A wireless communications system comprises wireless local area network (WLAN), WLAN controller coupled to the WLAN, a core network, a RADIUS based interface, and an interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF. The WLAN controller is configured to transmit, via the RADIUS based interface, to the AAA, a request to authenticate a user equipment (UE) currently accessing the core network, wherein the first message comprises an identifier identifying the UE. The PCRF is configured to transmit, via the interface between the WLAN controller and the PCRF, a policy associated with the UE, wherein the policy indicates a quality of service (QoS) subscribed for by a user of the UE in the core network. The WLAN controller is further configured to manage resources within the WLAN, based on the policy, to establish a session between the UE and the WLAN.
