more communication bands supported by the UE. A reconfiguration message is encoded for transmission to the UE when the AP and the UE support at least a common one of the communication bands. The reconfiguration message configures the UE to associate with the AP and to receive eNB data concurrently from the eNB and from the AP using LWA.
