Abstract:
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a hybrid access gateway (HAG) apparatus for native bridged communication in a communication network, comprising: an upstream interface configured for receiving downlink Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 traffic in said communication network; at least one downstream cellular coupling interface configured to be communicatively coupled to a user equipment (UE) represented by an OSI layer 2 address via a cellular access network (e.g. a Radio Access Network or RAN) of said communication network; an inspection module configured for inspecting an OSI layer 2 header of said received traffic; and a direction module configured for, based on said inspected OSI layer 2 header, directing said received traffic to said user equipment via said at least one downstream cellular coupling interface.

Claim (Index 4):
The hybrid access gateway apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said inspection module is configured for inspecting said OSI layer 2 header by performing 4-tuple Shallow Frame Inspection on a source MAC address, a destination MAC address, a protocol indication, and a bridged subnetwork identification; wherein said bridged subnetwork identification is an identification of a bridged subnetwork of said communication network; wherein said bridged subnetwork is a virtual network configured to allow inter-UE communication at OSI layer 2 in bridged mode by UE which are attached to the same bridged subnetwork, and to disallow inter-UE communication at OSI layer 2 in bridged mode by UE which are attached to a different bridged subnetwork.
