Abstract

The disclosure relates to technology for a local control point in a communication system. The local control point may be an enterprise gateway configured as a gateway between radio access nodes and a core network that provides wireless communication for wireless devices that connect to the radio access nodes. The enterprise gateway may be connected to radio access nodes in a venue such as a retail shopping center, workplace, sports arena, public street, etc. The enterprise gateway may perform traffic flow management with respect to the local traffic in the venue. The enterprise gateway can make better decisions for traffic flow at the venue than a centralized point, such as a core network.
