Abstract

See full text

A hybrid access gateway (HAG) apparatus for native bridged communication in a communication network may include an upstream interface configured for receiving downlink Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layer 2 traffic in the 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 the communication network; an inspection module configured for inspecting an OSI layer 2 header of the received traffic; and a direction module configured for, based on the inspected OSI layer 2 header, directing the received traffic to the user equipment via the at least one downstream cellular coupling interface.
