- the terminal state transition diagram of the second embodiment of the present invention wherein 401-404 are respectively four states of the UE, and the text above the arrow is a state transition condition.
- the terminal is in a starting state. At this time, the terminal monitors the status of the 3GPP access network and the WLAN network. When the 3GPP access network measurement report is sent to the source side, the terminal moves to state 401, that is, the UE starts or restarts the timer.
- the LTE system there are three types of measurement at the RRC layer: event triggered reporting, event triggered periodic reporting, and periodic measurement reporting. Reporting. Eight kinds of measurement reports The triggering event, in which the A2, A3, A4, A5, Bl and B2 events are all likely to cause the RAN to handover the UE to other cells.
- the measurement report of the RRC layer is also similar to the LTE system in terms of the trigger mode: an event-triggered measurement report, an event-triggered periodic measurement report, and a periodic measurement report.
- the trigger events of the measurement reports in the UMTS system are classified. Among them, the events of the 1 series, 2 series and 3 series are likely to cause the terminal to switch.

- the threshold can be used to offload the services or bearers of the WLAN to the RAN.
- the UE transits from state 401 to state 403.
- the UE stops and resets the timer, performs the handover, and automatically transfers to the start state after the handover is performed.
- the UE If the UE is in state 401, or state 402, if the timer expires, it proceeds to the start state. If the UE determines that the WLAN offloading condition is satisfied according to the WLAN interoperation decision criterion, the UE transits to the state 404, and the UE diverts the WLAN to the WLAN. After performing the corresponding shunting operation, the UE automatically transfers to the start state.

- FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a third embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with a flowchart, and the process includes the following steps:
- Step 501 The UE sends a 3GPP access network measurement report to the source side.
- the RAN side configures some measurements for the UE, which may be intra-frequency measurement, inter-frequency measurement, or Inter-RAT measurement, to monitor the current wireless environment, if the neighboring cell is monitored more than the serving cell. Suitable for the UE to provide services, then the source side will configure the handover for the UE.
- the measurement report is an important basis for the RAN to measure whether to switch for the UE.
- the measurement report may be an event-triggered measurement report, or a periodically triggered measurement report, and is a measurement report supported by an existing network of the 3GPP system. If the RAN side is EUTRAN, the source side and/or the target side refer to the evolved base station eNB, if the RAN side is UT AN, then the source side and/or the target side refer to the RNC.
- Step 502 The source side sends a handover request or a relocation request to the target side.
- the source side When the source side receives the measurement report sent by the UE and considers that the UE should perform the handover at this time, the source side searches for the appropriate target cell for the UE, and the source side sends a handover request message (Handover Request) or a relocation request message to the target side. (Relocation Request).
- Handover Request a handover request message
- Relocation Request a relocation request message
- Step 503 The UE sends a measurement report that is offloaded to the WLAN to the source side.
- Step 504 The source side receives the measurement of the WLAN offload.
- the measurement of the offload to the WLAN is triggered by an event, for example, one or more currently

- Step 505 The source side determines whether to offload to the WLAN.
- the source side may delay the offloading to the WLAN, and wait until the response from the target side is received. If the cell is switched to the appropriate cell, the WLAN is offloaded. If no suitable cell is found, the WLAN is offloaded.
- the offloading to the WLAN is cancelled.
- the offloading to the WLAN is performed.
- the source side When the source side decides to offload the WLAN, the source side sends a shunt command to the UE to inform the UE whether to offload to the WLAN or tell the UE which bearers need to be transferred to the WLAN connection, and/or the source side informs the core network which bearers need to be transferred. Modify or delete the corresponding bearer on the WLAN connection.
