Abstract

Various arrangement of compound cellular networks that accommodate multiple cellular communication protocols are presented. A compound cellular network may connect user equipment (UE) with a data network using a first anchor point. The compound cellular network may transition the UE from the first anchor point to a second anchor point. Following the transitioning, the compound cellular network may connect the UE with the data network using the second anchor point. The UE may then be transitioned from the second anchor point to a converged anchor point of the compound cellular network. The UE may be locked to the converged anchor point while the UE is communicating with a second cellular network that communicates using the second cellular communication protocol.
