A wireless communication system serves User Equipment (UE) over a Fifth Generation New Radio (5GNR) access point and a non-5GNR access point. The non-5GNR access point exchanges attachment signaling with the UE and exchanges network signaling with a network controller. The network controller exchanges bearer signaling with a data gateway. The data gateway marks Downlink (DL) user data as non-5GNR DL user data and transfers the non-5GNR DL user data to the non-5GNR access point. The data gateway marks additional DL user data as 5GNR DL user data and transfers the 5GNR DL user data to the 5GNR access point. The non-5GNR access point receives and wirelessly transfers the non-5GNR DL user data to the UE. The 5GNR access point receives and wirelessly transfers the 5GNR DL user data to the UE. The data gateway tracks the transferred amount of the non-5GNR DL user data and 5GNR DL user data.
