說明書
In step S702, the E-UTRAN 10 transmits, to the UE 100, setting information for starting the cellular/WLAN aggregation, in response to the notification from the UE 100.
In step S703, the UE 100 starts the cellular/WLAN aggregation, on the basis of the setting information from the E-UTRAN 10.
[Other Embodiments]
In each of the above-described embodiments, an example is described in which the cellular/WLAN aggregation is a technology by which traffic belonging to the identical data bearer is transmitted and received by using both the cellular communication and the WLAN communication. However, the cellular/WLAN aggregation may be the one by which traffic belonging to different data bearers is transmitted and received by using both the cellular communication and the WLAN communication. For example, a bearer 1 and a bearer 2 may be transmitted and received by the cellular communication (LTE communication) while a bearer 3 and a bearer 4 may be transmitted and received by the WLAN communication.
In each of the above-described embodiments, in the cellular/WLAN aggregation, an example of dividing/reconfiguring, in the RLC layer, traffic belonging to the identical data bearer, is described. However, in the cellular/WLAN aggregation, traffic belonging to the identical data bearer may be divided/coupled in the MAC layer.
