Discussed generally herein are enhanced Node Bs (eNodeBs) and User Equipment (UE) arranged for offloading UE traffic from a communications node and techniques for the same. An eNodeB can include processing circuitry arranged to obtain traffic load information of one or more WiFi access points within a coverage area of the eNodeB and produce corresponding offload guidance information, the traffic load information includes information about user equipment (UE) traffic flows on the one or more WiFi access points. The eNodeB can include a transceiver arranged to transmit the offload guidance information to one or more UEs and arranged to receive a request from at least one of the UEs to move at least some of the UE traffic flows to one of the WiFi access points.
