Embodiments provide an access point (AP) that includes a set of one or more base-station functions configured to connect a user equipment (UE) to the AP over a wireless communication interface; and a set of one or more core-network functions configured to provide services to the UE. The AP allocates an Internet Protocol (IP) address to the UE by using at least one Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server that is external to the AP.

Mobility functionality for a cloud-based access system

The disclosed embodiments include methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and access devices configured to switch frequencies in a wireless access network. The techniques described in the disclosed embodiments may be used to facilitate efficient switching of frequencies in a dynamic spectrum environment. In one aspect, the disclosed embodiments may be implemented in a Long Term Evolution access network. The disclosed embodiments receive, by an access device, information allocating at least one frequency channel to be used by the access device. The disclosed embodiments also transmit, to one or more user equipment connected to the access device, an instruction for directing the one or more user equipment to look a first frequency channel. As a result, the disclosed embodiments allow efficient switching of frequencies even if the spectrum may be allocated dynamically.
