Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from load balancing. For example, wireless communication systems may benefit from controlled load balancing between access networks with various policies from different sources. A method can include selecting a rule to apply to a user equipment with respect to selection of radio access between cellular radio access and non-cellular radio access. The method can also include sending a traffic steering command to the user equipment, wherein the command contains an indication of the rule.
