1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a wireless receiver to receive, in a radio transmission of an evolved NodeB (eNB) of a long term evolution (LTE) network, a message that includes a system information block (SIB) that includes access network information related to a wireless local area network (WLAN), wherein the access network information includes a service set identifier (SSID) of an access point (AP) of the WLAN or a basic SSID (BSSID) of the AP, the access network information includes security information related to a secure connection of the WLAN; and
a controller coupled with the wireless receiver, the controller to identify, based on the message, that the UE is to connect to the WLAN AP.

Abstract
Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods of communicating non-cellular access network information via a cellular network. For example, an Evolved Node B (eNB) may include a radio to transmit a control message over a cellular communication medium, the control message including access network information of at least one non-cellular network within a coverage area of the eNB.
