Abstract
A primary connection to a user terminal configured to operate using dual connectivity is maintained. A first control interface is maintained to a first radio node maintaining a secondary connection to the user terminal configured to operate using dual connectivity, the first radio node providing a local gateway for the user terminal. A second control interface is maintained to a core network and a local gateway towards a core network is emulated by providing control plane functions of the local gateway provided by the first radio node towards the core network over the second control interface. Local gateway related control messages are relayed between the core network and the first radio node over the first control interface.
