  • receive a maximum probability of accessing a wireless local area network (WLAN) for communication, wherein the maximum probability is received via a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communication link with an Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) Node B (eNB);

    determine that there is a queued transmission for the UE;

    in response to determining that there is a queued transmission, determine whether the UE is authorized to access to the WLAN using a probability less than or equal to the maximum probability; and
