A wireless communications system supporting user plane data comprising:
- a first network having a first packet data network gateway, P-GW;
- a second network having a second P-GW operably coupled to the first network via a backhaul link;
- a base station;
- a serving gateway, S-GW, and
- a terminal device;
- wherein a single packet data network connection is created for the terminal device that traverses through the first P-GW, second P-GW, S-GW and base station.
A method of operating a wireless communications system for supporting user plane data, the method comprising:
- configuring a first packet data network gateway, P-GW, located in a first network;
- configuring a second P-GW located in a second network that is operably coupled to the first network via a backhaul link;
- and
- creating a single packet data network connection for a terminal device that traverses through the first P-GW and second P-GW.
