Abstract  Abstract

A method and apparatus of offloading traffic in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The wireless communication system, for example, an evolved Node-B (eNB) comprises a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor. The transmitter is configured to transmit, to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), a broadcast system information (SI) message of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system indicating that traffic off-load (TO) is supported. The transmitter is further configured to, after transmitting the broadcast SI message, transmit a non-access stratum (NAS) message to the WTRU, wherein the NAS message indicates that a TO service is available for the WTRU. The receiver is configured to receive, from the WTRU, a signaling for initiating TO service in response to at least the transmitted NAS message. The processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver, is configured to communicate using the TO service while maintaining at least one bearer with the WTRU.
