METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING TRAFFIC STEERING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), traffic steering from 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) to wireless local area network (WLAN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the UE, parameters for evaluating traffic steering from 3GPP to a specific WLAN;
attempting, by the UE, to acquire attributes which correspond to the parameters and are configured for evaluating traffic steering from 3GPP to the specific WLAN; and
if at least one of the attributes is not acquired for the specific WLAN, evaluating, by the UE, traffic steering from 3GPP to other WLAN excluding the specific WLAN.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for performing traffic steering from 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) to wireless local area network (WLAN) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives parameters for evaluating traffic steering from 3GPP to a specific WLAN, and attempts to acquire attributes which correspond to the parameters and are configured for evaluating traffic steering from 3GPP to the specific WLAN. If at least one of the attributes is not acquired for the specific WLAN, the UE evaluates traffic steering from 3GPP to other WLAN excluding the specific WLAN.

8. A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), traffic steering from 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) to wireless local area network (WLAN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by the UE, radio access network (RAN) assistance information including an indication indicating whether the RAN assistance information is allowed to be ignored or not; attempting, by the UE, to acquire attributes related to the RAN assistance information for evaluating traffic steering from 3GPP to WLAN; and determining whether to evaluate traffic steering from 3GPP to WLAN for the RAN assistance information based on the indication. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
