<p>A Communication Apparatus is described, herein referred as the CA, with integrated functionalities of a User Equipment (UE) and a Home Node-B (HNB), which interconnects to a Core Network (CN) through successive steps. In a first step, the CA interconnects to a Home Node-B GateWay (HNB-GW) over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, over an Iuh Interface. In a second step, the HNB-GW interconnects to the CN over an Iu Interface. Some embodiments describe multi-layered protocol stacks for implementing control plane, user plane and management functionalities for the CA. Uu Air Interface functionalities are provided by an Inter Process Communication (IPC) method.</p> |
