Abstract

Before the 3G era, research on the convergence of cellular networks and WLAN had withered due to the lack of need and slow data rates, but since the advent of LTE, there have been various studies to converge LTE and Wi-Fi. In general, cellular networks are referred to as licensed bands, and WLANs are also referred to as unlicensed bands. When the two networks are integrated, a wider bandwidth can be used to handle the skyrocketing communication demand. We introduce some methods to converge cellular and Wi-Fi networks in this chapter. The necessity for convergence technology is highlighted, and the development of both Wi-Fi Technology and cellular networks is described. Then we examine current cellular and Wi-Fi convergence technologies, future directions to converge, and requirements of the convergence between 6G and Wi-Fi.
