Claim 6:
7. A system comprising:
a 5G Non-Stand-Alone (NSA) base station;
a 5G enhanced HetNet Gateway (HNG) in communication with the NSA base station;
a core network in communication with the 5G enhanced HNG, the core network including at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and a 5G Core (5GC); and
wherein the 5G enhanced HNG abstracts core functionality for at least one of the EPC and the 5GC by virtualizing and interworking the at least one of the EPC and the 5GC to the 5G NSA base station, and
wherein signaling traffic from a core is internally processed by the HNG to reduce load on the core.
