A radio access network element comprising: a local gateway and router device configured to route uplink Internet Protocol, IP, packets from a base station to a network element of a wireless local area network, WLAN, by configuring an IP route for the uplink IP packets based on a source IP address of the uplink IP packets, wherein the source IP address of the uplink IP packets is obtained from the WLAN, the source IP address of the uplink IP packets is the source IP address of a Wireless Fidelity, WiFi, interface used by a user equipment application, App (Wi-Fi), the uplink IP packets originate from the user equipment application App (Wi-Fi) having the source IP address of the uplink IP packets, the uplink IP packets have an indicator indicating that the uplink IP packets were received at the base station over a cellular link between a user equipment and the base station the local gateway and router device is further configured to route the uplink IP packets to the network element of the WLAN over a generic routing encapsulation, GRE, tunnel between the local gateway and router device and the network element of the WLAN, the network element of the WLAN is a WLAN gateway , the local gateway and router device is further configured to route the uplink IP packets to a network address translation, NAT, function at the WLAN gateway , and the local gateway and router device does not forward uplink packets to a WiFi access point , rather, the local gateway and router device forwards/routes offloaded uplink IP packets to the WLAN gateway , characterized in that the local gateway and router device is used as access point name, APN, for the offloaded uplink IP packets, wherein the offloaded uplink IP packets are identified amongst the uplink traffic based on said APN and routed to the local gateway and router device for forwarding to the WLAN gateway . a local gateway and router device configured to route uplink Internet Protocol, IP, packets from a base station to a network element of a wireless local area network, WLAN, by configuring an IP route for the uplink IP packets based on a source IP address of the uplink IP packets, wherein the source IP address of the uplink IP packets is obtained from the WLAN, the source IP address of the uplink IP packets is the source IP address of a Wireless Fidelity, WiFi, interface used by a user equipment application, App (Wi-Fi), the uplink IP packets originate from the user equipment application App (Wi-Fi) having the source IP address of the uplink IP packets, the uplink IP packets have an indicator indicating that the uplink IP packets were received at the base station over a cellular link between a user equipment and the base station the local gateway and router device is further configured to route the uplink IP packets to the network element of the WLAN over a generic routing encapsulation, GRE, tunnel between the local gateway and router device and the network element of the WLAN, the network element of the WLAN is a WLAN gateway , the local gateway and router device is further configured to route the uplink IP packets to a network address translation, NAT, function at the WLAN gateway , and the local gateway and router device does not forward uplink packets to a WiFi access point , rather, the local gateway and router device forwards/routes offloaded uplink IP packets to the WLAN gateway , characterized in that the local gateway and router device is used as access point name, APN, for the offloaded uplink IP packets, wherein the offloaded uplink IP packets are identified amongst the uplink traffic based on said APN and routed to the local gateway and router device for forwarding to the WLAN gateway . <EOS>
