Claim 13:
14. An apparatus comprising:
one or more network interfaces; and
one or more processors; wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
implement a Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) configured to communicate with a PMIPv6 Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) implemented at an anchor device;
establish, via the one or more network interfaces, a first data plane between a user equipment device and the apparatus, wherein the user equipment device comprises a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) user equipment device, and wherein the first data plane comprises a 3GPP data plane;
establish, via the one or more network interfaces, a second data plane between the apparatus and the anchor device, wherein the second data plane comprises a PMIPv6 data plane; and
perform a paging mobility management operation for the user equipment device under control of the MAG and the LMA without use of or control by an LTE Mobility Management Entity (MME) device or a 5G Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) device, the paging mobility management operation comprising the LMA initiating paging of the user equipment device by sending a message from the LMA to the MAG and initiating a paging timer at the LMA.
