Abstract  Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for steering the traffic of the multi-access data connection over a plurality of steering connections. One apparatus 600 includes a includes a transceiver 625 and a processor 605 that sends 805 a first message to establish a multi-access data connection over a first access network and a second access network, where the first message indicates that the apparatus supports a first type of steering functionality that creates a plurality of steering connections over each of access networks. The processor 605 receives 810 a second message including rules indicating how to route a first data packet across the first and second access networks and how to route the first data packet across a plurality of steering connections. The processor 605 establishes 815 a plurality of steering connections over each access network in response to the second message and applies 820 the rules for steering traffic of the multi-access data connection.
