Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are disclosed to provide offloading procedures that reduce signaling load. Specifically, embodiments of the present disclosure provide offloading techniques that enable signaling overhead caused by attachment procedures to be avoided when user equipment (UE) reconnects to a cellular network after offloading data to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). According to an embodiment, at least one Public Data Network (PDN) is kept connected through the cellular network access when other PDN connections are offloaded to WLAN. According to another embodiment, a PDN connection through cellular network access is suspended, rather than detached, when data is offloaded to WLAN.
