Abstract:
1. A method for mobile access in a system providing cellular and non-cellular mobile access, the method comprising: establishing a secure connection between a mobile device and a secure gateway node; negotiating a direct tunneling connection between the mobile device and a packet gateway node through the secure gateway node by a serving node, wherein the direct tunneling connection is only dedicated to packet switched traffic of the mobile device using the non-cellular mobile access, wherein the mobile device is configured for mobile access in a system providing cellular access from the mobile device to the packet gateway node via the serving node, and non-cellular access from the mobile device directly to the packet gateway node via the negotiated tunneling connection such that the non-cellular access does not pass through the serving node, the system comprising the serving node, the packet gateway node and the mobile device; and establishing the direct tunneling connection between the mobile device and the packet gateway node through the secure gateway node by the mobile device.
