Abstract
A wireless communication device () served by a wireless wide area network (WWAN) base station supports per-bearer switching of bearer traffic between the WWAN and a wireless local area network (WLAN) in a manner transparent to the WLAN. The device in this regard establishes a secure tunnel () through the WLAN to a security gateway (), based on the device receiving a message from the WWAN base station () to establish the secure tunnel (). The device switches bearer traffic between the WWAN and the WLAN on a per bearer basis, with bearer traffic switched to the WLAN being transported through the secure tunnel () and over a connection () between the security gateway () and the WWAN base station ().
