Abstract
A communication network receives inbound device context for an inbound wireless communication device from a source network. The communication network detects when the inbound wireless communication device attaches to a target Non Third Generation Partnership Project (non-3GPP) access node, and in response, retrieves the inbound device context for the inbound wireless communication device. The communication network transfers network signaling to serve the inbound wireless communication device over the target non-3GPP access node based on the inbound device context. The communication network determines outbound device context for an outbound wireless communication device for a data session over a source non-3GPP access node. The communication network detects when the outbound wireless communication device detaches from the source non-3GPP access node to handover to a target network, and in response, transfers the outbound device context for the outbound wireless communication device to the target network.
