When an UE moves from LTE network to WLAN (wifi), it is authenticated by WLAN. WLAN Access point receives the identity information from UE and then pass this information to 3GPP AAA server by using Wa interface. This interface can use RADIUS or DIAMETER protocol.

As per my knowledge, WiFI calling is supported over untrusted(using ePDG/S2b) networks from Rel 10 onwards.
But I am not sure about WiFi over trusted(TWAG/S2a) networks and having few doubts.

  1. Is VoWiFI is supported over trusted(using TWAG or S2a) networks, if not then what are the limitation?
  2. Is LTE to WiFI handover supported over S2a interface(TWAG) ?

Any help, pointers will be appreciated.

As far as I studied, I know following options that can be used for LTE and Wifi interworking:
1- LTE - U (LTE Unlicensed)
2. LAA (Licensed Assisted Access)
3. LWA (LTE wifi aggregation)
4. MPTCP (Multi path TCP)

Out of above options, there might be other options which I don't know. But out of above four which one is best and due to what reason operator will choose the best one ?
