Method and apparatus for applying assistance information for traffic steering in wireless communication system
First Claim
1. A method for applying, by a user equipment (UE), assistance information for traffic steering between a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access network and a non-3GPP access network in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving first assistance information for traffic steering through a dedicated signaling from an eNodeB (eNB);
receiving second assistance information for traffic steering through a broadcast signaling from the eNB;
starting a timer upon entering an idle mode;
applying the first assistance information received through the dedicated signaling while the timer is running;
stopping the timer when a serving cell is changed or the UE establishes a radio resource control (RRC) connection; and
upon stopping the timer, releasing the first assistance information and applying the second assistance information received through the broadcast signaling.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for applying assistance information for traffic steering between a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access network and a non-3GPP access network in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives assistance information for traffic steering through a dedicated signaling from an eNodeB (eNB), and starts a timer upon entering an idle mode. The UE applies the assistance information received through the dedicated signaling until the timer expires. After the timer expires, the UE applies assistance information received through a broadcast signaling.

12. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
-
a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and a processor coupled to the RF unit, and configured to; receive first assistance information for traffic steering between a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) access network and a non-3GPP access network through a dedicated signaling from an eNodeB (eNB); receive second assistance information for traffic steering through a broadcast signaling from the eNB; start a timer upon entering an idle mode; apply the first assistance information received through the dedicated signaling while the timer is running; stop the timer when a serving cell is changed or the UE establishes a radio resource control (RRC) connection; and upon stopping the timer, release the first assistance information and apply the second assistance information received through the broadcast signaling.
