NETWORK ADDRESS RESOLUTION FOR INTERWORKING BETWEEN CELLULAR NETWORK DOMAIN AND WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK DOMAIN

摘要

A user equipment (50) receives a management frame (202) from an access point (150) of a wireless local area network domain. The management frame (202) indicates an identity of the access point (50). The user equipment (50) sends a report (203, 204) indicating the identity of the access point (150) to a node (110) of a cellular network domain. Using the indicated identity and a network address database, the node (110) resolves a network address associated with the access point (150). The node then sends a request (211) to the resolved network address and, in response to the request (211), receives information on the access point (150).
