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 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 comprising:
receiving from a user equipment (UE) that is wirelessly connected to the access point, a packet data unit (PDU) that is at least one of encrypted and integrity protected; detecting a type of the received PDU, the type of the received PDU being any one of a signaling radio bearer type and 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 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.
