A method for sending packets to a user equipment, UE, implemented in a system that includes a self-backhauled eNodeB which communicates via a radio interface with an anchor eNodeB, where the anchor eNodeB communicates with a cellular network's serving gateway, S-GW, or a Mobility Management Entity, MME, node of the user equipment, wherein the S-GW is referred to as a S-GW for UE, via a transport network, characterized in that the self-backhauled eNodeB is made reachable to the S-GW for UE or MME node via a second S-GW that serves-the self-backhauled eNodeB, the method further comprising: receiving (605, 700), at the S-GW for UE, the packets destined for the UE served by the self-backhauled eNodeB; classifying (610, 705), at the S-GW for UE, the packets-to one or more bearers associated with the UE served by the self-backhauled eNodeB; encapsulating (615, 710), at the S-GW for UE, the packets to a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol,GTP, tunnel to the self-backhauled eNodeB; sending (620, 715), from the S-GW for UE, the packets to an Internet Protocol, IP, address associated with the self-backhauled eNodeB, receiving, at the second S-GW, the packets, wherein the IP address associated with the self-backhauled eNodeB is associated with the second S-GW, classifying (625, 725), at the second S-GW, the packets to one or more bearers of the self-backhauled eNodeB, encapsulating (630, 730), at the second S-GW, the packets to a General Packet Radio Service, GPRS, Tunneling Protocol, GTP, tunnel towards the anchor eNodeB, sending (635, 735), from the second S-GW, the packets to the anchor eNodeB, receiving, at the anchor eNodeB, the packets, decapsulating (640, 745), at the anchor eNodeB, the packets, mapping (640, 745), at the anchor eNodeB, the packets to the one or more bearers of the self-backhauled eNodeB, sending (645, 750), from the anchor eNodeB, the packets to the self-backhauled eNodeB on a radio interface, receiving, at the self-backhauled eNodeB, the packets, mapping (650, 760), at the self-backhauled eNodeB, the received packets to the one or more bearers of the UE, and sending (655, 765), from the self-backhauled eNodeB, the packets on a radio interface to the UE. receiving (605, 700), at the S-GW for UE, the packets destined for the UE served by the self-backhauled eNodeB; classifying (610, 705), at the S-GW for UE, the packets-to one or more bearers associated with the UE served by the self-backhauled eNodeB; encapsulating (615, 710), at the S-GW for UE, the packets to a General Packet Radio Service Tunneling Protocol,GTP, tunnel to the self-backhauled eNodeB; sending (620, 715), from the S-GW for UE, the packets to an Internet Protocol, IP, address associated with the self-backhauled eNodeB, receiving, at the second S-GW, the packets, wherein the IP address associated with the self-backhauled eNodeB is associated with the second S-GW, classifying (625, 725), at the second S-GW, the packets to one or more bearers of the self-backhauled eNodeB, encapsulating (630, 730), at the second S-GW, the packets to a General Packet Radio Service, GPRS, Tunneling Protocol, GTP, tunnel towards the anchor eNodeB, sending (635, 735), from the second S-GW, the packets to the anchor eNodeB, receiving, at the anchor eNodeB, the packets, decapsulating (640, 745), at the anchor eNodeB, the packets, mapping (640, 745), at the anchor eNodeB, the packets to the one or more bearers of the self-backhauled eNodeB, sending (645, 750), from the anchor eNodeB, the packets to the self-backhauled eNodeB on a radio interface, receiving, at the self-backhauled eNodeB, the packets, mapping (650, 760), at the self-backhauled eNodeB, the received packets to the one or more bearers of the UE, and sending (655, 765), from the self-backhauled eNodeB, the packets on a radio interface to the UE.
