WLAN Interworking Scenarios

6 Interworking Scenarios Identified

Scenario 1 – Common billing and customer care This is the simplest scheme of 3GPP -WLAN interworking. The connection between the

WLAN and the 3GPP system is that there is a single customer relationship. The customer receives one bill and integrated customer care allows for a simplified service offering from both the operator and the subscriber’s perspective. The security level of the two systems may be independent.

This scenario does not pose any new requirements on 3GPP.

Scenario 2 – 3GPP system based access control and charging This is the scenario where authentication, authorization and accounting are provided by the

3GPP system. This may also provide means for the operator to charge access in a consistent manner over the two platforms.

No requirements are put upon the set of services to be offered in the WLAN part beyond those inherently offered by being addressable in an IP network

Scenario 3 – Access to 3GPP system PS based services The goal of this scenario is to allow the operator to extend 3GPP system Packet Switching

based services to the WLAN. These services may include, for example, IMS based services, location based services, instant messaging, presence based services.

a Service continuity between the 3GPP system part and the WLAN part is not required

TTT - May 12, 2003

WLAN Interworking Scenarios Continued

Scenario 4 – Service continuity The goal of this scenario is to allow the services supported in Scenario 3 to

survive a change of access between WLAN and 3GPP systems. The change of access may be noticeable to the user, but there will be no need for the user to re-establish the service. There may be a change in service quality as a consequence of the transition between systems due to the varying capabilities and characteristics of the access technologies and their associated networks. It is also possible that some services may not survive, as the continuing network may not support an equivalent service.

Scenario 5 – Seamless service provision a The goal of this scenario is to provide seamless service continuity, as defined

in between the access technologies, for the services supported in Scenario 3. By seamless service continuity is meant minimizing aspects such as data loss

and break time during the switch between access technologies.

Scenario 6 – Access to 3GPP CS services This scenario allows access to services provided by the entities of the 3GPP

Circuit Switched Core Network over WLAN. This scenario does not imply any circuit-switched type of characteristics to be included into WLAN.
