Abstract

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method () is implemented by a base station () that supports a 3GPP RAN () and has an associated Wi-Fi RAN () that is either supported by the base station () or is supported by an access point () colocated with the base station (). The base station () receives a request from a UE (). If the request is for a current Wi-Fi service capability of the base station (), the base station () determines whether the Wi-Fi RAN has sufficient available resources to support QoS requirements of the UE (), and transmits a corresponding response to the UE (). If the response indicates that the Wi-Fi RAN () has sufficient available resources, the base station () also transmits Wi-Fi credentials to the UE () to enable the UE () to access the Wi-Fi RAN (). If sufficient available resources to support the QoS requirements are not available, Wi-Fi credentials are not sent to the UE ().
