Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
providing a first protocol stack at a gateway device, wherein the first protocol stack comprises a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) protocol stack configured to wirelessly communicate with a user equipment device;
providing a second protocol stack at the gateway device, wherein the second protocol stack comprises a Proxy Mobile Internet Protocol version 6 (PMIPv6) protocol stack configured to implement a PMIPv6 Mobile Access Gateway (MAG), communicate with a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) implemented at an anchor device, and provide 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;
obtaining a message at the gateway device from a first one of the user equipment device or the anchor device;
mapping the message from one of the first protocol stack or the second protocol stack to another of the first protocol stack or the second protocol stack; and
providing the message via the another one of the first protocol stack or the second protocol stack to a second one of the user equipment device or the anchor device.
