The present disclosure provides a wireless communication system cooperation method appropriate for cooperation between a mobile communication system and a wireless LAN system involving priority control. In a communication area of 5G, a 5QI representing communication quality is allocated to a service data flow, and the communication of the service data flow is performed via a base station so that the communication quality is realized. A priority condition corresponding to 5QI is set for a frequency resource of the wireless LAN (step 100). When the wireless terminal UE to be protected is handed over to the wireless LAN (step 102), a priority condition set based on 5QI is instructed to the access point (step 106). Thereafter, the access point performs communication of the service data flow according to the priority condition.

Disclosed is a method performed by an access point, AP (120), of a WLAN (125), for handling a wireless device (140) connected to the AP (120). The method comprises obtaining information on signal quality of signals sent between the AP (120) and the wireless device (140), and when the obtained information on signal quality reveals that the signal quality is below a signal quality threshold, determining a current value of a wireless device characteristic.

Disclosed herein is a method for transmitting and receiving data using an LTE-WLAN aggregation in a wireless communication system. The method performed by a terminal comprises transmitting status information to an access point (AP), receiving a specific packet for indicating an activation of the wireless LAN module from the AP, activating the wireless LAN module based on the specific packet, transmitting a response message indicating that the wireless LAN module is activated in response to the specific packet to the AP, and receiving downlink data through an unlicensed spectrum using the LTE-WLAN aggregation from AP.

One feature pertains to a method for secure wireless communication at an apparatus of a network. The method includes receiving a user equipment identifier identifying a user equipment and a cryptographic key from a wireless wide area network node, and using the cryptographic key as a pairwise master key (PMK). A PMK identifier (PKMID) is generated based on the PMK and the two are stored at the network. A PMK security association is initialized by associating the PMK with at least the PMKID and an access point identifier identifying an access point of the apparatus. An association request is received that includes a PMKID from the user equipment, and it's determined that the PMKID received from the user equipment matches the PMKID stored. A key exchange is initiated with the user equipment based on the PMK to establish a wireless local area network security association with the user equipment.
