Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de commande permettant d'effectuer une connexion de commande de libération d'une connexion RRC. Le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : lorsque la totalité des données d'un équipement utilisateur (UE, User Equipment) sont dérivées vers un réseau local sans fil (WLAN, Wireless Local Area Network), une connexion de commande de ressource radio (RRC, Radio Resource Control) est maintenue avec un dispositif de réseau d'accès radio, le dispositif de réseau d'accès radio recevant dans un réseau cellulaire des premières informations en provenance de l'UE, les premières informations étant utilisées par le dispositif de réseau d'accès radio pour déterminer si ou oui non il doit libérer la connexion RRC établie avec l'UE ; conformément aux premières informations, il est déterminé s'il est ou non nécessaire de libérer la connexion de commande de ressource radio (RRC) établie avec l'UE, et si oui, la connexion RRC établie avec l'UE est alors libérée ; et dans le cas contraire, la connexion RRC est maintenue en continu avec l'UE.
