MAINTAINING A WIFI CONNECTION DURING HANDOVER OF A USER EQUIPMENT IN A LTE NETWORK

摘要

Technology for a multi-connectivity system to provide for a handover mechanism is disclosed. The WiFi connection between a UE and WT can be maintained when the UE is handed over between a source and target eNB. The mechanism can include providing an indication to maintain a Pair-wise Master Key (PMK) of the source eNB during handover. The UE and WT accordingly use a new PMK for use with WiFi communications associated with the target eNB, and the maintained PMK for use with WiFi communications that are associated with the source eNB before the handover.
