When an UE initiates PS services, the macro network determines whether to offload traffic to the Wi-Fi network and whether to inform the UE of Wi-Fi hotspots based on cell load and available Wi-Fi APs. For example, if the cell load in the macro network reaches a specified threshold and a nearby Wi-Fi AP is available, the macro network sends a hotspot detection notification message to the UE, and switches the UE to the Wi-Fi network. |
