In the present embodiment, eNB is when performing step 701, and mark of the termination point of a tunnel that eNB is distributed with user equipment in LTE RAN is corresponding, therefore can obtain the incidence relation of mark and tunnel of the user equipment in LTE RAN.
Further, before step 701, this method can also include：To user equipment send configuration information, configuration information is measured for instruction user equipment to the WLAN where itself；The measurement result that user equipment is sent is received, and progress multithread polymerization is determined whether according to measurement result；Or, method also includes：According to the distribution situation of physical access point in network load and WLAN, it is determined whether carry out the quantity that the distribution situation of physical access point in multithread polymerization, WLAN is used to indicate the physical access point in each region.
Step 702：WLAN AP receive the first request message, and send the first response message to eNB, and the first response message includes the mark of virtual access point and the termination point of a tunnel of WLAN AP distribution.
Wherein, virtual access point is a logic entity present in a physical access point, when a physical access point supports multiple virtual access point, each virtual access point is WAP (AP) to user equipment, and each virtual access point can only be with a user device association in the same time.The mark of the virtual access point can be basic service set identification (English：Basic Service Set Identifier, referred to as：BSSID it is) or (English for service set：Service Set Identifier, referred to as：SSID, can also be written as extended service set identification (English：Extended Service set, referred to as：ESSID)).It should be understood that Basic Service Set (English：Basic Service Set, referred to as：BSS) be wlan network a basic module, generally by an access point AP and multiple work stations (English：Station, referred to as：STA) constitute.Extended service set (English：Extended Service set, referred to as：ESS) it is made up of multiple BSS.Wherein, each BSS has unique mark (English：Identity, referred to as：ID), i.e. BSS ID or BSS marks.Because BSS generally has an access point AP, therefore BSS marks are usually access point AP mark, for example, can be AP MAC Address.

Wherein, mark of the user equipment in LTE RAN can be CRNTI marks, TMSI or TEID etc..
Further, before step 901, this method can also include：To user equipment send configuration information, configuration information is measured for instruction user equipment to the WLAN where itself；The measurement result that user equipment is sent is received, and progress multithread polymerization is determined whether according to measurement result；Or, method also includes：According to the distribution situation of physical access point in network load and WLAN, it is determined whether carry out the quantity that the distribution situation of physical access point in multithread polymerization, WLAN is used to indicate the physical access point in each region.
Alternatively, it can also include user equipment carrying mark and priority in LTE RAN in first request message.
Step 902：WLAN AP receive the first request message, and send the first response message to eNB, First response message includes the mark of virtual access point.
Wherein, virtual access point is a logic entity present in a physical access point, when a physical access point supports multiple virtual access point, each virtual access point is WAP (AP) to user equipment, and each virtual access point can only be with a user device association in the same time.The mark of the virtual access point can be BSSID or be SSID, can also be written as ESSID.It should be understood that BSS is a basic module of wlan network, generally it is made up of an access point AP and multiple STA.ESS is made up of multiple BSS.Wherein, each BSS has unique ID, i.e. BSS ID or BSS marks.Because BSS generally has an access point AP, therefore BSS marks are usually access point AP mark, for example, can be AP MAC Address.
Step 903：ENB sends the second request message to user equipment, and second request message includes the mark of virtual access point, and the second request message accesses the virtual access point for instruction user equipment.
Specifically, the SCell Addition or Data Radio Bearer configuration that second request message can be carried by RRC connections reconfiguration message are sent, and can also be sent by the message of other new definition.
Step 904：User equipment is authenticated and accessed to virtual access point according to the second request message, and the virtual access point is the corresponding virtual access point of mark of virtual access point in the second request message.
