Methods and apparatuses for handling communication in a communication system comprising an access point and a wire line network node connected via wire line to the access point

摘要

A method is provided performed by an access point for handling uplink communication in a communication system comprising the access point and a wire line network node connected via wire line to the access point. The method comprises receiving an encrypted and/or integrity protected packet data unit, PDU, from a user equipment (UE) wirelessly connected to the access point and detecting type of the received PDU, the type of PDU being any of a signaling radio bearer type or a data radio bearer type. The method further comprises encapsulating the received PDU by setting a header to the PDU, which header comprises an identity indicating the detected type of PDU and an identity indicating a source address and/or a destination address of the PDU, and sending the encapsulated PDU to the wire line network node. Provided is also a corresponding method performed in the wire line network node.

1. A method performed by a Residential Small Cell (RSC)-access point for handling uplink communication in a communication system comprising the RSC-access point and a wire line network node connected via wire line to the RSC-access point, the method comprising:
receiving from a user equipment (UE) that is wirelessly connected to the RSC-access point, a packet data unit (PDU) that is at least one of encrypted and integrity protected; detecting a type of the received PDU as a signaling radio bearer type or a data radio bearer type; encapsulating the received PDU by setting a header to the PDU, the header comprising an identity indicating the detected type of PDU as the signaling radio bearer type or the data radio bearer type, and an identity indicating at least one of a source address and a destination address of the PDU; and sending the encapsulated PDU to the wire line network node via the wire line, wherein a connection via the wire line is configured to identify the RSC-access point to the wire line network node, for further uplink transfer of the PDU based on the type of the PDU.
