The control signals transmitted and received by the third entity 430A, B are control signals of the RLC layer (for example, ACK/NACK). Alternatively, the control signals transmitted and received by the third entity 430A, B may be control signals of the PDCP layer. Alternatively, the control signals transmitted and received by the third entity 430A, B may be a control signals of the RRC layer.
[Sixth Embodiment]
Next, a sixth embodiment will be described. A system configuration, a basic operation of a UE-initiated switching control, a basic operation of cellular/WLAN aggregation, and an operation environment according to the sixth embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment.
Hereinafter, an operation according to the sixth embodiment will be described while focusing on the differences from the operations according to the first to fifth embodiments.
As described above, the cellular/WLAN aggregation is a technology aiming to enable the dynamic cellular/WLAN radio interworking. Therefore, it is preferable to establish a method of deciding a ratio of cellular/WLAN resource allocation in the cellular/WLAN aggregation.
