I heard about MAMS for the first time at a Small Cell Forum event in Mumbai, slides are here for this particular presentation from Nokia.
As you can see from the slide above, MAMS can optimise inter-working of different access domains, particularly at the Edge. A recent presentation from Nokia (here) on this topic provides much more detailed insight.
From the presentation:
•
MAMS
(Multi Access Management Services) is a framework for
-
Integrating
different access network domains based on user plane (e.g. IP layer)
interworking,
-
with
ability to select access and core network paths independently
-
and
user plane treatment based on traffic types
-
that
can dynamically adapt to changing network conditions
-
based
on negotiation between client and network
•

The slides provide much more details, including the different use cases (pic below) for integrating LTE and Wi-Fi at the Edge.
