A network apparatus comprising a processor (91, 81) and a memory, the memory storing computer executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, implement an integrated small cell and WiFi gateway, ISW-GW, in a communications network, the ISW-GW operating as a common control plane entity for both LTE access networks and trusted wireless local area network, WLAN, access networks, TWAN, the ISG-GW being communicatively coupled: with a TWAN via a first communication interface, and with a control plane entity via a second communication interface supporting control plane communication, the ISW-GW being configured to perform operations comprising: receiving, over the first interface and through a WLAN access node, a first create session request message associated with a handover of a user equipment, UE, session from a home evolved node B, HeNB, to a trusted WLAN, the first create session request message comprising an indication of the handover, an access point name, APN, an identifier associated with the UE, and a radio access technology, RAT, type; sending, over the second interface and to the control plane entity, a second create session request message comprising the handover indication, the APN, the identifier associated with the UE, and the RAT-type; receiving, over the second interface and from the control plane entity, a first create session response message, the first create session response message comprising general packet radio service, GPRS, tunneling protocol, GTP, tunnel information and bearer parameters; and sending, over the first interface and to the WLAN access node, a second create session response message comprising the GTP tunnel information and the bearer parameters. with a TWAN via a first communication interface, and with a control plane entity via a second communication interface supporting control plane communication, the ISW-GW being configured to perform operations comprising: receiving, over the first interface and through a WLAN access node, a first create session request message associated with a handover of a user equipment, UE, session from a home evolved node B, HeNB, to a trusted WLAN, the first create session request message comprising an indication of the handover, an access point name, APN, an identifier associated with the UE, and a radio access technology, RAT, type; sending, over the second interface and to the control plane entity, a second create session request message comprising the handover indication, the APN, the identifier associated with the UE, and the RAT-type; receiving, over the second interface and from the control plane entity, a first create session response message, the first create session response message comprising general packet radio service, GPRS, tunneling protocol, GTP, tunnel information and bearer parameters; and sending, over the first interface and to the WLAN access node, a second create session response message comprising the GTP tunnel information and the bearer parameters. receiving, over the first interface and through a WLAN access node, a first create session request message associated with a handover of a user equipment, UE, session from a home evolved node B, HeNB, to a trusted WLAN, the first create session request message comprising an indication of the handover, an access point name, APN, an identifier associated with the UE, and a radio access technology, RAT, type; sending, over the second interface and to the control plane entity, a second create session request message comprising the handover indication, the APN, the identifier associated with the UE, and the RAT-type; receiving, over the second interface and from the control plane entity, a first create session response message, the first create session response message comprising general packet radio service, GPRS, tunneling protocol, GTP, tunnel information and bearer parameters; and sending, over the first interface and to the WLAN access node, a second create session response message comprising the GTP tunnel information and the bearer parameters.
