1. A gateway connected to a plurality of base stations and a core network, the gateway comprising:
a receiver adapted to receive, from the core network, a message establishing a communication path to any one of the plurality of base stations, wherein the message includes a received Access Point Name (APN); a controller adapted to determine, in response to the APN included in the message, a destination of the message using information indicating a destination base station corresponding to the received APN; a transmitter adapted to transmit the message with the destination base station as the destination of the transmission; and a database that stores information indicating one or more mobile stations permitted to connect to the destination base station, wherein:
the message includes an indicator of a requesting mobile station;the controller responds to the message by using the database to determine whether the indicated requesting mobile station is one of the permitted mobile stations; andwhen the indicated requesting mobile station is one of the permitted mobile stations, the transmitter transmits the message with the destination base station as the destination of the transmission.
