Abstract

Methods, devices, and system related to consistent and reliable local breakout for roaming devices are disclosed. In one example aspect, a method for wireless communication includes transmitting, by a user equipment that roams into a visited network, a request to a network node in the visited network to establish a connection using a first access technology. The method includes receiving, by the terminal device, a response from the network node. The response comprises an address of a gateway in the visited network. The gateway is configured to provide a secured tunnel to the terminal device for data transmissions using a second access technology. The method also includes initiating, by the terminal device, a connection with the gateway using the second access technology based on the address of the gateway, and performing, by the terminal device, data transmissions using the second access technology via the gateway in the visited network.
