The document discusses license-exempt integration with small cells and wireless technologies. It notes that the Small Cell Forum's carrier members are driving technical workstreams around 5G integration, heterogenous networking, regulatory issues, virtualization, smarter Wi-Fi integration using LAA and Wi-Fi calling, and smarter self-organizing networks. Key criteria for comparing license-exempt systems include device/network connection management, authentication, LAA/LTE-u/LWA support, seamless mobility, and integrated self-organizing networks. LAA and LWA differ in connection management capabilities and neutral host functionality.

- 6. • One of the key differentiators of LAA and LWA based systems is the integrated SON/Load balancing capability. • Integration of RAN Assistance into NBIFOM will be critical for enhanced TWAG propositions to compete with LAA/LWA capabilities. • When contrasting LAA and LWA approaches to license exempt integration into the access network, the key trade-offs in terms of requirements look to be around the enhanced neutral host capability of LWA, versus the lack of connection management functionality necessary for deploying LAA.
